***It is Not Safe to Practice Breathwork with the Following Conditions:

Health conditions that can be compatible with practicing Breathwork safely, but advisable to discuss them with your facilitator beforehand:

» Pregnancy: safe if using a slow, gentle nose inhalation breath*
» Mild Asthma: Bring your inhaler    

» Controlled Blood Pressure

» Controlled Thyroid Condition        

» Diabetes: Bring your glucose    

» Recent Surgery: Depends on the severity of the surgery and healing process

*More on Pregnancy: Gentle Breathwork (slow pace and parasympathetic nose inhale) for women who are pregnant are completely safe and recommended. Intense mouth-inhale and fast pace Breathwork should be avoided. It’s physically “safe” for the body during this time, but the emotional transition to the baby, and the overall emotional response may be overwhelming.
