Question 1

What to expect during a breathwork session?

Accepted Answer

Breathwork can bring about a wide range of experiences. For some, it’s like riding a wave, sometimes smooth and peaceful, other times raw, intense or cathartic. And for others… not much may seem to happen in the moment, and that’s perfectly okay too. Trust that the breath always gives you what you’re ready for.In a single session, you might experience:Strong physical sensations – tingling, pulsing, vibration, or shifts in body awarenessEmotional release – anything from bliss to anger, grief, unexpected tears or laughterTemperature changes – feeling hot and sweaty or suddenly cold and shiveryDeep relaxation – drifting into a dreamlike or meditative stateStrong activation – waves of energy, movement, or emotional catharsisOr even… stillness – which doesn’t mean “nothing happened.” Sometimes the shift is subtle or shows up laterThese experiences are all part of the breath’s natural intelligence. Whatever arises is welcome and held with compassion.Physical Effects May Include:Dizziness or lightheadednessTingling in hands, feet, or faceMuscle stiffness or cramping (especially in the hands or feet - known as tetany)Feeling hot, cold, or sweatyInvoluntary movements (shaking, twitching, shivering)Dehydration (so please come well-hydrated)Rarely: Fainting or dissociation. These are not common, but can occur with emotional intensity or over-breathing. If they do, we are here to support you fully in a grounded and safe way.Emotional Effects May Include:Sudden waves of emotion—joy, sadness, vulnerability, or griefFeeling deeply connected to others in the spaceStrong emotional resonance with others – for example, hearing someone else cry, shout, or release can stir something in you tooFlashbacks, memories, or visual insights rising from the subconsciousEverything you feel is valid. Most people find that even when the experience is intense, it feels meaningful, needed, or even beautiful. The breath has a way of gently (or powerfully) showing you what you’re ready to feel and release.Your Well-being Is Our Priority 🌿Breathwork is generally safe for healthy individuals, but it can be physically and emotionally intense.

Question 8

Are there any Contradictions?

Accepted Answer

YES!ContraindicationsBreathwork is a powerful and transformative practice that can bring deep emotional release, clarity and nervous system regulation. At the same time, it can be quite activating - physically, mentally and emotionally. That’s why it’s important to honour your body and check in with any health conditions you may have before participating.There are some situations where it may not be safe to take part or where extra support is needed. If any of the following apply to you, please connect with me beforehand so we can talk it through. This isn’t about exclusion- it’s about making sure you feel safe, supported and held throughout the experience.Please reach out to me first if you:Are pregnant (any stage) – Breathwork can overstimulate the nervous system and potentially affect uterine activity.Have a severe trauma history or PTSD – Breathwork can bring up intense emotions and memories that may require additional support.Have used recreational drugs, alcohol, or psychedelics in the last 24 hours – These substances can alter your ability to self-regulate and interact unpredictably with breathwork.Take medication that affects brain chemistry (such as antidepressants, anti-anxiety meds, or medication for ADD/OCD) – These can sometimes lower your threshold for emotional or energetic shifts.Have detached retina or glaucoma – Breath pressure changes may affect eye health.Have kidney disease – Breath retention can affect fluid regulation and blood pressure.Experience high or low blood pressure – Breathwork may create spikes or drops that can be risky.Have a heart condition – Including past heart attack, angina, stroke, or other cardiovascular issues. Breathwork may increase strain on the heart and circulatory system.Have a personal or family history of aneurysms – Breathwork can temporarily increase blood pressure, raising the risk of rupture.Have an uncontrolled thyroid condition – The nervous system stimulation may amplify symptoms.Have diabetes (Type 1 or 2) – Breathwork can affect blood sugar levels, especially if fasting.Live with severe asthma – Breathwork can trigger symptoms. If your asthma is mild or moderate, I ask that you bring your inhaler and we’ll chat first.Have epilepsy or a seizure history – Breathwork may raise the risk of seizures.Have a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, psychosis, or if you’ve been hospitalised for a psychiatric/emotional crisis in the past 10 years – The altered states in breathwork may feel destabilising.Experience severe psychosomatic symptoms or high nervous system sensitivity – Intense breathwork may amplify those sensations.Are recovering from recent surgery, pregnancy or birth, have stitches or a healing injury – Physical tension or movement may interfere with healing.A few other important considerations:If you’ve fasted for more than 12 hours, it may not be the best time for breathwork—low blood sugar can lead to faintness or dizziness.If you live with chronic depression, anxiety, or emotional dysregulation, please check in with your healthcare provider and reach out to me. This work can be incredibly supportive, but I want to ensure it’s safe and grounding for you.If you’re unsure about anything, I’m more than happy to talk it through with you. My intention is always to hold a space where you feel safe, respected and empowered in your experience.

Question 9

Is Pranayama the same as Breathwork?

Accepted Answer

While they share a deep connection, they are not exactly the same. Pranayama originates from the yogic tradition and translates to the expansion or regulation of prana (the life force energy) through the breath. It is a sacred and energetic practice that uses intentional techniques, rhythms, and awareness to bring balance to the body, mind, and spirit.Breathwork, in contrast, is a broader term embraced in many modern wellness practices. It focuses on using the breath as a tool to release tension, process emotions, and support healing. Some breathwork methods are inspired by pranayama, while others have evolved into contemporary, therapeutic approaches.In essence, every pranayama is a form of breathwork—but not all breathwork is pranayama.
