A powerful breathing practice that facilitates emotional release, expanded states of consciousness, and deep healing.
Conscious Connected Breathwork is an active breathing technique where the inhale and exhale are connected without pauses. This continuous circular breath creates a rhythm that can access and release held emotions, clear energetic blockages, and facilitate profound states of awareness.
The practice
In a Conscious Connected Breathwork session, you lie down in a comfortable position and breathe continuously through an open mouth. The breath is typically fuller than normal, with the inhale flowing directly into the exhale without holding.
This breathing pattern activates the parasympathetic nervous system while also creating a heightened state of awareness. The result is often a deeply cathartic experience that can release stored emotions and tension.
Benefits of breathwork
Regular breathwork practice can offer numerous benefits:
Emotional Release: Access and process emotions that may be held in the body
Stress Reduction: Activate the relaxation response and reduce cortisol levels
Increased Energy: Clear stagnant energy and feel more vital
Mental Clarity: Experience greater focus and presence
Spiritual Connection: Access expanded states of consciousness
Physical Wellbeing: Improve respiratory function and oxygenation
What to expect
Sessions typically last 60-90 minutes, with the active breathing portion lasting 30-45 minutes. You may experience:
Tingling sensations in the body
Emotional releases (crying, laughing)
Visual experiences or insights
Deep states of relaxation
A sense of connection and peace
Each experience is unique, and our facilitators are trained to support whatever arises in a safe, non-judgmental space.
Integration
After the breathing portion, there is time for integration—lying still, journaling, or gentle movement. This is an important part of the process, allowing the body and mind to integrate the experience.
Note: Breathwork is contraindicated for certain conditions including pregnancy, cardiovascular issues, and some psychiatric conditions. Please consult with a facilitator before attending.
Frequently asked questions
What is somatic therapy?
Somatic therapy is a body-centred approach to healing that recognises the connection between mind and body. Rather than just talking about experiences, somatic practices help you tune into physical sensations, release stored tension, and restore balance to your nervous system.
Who are your workshops for?
Our workshops are for anyone looking to release stress, reconnect with their body, or explore somatic practices. No prior experience is needed. Whether you're dealing with chronic tension, recovering from burnout, or simply curious about body-based approaches to wellbeing, you're welcome here.
What should I wear to a workshop?
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows you to move freely and lie down. Layers are helpful as body temperature can fluctuate during the practices. Avoid restrictive clothing like tight jeans or belts.
Do I need to be physically fit?
No special fitness level is required. Our practices are accessible to most people and can be adapted to your needs. If you have specific physical limitations or health concerns, please contact us before booking so we can advise whether our workshops are suitable for you.
What happens in a typical workshop?
Our workshops begin with an introduction and grounding exercises. You'll then be guided through the somatic practices (TRE™ and breathwork), followed by integration time for rest and reflection. There's space for questions and sharing throughout, though participation is always optional.
Is it normal to feel emotional during a session?
Yes, it's completely normal. Somatic practices can release emotions that have been held in the body. You might experience crying, laughter, or other emotional expressions. Our facilitators create a safe, non-judgmental space for whatever arises.
