"I am dedicated to the exploration of breath as a means
to a happy, healthy, and harmonious existence."
John Michael Sahakian

 

What is Breathwork?
BREATHWORK, or BREATH THERAPY is the practice of learning to breathe better,
and using the breath to balance the nervous system, bringing body, mind, and Spirit into alignment.

Homeostasis is the key to longevity, a healthy response to the stress,
and proper immune system function.

 

Why Breathwork?
My approach to Breathwork focuses on mental, physical, and spiritual equilibrium.
Because breathing is the most important aspect of our lives, learning to breathe better
and gaining breath awareness is a natural compliment to all other forms of therapy.

  • Emotionally -- Our breath is the bridge between the conscious and unconscious mind, thus
      working with the breath allows us to better manage inner conflicts, which affect our outer lives.
      •Physically -- Breathwork allows us to control our nervous system, balancing oxygen & carbon
      dioxide levels, increasing blood circulation, lowering blood pressure, enabling better mental focus,
     creating more energy, eliminating toxins, improving digestion, all the while reducing strain on the heart.
      •Spiritually -- Breath awareness is the primary foundation for meditation, yoga, and connecting
     with the Divine, or our deepest Self.

Once you’ve learned how to breathe the way your body was designed to breathe, you have a
simple, no cost, yet powerful tool to improve all areas of your life.

 

What happens in a Breathwork session?
A Breathwork session generally lasts an hour and twenty-five minutes. During this time
you become more familiar with your breathing habits through a series of Breath Awareness
exercises. You learn that how you breathe is a direct result of where you are emotionally,
physically, and spiritually in your life. You are taught how to flip the switch of your nervous
system, decreasing the effects of stress. As I gently guide you into a total state of relaxation,
I facilitate the opening of the breathing spaces in your body. There is some light massage,
specific musical rhythms, and verbal encouragement used to help you remember how you
breathed when you were a baby. The experience can be very liberating, and extremely calming.
