Join me at MindBodyHum for a powerful and therapeutic breathwork experience.

What is conscious connected breathwork?

From breathwork instructor and facilitator Sword and Lotus: "Breathwork is the practice of consciously working with the breath, generally for relaxation, meditation, or therapeutic purposes, and to unwind tension patterns in the physical, mental, and emotional body."

"In a conscious connected breathwork session, you will be guided in a 3-part breathing technique – a 2-part inhale into the abdomen and chest, followed by a relaxed exhale. Adjustments to the baseline breathing pattern are welcome as you explore the relationship between your breath and embodied experience, and you will be invited to explore breath holds and retentions, to pause and rest in awareness, and to welcome any body movements or sounds that want to express."

What to expect during your journey:

This two-hour session will begin with an activating conscious connected breathwork practice, followed by a sound bath featuring crystal singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and other instruments to soothe and settle your nervous system. Your facilitator will offer guidance and support during the breathwork practice, and you'll breathe to a thoughtfully curated playlist that will help you drop out of your mind and into your body.
