FAQ
i've never done breathwork before. what should i expect?
the breathwork experience differs for everyone and depends on many different factors, including: the type of breathwork, the duration, the intention behind the session, each person's own physical and emotional conditions, the space and surroundings, the pacing, etc.
there are numerous styles and techniques, which each affect the mind and body differently. much like the concept of "yoga" can mean a variety of different things and each class has its own focus (flexibility, strength, balance, stretching, flow, alignment, etc.), every breathwork session is a unique experience.
the BODY ENGLISH method is focused mainly around "conscious connected breathwork," which is a breathing technique that involves inhaling and exhaling without pausing (also referred to as "circular breathing").
in a typical B|E breathwork session / audio / workshop, one could expect: a discussion about the session and intentions behind it + guidelines, directives and demonstration + a grounding exercise to calm the body and get into a state of relaxation before beginning the "focused breathing," which lasts anywhere from 5 minutes to 45 minutes, depending on the session type.
breathers are given cues and guided along by a facilitator, who may offer suggestions, prompts and/or reminders along the way. much like going for a jog, it takes the body (typically) a few minutes to get used to actively breathing, and then becomes easier as the session goes on / as the body gets into a rhythm.
