What to Expect During the Workshops: Participants will engage in guided breathing exercises, rhythmic movements, and relaxation techniques designed to enhance well-being and mindfulness.
I understand that I am choosing to participate in a breathwork session, class, retreat, or experience (“Breathwork Session”) that may take place in person or online.
Breathwork may include guided breathing, conscious or altered breathing patterns, music, verbal prompts, emotional release, physical sensations, and changes in awareness. I understand that this is a self-directed practice, and that I am responsible for listening to my body and caring for myself during and after the session.
I understand that breathwork is not medical, psychological, or mental health treatment.
The facilitator is not diagnosing, treating, or curing any condition and is not acting as a licensed medical provider or therapist, unless stated otherwise in writing.
Breathwork does not replace professional medical or mental health care, and I am encouraged to consult a qualified healthcare provider if I have concerns.
I confirm that I do not have any condition that would make participation unsafe, including but not limited to:
Heart conditions or uncontrolled high blood pressure
History of stroke, aneurysm, seizures, or epilepsy
Severe asthma or respiratory conditions
Pregnancy
Glaucoma or retinal detachment
Recent surgery or serious injury
Severe psychiatric conditions (such as psychosis, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia)
If I do have any of the above, I understand that I am choosing to participate at my own risk.
I acknowledge that if I have any health concerns listed above, I have been advised to consult with a qualified healthcare provider before participating in breathwork if I have any medical, physical, or mental health concerns.
I confirm that I have either consulted with a healthcare provider and received clearance to participate, or I have chosen to participate without such consultation, and I accept full responsibility for that decision.
I confirm that I am not under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs, recreational drugs, or any substance that could impair my awareness or judgment at the time of participation.
I understand that participating while under the influence increases risk and may result in my removal from a session or retreat without refund, for safety reasons.
I understand that breathwork can involve physical, emotional, and psychological effects, including but not limited to:
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Tingling or muscle tension or spasms
Emotional release or discomfort
Changes in breathing, heart rate, or blood pressure
Fainting or loss of consciousness (rare)
