Breathwork encompasses various exercises that use the power of breath to promote greater self-awareness, self-regulation, and personal growth. It is an effective healing modality that can be one of the quickest ways to get out of your head and into your body and heart space.

Breathwork classes are guided by a certified instructor and last about 20 minutes. In an ideal situation everyone will arrive a few minutes early to get checked in, grab a mat, blanket, and an eye mask - which are provided for you. We will begin laying down on a mat with eyes closed (eye mask will help). The instructor will begin guiding you through a series of breathing exercises while consciously regulating the flow of breath through your body. Although everyone’s experience is unique to them, most feel relaxed and connected. Ready for that cold plunge!

Let’s be honest, the plunge can be intimidating for most. After all, who enjoys plunging into icy cold water? Not many. So, we will try our best to make the experience as pleasant as possible.

When paired with breathwork, this powerful trio - that we like to call The Transformative Trio - becomes highly effective as it allows the mind to prepare and tolerate the extreme hot and cold temperatures. During this time, we are able to tap into the power of our mind through our breath to relax and control our autonomic fight or flight response to uncomfortable situations. The ability to apply this form of conscious breathing to our everyday lives will help us cope with high-stress level situations.
