Breathwork Session | Full Moon Ancestral Medicine

FAQs

• What to expect from a breathwork class?

  Breathwork meets you exactly where you are. Through guided breathing, your body begins to soften, open, and reveal what has been held - stress, emotions, tension, or simply the need to reconnect.

  On the day, I guide you through every step: the breath, the sensations, the release, and the integration.

  A class usually lasts 90–120 minutes, moving from preparation to active breathwork into deep rest, where the nervous system settles, and everything lands gently.

  Every session is tailored to you or your group. Nothing is forced, and I meet you where you are.

• How to prepare for the upcoming session?

  There is no big preparation needed - just come as you are.

  These simple guidelines will help your body open and receive the experience more fully:

  • Wear loose, comfortable clothing so you can move and breathe without restriction.

  • Remove jewellery, especially around the neck.

  • Bring your water bottle and lip balm.

  • Bring your journal if you like to capture anything afterwards.

  • Avoid coffee or stimulants for about 4 hours before the session.

  • Avoid heavy meals - try not to eat for 90 minutes beforehand.

  • No alcohol for 24 hours before the session.

  A note on sexual activity on the day:

  In spiritual traditions, it’s recommended to avoid sex on the day of the session, simply because it keeps your energy more contained and focused inward.

  If this resonates with your spiritual beliefs, you are welcome to follow it. If not, don’t worry, live as you do. This work meets you exactly where you are.

  After the session, give yourself at least an hour with no plans.

• What happens to the mind and body during a breathwork session?

  Breathwork works directly with your nervous system. As your breathing changes, your body shifts between activation and relaxation, which creates space for release and reset.

  Because more oxygen moves through the body than usual, you may feel tingling, warmth, tension releasing, changes in temperature, or emotions rising to the surface. These sensations are normal - this is your system opening and letting go of what it has been holding.

  Memories, insights, or clarity may come. Some people feel lighter, calmer, or more grounded. Others feel emotional release or deep stillness. Every experience is personal.

  A single session can shift a lot, and with regular practice breathwork can support better sleep, less stress, emotional balance, and a stronger sense of connection to yourself.

  During the session, all you need to do is breathe. I guide you through the entire process so your body feels safe, supported, and able to open naturally.

• Are there any medical instances where breathwork can't be practiced?

  Breathwork is powerful, deep work - and for safety reasons, it isn’t suitable for everyone.
