Question 1

What are the benefits of breathwork?

Accepted Answer

Breathwork has SO many incredible benefits and these will differ depending on the intentionality of the session and the breathing exercises and techniques used.

When working with the breath we can:

-Alleviate emotional stress and calm the nervous system in real time (e.g. anxiety, insomnia)
-Boost energy and improve mental clarity 
-Build emotional resilience 
-Learn to connect with ourselves and harness our own power
-Re-programme the subconscious
-Improve physical health (e.g. HRV, bio-rhythm coherence, immune system etc)

Question 2

Is breathwork safe for everyone?

Accepted Answer

Breathwork is considered safe for most people. Whilst there are some breathing exercises and techniques which shouldn't be undertaken by everyone, I will always signpost these and give you safe alternatives. Contraindications for certain exercises and techniques include: pregnancy, epilepsy, cardiovascular conditions, severe COPD.

You are in control of your breath, so this practice is truly about listening to your body. No one knows your body and limits like you do!

And always feel free to drop me a message if you have any questions or concerns.

Question 3

What can I expect from a Restorative Breathwork session?

Accepted Answer

We'll practice a series of breathing techniques to balance the nervous system, sooth mental tension and relieve stress in the body.

The session will be focused on grounding by softening the breath and reconnecting you with your body through meditative Pranayama techniques.

By slowing and harmonising the breath, we can achieve energetic balance, mental clarity and a feeling of calm. This gentle approach to breathwork is subtle yet profoundly effective, offering a soothing alternative to more stimulating techniques.

To note:

-Breathwork is best done on an empty stomach so try not to eat anything too heavy in the 2 hours prior to your session. Otherwise your body will be more focused on digestion throughout.

Question 4

What can I expect from a SOMA Breathwork session?

SOMA Breath sessions are guided with a theme to deepen the intention and enhance self discovery. Meditation themes include:

**If there is a specific theme or intention you'd like to work on within a SOMA Breath session, drop me a message. I'm happy to craft and tailor sessions to suit your needs :)

To note:

-Breathwork is best done on an empty stomach so try not to eat anything too heavy in the 2 hours prior to your session. Otherwise your body will be more focused on digestion throughout.

-Make sure you have a nice comfortable space free from distractions. For SOMA first timers these sessions are best done lying done so make sure you are comfortable and have a blanket to wrap around you.
