Breathwork * Medical Disclaimer:
Breathwork is a powerful experiential tool and process that allows deep self-exploration and transformation. Breathwork uses the power of breath and music to help you access a non-ordinary state of consciousness. Because this process can bring up intense emotions and strong physical experiences, please understand that issues arising from participation in Breathwork may require additional therapeutic or supportive interventions. If you are in the first trimester of a high-risk pregnancy, have a history of seizures, or any other significant health issues, please discuss if Breathwork is appropriate for you with your healthcare provider.
