Deeper breathing is for most people — not for every body in every season.

Please talk with us first if any of these apply

Booking is still often possible — we simply adapt the pace, depth, and posture together, and in some cases we'll ask that you check with your doctor first.

  • Pregnancy

  • Heart conditions, including arrhythmia or a history of heart attack

  • High blood pressure that isn't controlled by medication

  • Epilepsy or a history of seizures

  • History of stroke or aneurysm

  • Glaucoma or retinal detachment

  • Severe asthma (bring your inhaler either way)

  • Recent surgery or serious physical injury

  • Diagnosis of bipolar disorder, psychosis, or schizophrenia

  • PTSD or significant unprocessed trauma — sessions can be adapted gently; we just want to know

  • Any condition where your doctor has advised against physical exertion

Good to know either way

Strong sensations can arise during connected breathing — tingling, temperature changes, waves of emotion, temporary tightness in the hands or face. These are normal, they pass, and you're in charge the whole time: slowing down or returning to normal breathing is always available, and we'll remind you of that in the room.

Unsure whether something on this list applies to you? Just reach out before booking — a short message is enough, and it stays between us. In most cases the answer is simply a softer session.

One honest note: we're facilitators, not medical professionals. Nothing here replaces your doctor's advice, and when in doubt, theirs is the word that counts.

BEFORE YOU BOOK THE BREATH

Connected breathing changes the chemistry and rhythm of the body — that's how it works, and it's also why we're careful. For most people it's deeply safe. For some conditions, the session needs adapting; for a few, it's better to wait or choose a different doorway, like The Pause.
