Inside Breathwork Series | Part 9: When This Class is NOT the Right Fit

This work isn’t about pushing harder or bypassing your feelings.

It’s about listening, regulating, and learning to be with yourself… even when it’s uncomfortable.
If that resonates, you’ll likely feel at home here.

Because this is a physiologically activating practice, there are times when group breathwork isn’t appropriate.

This class is not advised if you are pregnant, or if you have certain respiratory, cardiovascular, neurological, kidney, metabolic, or eye conditions, a severe mental illness, or a recent surgery or injury.

Your safety matters deeply to me.

If you’re unsure whether this class is right for you, please reach out before booking - I’m always happy to help you decide what’s best for your body and nervous system.

Sometimes the most empowered choice is waiting, or speaking with your doctor first.

This wraps up the Inside Breathwork Series - thank you for being here.
If you’ve been watching along and feel called to experience it, you’re welcome anytime.

Inside Breathwork Series | Part 8: Is this Breathwork Class for You?

This work often resonates with people who are on a journey of getting to know themselves more deeply. Those who value their overall health and wellbeing, and understand that nervous system care supports a more grounded, fulfilling life.

From a practical perspective, this class tends to support adults (18+) who are feeling stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in their head - and who are curious about a body-based way to regulate their nervous system.

Many clients have shared they live with:
• anxiety or overwhelm
• OCD or ADHD
• grief, depression, or emotional fatigue
• stress-related health challenges

You don’t need prior experience with breathwork.
You don’t need to “do it right.”

Just a willingness to be present with yourself.

This work meets you where you are. You choose your depth, your pace, and your level of engagement. Even staying close to the surface can support calm, clarity, and a lighter stress load.

This is a supportive, guided, and grounded space. There’s no pressure to perform… you are always in charge, and your body knows best.

In the final reel of this series, Part 9, I’ll share when this class may not be the right fit.
Spoiler: it’s not for everyone.

Inside Breathwork Series | Part 7: Why this Strengthens Your Nervous System

I like to think of this work as nervous system training.

Some sessions intentionally create challenge… quicker breathing, breath holds, strong sensation.

Not to overwhelm you, but to practice staying present and breathing through discomfort… and then coming back to regulation.

Over time, your system learns:
• I can do difficult things
• I am safe
• I can return to calm

Other sessions move slowly and gently, helping your body remember what true regulation actually feels like… so you can recognize more quickly when you’re out of balance in everyday life.

Curious to experience it for yourself?

Weekly classes run Thursdays at 7pm at Inspire Women’s Fitness in Fort Langley.

In Part 8, I’ll talk about who tends to benefit most from this work.

And I’ll wrap up the series in Part 9 by sharing when this class may not be the right fit.

Inside Breathwork Series | Part 6: Is it Normal to Cry in Breathwork?

Every session is unique. Your body, your experiences, and your current state all influence what comes up - and what happens one time may not happen the same way the next. That’s why it’s important to leave expectations at the door and allow your body to process what it needs, in its own time.

Breathwork works with the body - and the body stores emotion. It’s common for tears, laughter, anger, or deep relief to surface, but it’s equally valid if your session brings clarity, calm, or presence instead. This isn’t about forcing anything… it’s about creating a safe container where your system can release and reset.

Breathwork meets you where you are… exactly what your body and nervous system need will happen naturally.

Inside Breathwork Series | Part 5: Why We Use Music + Rhythm

The nervous system responds powerfully to rhythm - which is why music is woven through the entire session, from the initial shaking and stomping, through the breathwork, and into the guided integration at the end.

During breathwork, the beat guides the breath, helping your body bypass overthinking and drop into a deeper, more intuitive state.

When we move into guided integration, the music shifts: it softens, slows, and becomes more emotion inducing - coaxing release, reflection, and deeper connection.

You don’t have to “try.”
The rhythm and the energy of the music carry you.

Inside Breathwork Series | Part 4: What Happens After Breathwork

After the breathwork, the body and subconscious are more open… so we slow things down with guided integration.

This is a gentle, guided experience (not silent, not about clearing your mind) where I guide you through imagery and reflection, touching on themes like:

• self-love
• gratitude
• inner child healing
• forgiveness
• future-self confidence

We then leave space for stillness, integration, and simply being… no rushing, no fixing, just allowing your nervous system to land.

In Part 5, I’ll share why music is such an integral part of the experience

Inside Breathwork Series | Part 3: What the Breathing Actually Looks Like

After we’ve shaken off stress and connected with the body, we lie down and begin the breathwork.

We move through 4-5 rounds. Each round includes a sequence of breathing patterns and holds, all timed to music and supported with education and coaching - so you’re never left guessing.

Depending on the session theme, this may include:
• slow, deep belly breathing
• faster, more activating breath
• breath holds at the top or bottom
• buzz hum to stimulate the vagus nerve

Everything is guided
You’re always in choice
Listening to your body comes first

The studio offers mats, blankets, eye masks, and a limited number of bolsters.

Since we spend time lying down, please bring any extra pillows or supports you need - especially for neck, back, hip, or knee comfort.

A pillow for your head or under your knees can make a big difference.

Inside Breathwork Series | Part 2: Somatic Movement

Most of us live from the neck up - in our heads - all day long.

So before we even lie down to begin the breathwork, we start with somatic movement:

shaking, stomping, stretching, sighing.

This isn’t dancing. There’s no right or wrong.

It’s about tuning into felt sensation and honouring what your body needs to release.

The body already knows how to do this.
When it feels safer, the breath naturally deepens.

This movement helps peel back a layer… the layer of stress.

By moving the body, we help move stress and stress hormones (like cortisol and adrenaline) out of the system.

You see this innate wisdom in the animal kingdom.
Watch a dog after a stressful experience - they shake it off.

This is your opportunity to do the same.

This is how we prime the nervous system for breathwork.

Stay tuned for the next instalment of the Inside Breathwork Series, where I’ll walk you through what happens once the breathwork begins.

Inside Breathwork Series | Part 1: What is Breathwork, really?

Breathwork is a guided, intentional practice that works with your body, breath, brain, and nervous system… it’s not just calming your mind or taking a deep breath.

In my classes, we use movement, music, and specific breathing techniques to intentionally create sensation - then teach the body how to return to calm. It’s a full-body experience.

Think:
→ Less overthinking
→ More embodiment
→ Learning you can move through discomfort & come out regulated on the other side

This is why people leave feeling clearer, lighter, and more grounded… even if emotions come up along the way.

In the next reel, I’ll show you exactly what happens in a 75-minute class.

The decorations are still up, but the excitement has slowed.

That can leave space for fatigue, emotions, or that post-holiday heaviness to surface.

Nothing is wrong… this is just your body and nervous system catching up.

This is where rest, breath, and gentleness matter most.

Stay tuned! I’ll be sharing more about what actually happens in a breathwork class in the coming days… it might be exactly what you need!
