In a world that constantly pulls us into our minds, Soma IQ® Breathwork offers a pathway back into the innate intelligence of the body.
This somatic-based breathwork journey is designed to help release held tension and suppressed stress, while gently supporting the nervous system in finding greater balance, clarity, and emotional freedom.
Come experience a nervous system reset for yourself.
IMPORTANT PREPARATION BEFORE THE JOURNEY
Please arrive no later than 9:50am, so that we can begin promptly.
Please do not eat 90 minutes to 2 hours before our session.
Please refrain from drinking excessive amounts of liquid right before the Journey.
Please dress comfortably.
Things to Bring
Water Bottle
Journal
Eye Mask if you have one.
Favorite pillow or blanket if desired.
Small Snack if desired.
Mats, blankets and bolsters are available.
IMPORTANT AFTERCARE: We will be working in an expanded nervous system state during the Journey. This means that there is an integration period to be expected, and the somatic processing could continue after the Journey (no need to fear this natural movement from expansion to condensing). For this reason, we do not recommend having anything intense or charged (or anything at all, if possible!) planned after the session. It is optimal to have time to ground, digest, integrate, and be with your own energy post experience, if possible.
