Breathwork for the ones who never quite fit the flock. Come back to your body, let go of what you've been carrying, and find your roots again.
Follow the sheep. In through the mouth to the belly, then up into the chest, then let it all go.
That's the whole technique. The rest is letting it happen.
Same room, same care. Pick the one that sounds like you, or try both.
A guided breathing journey you experience through headphones. Your breath leads, while layered sound, music, and spoken guidance move with you, shifting from ear to ear, to help settle your nervous system.
With headsets on, you only hear your own journey. No one else's breathing, sounds, or reactions. It's private, even in a full room. No experience needed.
Read the FAQEvery journey is different. Most follow a shape like this.
oneYou lie down, get comfortable, and follow the breath.
twoSometimes what's been held comes up: tears, sound, shaking, laughter. All of it is welcome.
threeYou come back to stillness, lighter, and we take time to land together.

A guided somatic breathwork journey for Día de Muertos. With intentional breathing, music, and gentle reflection, we'll make space to honour who and what we've lost, ease stress, and reconnect with your body. Trauma-informed and supportive, with time for optional sharing at the end. No experience needed.

Bring water
Bring a mat
Bring an eye coverNo. Every session starts with a walkthrough, and we guide you the whole way.
A yoga mat (or borrow one at the studio), something to cover your eyes, a water bottle, and comfortable layers. Each session page has a full list.
That's the body doing its work. You're never alone with it, and nothing you do in the room is wrong.
Breathwork can be an activating experience. If you're pregnant, or have a heart condition, epilepsy, a history of psychosis or bipolar disorder, or severe anxiety or PTSD, please talk to your doctor and let us know before booking.
Yes. This is where we started. If you spend a lot of time stuck in your head, breathwork gives you a way out that talking doesn't. It works through the body, not around it.
Bring breathwork to your workplace, team day, or private group. We bring the headsets and set up the room. You bring the people.
