Breathwork Sessions

What is Breath Work?

Breathwork is an energy practice guided by the intentional manipulation of the exhale. Also known as pranayama in yogic traditions, different breathwork techniques have different energetic impacts:

• cleansing and purification
• grounding and calming
• clarifying
• fire-building
• endurance-building
• connection
• embodied awareness of thought patterns
• embodied awareness of physical patterns
• and more!

What is Tantric Breath work?

Zel is trained in tantric breath practices, which focus on:

• Concentrating, containing and dispersing vital life force for therapeutic benefit
• Directing awareness to particular body parts in need of opening and expansion via visualization & breath
• Becoming aware of how our patterns of thought live in the breath and the body

Using different techniques, tantric breathing intentionally shifts the energetic imprint of our current experience to:

• create activation, movement and awakening
• create digestion, rest, and processing
• create balance and peace

During Sessions

We'll engage in light movement before beginning breathwork. Breathwork can be intense, and the body should always be prepared first through movement! No mats needed. This movement will be intuitive and can be done seated. Fun fact: Yoga Asana is meant to prepare the body to engage in breathwork and meditation—physical practice was never meant to stand alone!

Zel will determine based on intake forms, conversation, consent check-ins and intuition what kind of breathwork

• will be most effective for your current somatic needs
• has impacts that are within your nervous system's window of tolerance
