An evening of Breathwork

What can you expect?

Lois uses breathwork in a way that incorporates breathing techniques, movement, chanting and meditation, which encourages an emotional release.

What is Breathwork –

Breathwork is a breathing technique that involves intentionally changing your breathing pattern. It can be used to improve physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Soma breathwork uses rhythmic breathing synchronised to music. It also incorporates a breath hold, as made famous by the Wimm Hoff method of breathing. Research suggests it can significantly reduce symptoms of stress and anxiety. It does this by lowering cortisol levels as well as blood pressure and heart rate, which can help to improve your sleep.

Contraindications

Slow rhythmic breathing techniques of SOMA Breath are safe to be used for anyone and can be beneficial for all individuals.

Forceful mouth breathing, prolonged breath holds and extended intense fast breathwork/hyperventilation for more than 5 minutes, should NOT be practiced in the case of any of the following:

1. Severe/critical diseases or infections if it impairs your ability to breathe

2. Severe uncontrolled hypertension (usually after a heart attack)

3. Organ failure or late-stage terminal illness

4. Pregnancy

5. If you have epilepsy, a pacemaker, or irregular heart beat (Exception: your doctor gives you specific permission).

Some conditions (Eg: Tinnitus, hernias) may be aggravated by forceful mouth breathing, prolonged breath holds and prolonged, intense, rapid breathing/hyperventilation and careful attention to technique is required.

To learn how to do our techniques correctly and to see which techniques are most suitable for your situation we advise speaking to a certified SOMA Breath instructor.

Tinnitus

To stop the pressure that builds up in the head, aggravating tinnitus in certain cases, the participant has to make sure he's doing the neck energy lock.

This is when the person, when sitting down, lowers the neck a bit to create a "lock" preventing the air to go up.

SAFETY

We advice not to do SOMA Breath in the case of:

· Full stomach

· Flue or fever

· Driving a car or operating machinery

· In water
