Each session has the potential to unlock profound insights, release emotional blockages, and awaken a deeper connection to yourself.
As you venture further into your breathwork practice, you may begin to notice subtle nuances in your experience. The way you breathe, the sensations you feel, the emotions that arise – all of these can vary depending on your mindset and intentions going into the session.
