What happens during a Connected Breathwork session?
During a session, participants engage in continuous, rhythmic breathing with no pauses between inhalation and exhalation.
The facilitator will guide you to focus on your breath, often while lying down in a comfortable position.
The session may also include music, verbal guidance, and bodywork to support emotional release and relaxation.
How do I prepare for a Connected Breathwork session?
Wear comfortable clothing: Loose, breathable clothes will allow you to relax and breathe easily.
Hydrate before the session: Drink water beforehand, but avoid eating a heavy meal.
Set an intention: Reflect on what you hope to gain from the session (e.g., emotional release, clarity, relaxation).
Keep an open mind: It’s important to approach the session without expectations, as every breathwork session can be different.
What role does the facilitator play in the session?
The facilitator provides guidance, support, and safety throughout the session.
They may: Offer breathing cues and reminders to stay connected to your breath.
Play music or use sound to help guide your emotional journey. Provide emotional or physical support if strong feelings or sensations arise.
Perform light bodywork (such as touching specific points) to assist with energy release, though this varies by facilitator and is often optional.
Is there a specific way to integrate the experience after a session?
Yes, integration is a key part of breathwork.
Here are some ways to support integration:
Rest and hydrate:
Give yourself time to rest and drink plenty of water.
Journaling: Write about your experience, including any emotions, thoughts, or insights that surfaced during the session. Gentle movement: Activities like yoga, stretching, or walking can help ground and integrate your experience.
Reflection: Continue reflecting on your session over the following days, as the insights and emotional shifts may continue to unfold.
What should I expect to feel during a session?
Participants can experience a range of sensations, including: Tingling or vibrations in the body (especially in the hands, feet, or face)
Lightheadedness or a sense of floating
Changes in body temperature (feeling hot or cold) Emotional responses, such as crying, laughter, or feelings of peace
Visual imagery, colors, or memories may surface
These sensations are a normal part of the breathwork process, allowing the body and mind to release tension and access deeper emotional states.
Is there a specific breathing pattern to follow?
Yes, in Connected Breathwork, the key is to maintain a continuous, circular breathing pattern.
This means: Inhale deeply through the mouth (or nose, in some variations), expanding the belly and chest.
Exhale fully but naturally, without force, allowing the breath to flow out in a relaxed manner.
No pauses between the inhale and exhale — it should feel like a continuous loop.
The facilitator will guide you into this pattern and help you maintain it throughout the session.

Can music be used during the session?
Yes, it’s common for connected breathwork to bring up strong emotions, especially if there are unresolved feelings or past negative emotions stored in the body. The process of continuous breathing can unlock these emotions, allowing for their release in a safe and supported environment. This can be deeply healing but may also feel intense, which is why having a trained facilitator is important.
What does a typical Connected Breathwork session structure look like?
A session usually follows a structure similar to this: Introduction & Intention Setting: we'll begin by explaining the process and asking participants to set an intention for the session (e.g., stress relief, emotional healing, clarity).
Breathwork Practice: You will be guided into connected breathing, maintaining a continuous, flowing breath.
This can last anywhere from 30-60 minutes, depending on the session’s length.
Music & Verbal Guidance: To enhance the experience, facilitators often play music designed to evoke emotions or guide you into a relaxed state.
They may also offer verbal prompts to help you stay focused or encourage emotional release. Emotional Release: As the session progresses, many participants experience the release of pent-up emotions or past trauma.
The facilitator may offer support or bodywork to assist in this process. Integration & Rest: After the active breathwork phase, participants are guided into a restful state.
You may be invited to lie still and integrate the experience. This can involve guided meditation, calming music, or silence.
Closing & Reflection: The session concludes with optional discussion allowing you to reflect on what came up during the breathwork and how you feel afterward.
What should I expect after a Connected Breathwork session?
Post-session, you may feel a range of emotions, from calm and peaceful to emotional or even energised.
Common post-session experiences include: A sense of lightness or emotional clarity
Temporary tiredness or the need to rest Emotional processing, such as feelings of joy, sadness, or release Increased mental clarity or insight into a personal issue
A deeper connection to yourself and your emotions
It’s important to allow time to rest and integrate the experience.
Can Connected Breathwork bring up intense emotions?
