Breathwork Basics: An Intro to Somatic Breathwork

In this beginner-friendly session, you'll learn the foundations of somatic breathwork — what it is, how it works, and why it's one of the most powerful tools you have for processing stress, emotions, and tension stored in your body.

This session is part teaching, part experience, part conversation. You'll learn the foundations, then you'll feel them in your body through a guided breathwork practice. And there will be plenty of time for questions — because this stuff can bring up a lot, and you deserve space to process it.

You'll leave with a felt sense of what breathwork can do — and simple tools you can use on your own.

This session is for you if:

• You've never tried breathwork and want to see what all the hype is about
• You've dabbled but want a deeper understanding of the "why" behind the practice
• You carry stress in your body and are looking for a new way to release it
• You're curious about somatics and want a low-pressure way to explore

No experience necessary. Just come as you are.

What to Expect: Part teaching, part experience, part conversation. All levels welcome—no experience needed.

Yoga mats (or comfy chairs) are provided.

What to Bring: You don't need to bring anything except yourself, however, the following items might make your experience more comfortable:

• A blanket
• A bolster or extra yoga mat to get extra cozy
• Water bottle
• Comfortable clothing
• Open mind and heart
• A journal for reflection
• Chapstick

We don't recommend eating a large meal 2 hours before we start, it might cause nausea

What's the parking situation?

You can park in the front lot in front of the building and come through the front door (next to the big garage door). There is also a gravel lot attached to that front lot where people have been parking for free with no issue for quite some time, if all of those spots are taken, and there is no street parking, you can park at Bearded Iris at 101 Van Buren St. and walk through the back door (right next to the Bearded Iris door)

When you walk through the front door of the building, make a hard left and you’ll see a brick wall. Walk through the opening of the brick wall and the double doors to within is right there!

If you come in the back door through Bearded Iris patio, you’ll walk down the curvy hall make your first right, take that all the way down and make a left, then you’ll see a brick wall with an opening take a right and the double doors to within is right there!
