• If you’re newer to breathwork: your hands, feet, and face may “lock up”. It’s called Tetany. It’s completely safe and will dissipate shortly after you breathe normally. You will not be stuck like this. Please expect this!

• Parts of your may tingle and buzz.

• You may get hot or cold.

• Your mouth will get dry. Your jaw may get tight.

• This is all totally normal. Everything goes away shortly after you breathe normally.

• You may get emotional, you may not. Every session is different. Give yourself permission to cry. Don’t judge yourself.

• If anything does come up, let it out — that’s what it’s for! Clear out those stuck emotions.

• Your brain will try to trick you by giving you tasks and things to do. All you have to do is breathe.

• The breathing is simple, don’t overthink it.

• All through the mouth…

• Breathe into your belly…

• Then breathe into your chest…

• Relax it out.

• Note: If you’re new to breathwork, don’t push out your exhales — that will cramp your hands up more. Just relax your exhales out softly.

• Lay flat in a comfortable area.

• For best airflow, avoid using pillow under your head, unless necessary.

• Wear an eye-mask if you have one, otherwise just close your eyes.

• You may be yelling (into an arm or pillow), so you may want to give household members a heads up.

• Take your time after. Don’t swim or pilot a vehicle until you’re completely grounded.
