Breathwork
Benefits of breathwork
Breathwork is a form of active meditation which uses intentional breathing practices to alter your mood or mindstate. The goal of breathwork is to impact the autonomic nervous system by modifying either the amount of oxygen we inhale, or the amount of carbon dioxide we exhale. Breathwork can be used to change how we feel physically and mentally, and to tap into trauma held deeply in our tissue by releasing the imprint and changing our perception of our experiences.

Breathwork
is a Journey
Everyone, regardless of athletic ability or age, has the power to breathe deeper. With every intentional breath, you increase your capacity for clarity, control, and emotional and physical regulation. Over time, you’ll not only decrease blood pressure and promote overall health, you’ll also give yourself more control over your emotions, moods, focus, and productivity.

Time at Awarehouse is aligned with how I want to use my energy.
The space + offerings attract in like- minded people which facilitates easeful genuine connections. The breathwork practitioners are warm and knowledgeable; whether I want to decompress, activate energy centers, or just get back to baseline the practice consistently delivers. Being able to use the infrared sauna for detoxification and regeneration feels like a luxury. Following that up with a cold plunge to invigorate my body raises my energy. I always leave feeling better physically, mentally, and emotionally than when I arrived.

I did a private breathwork session with Tanya and felt a significant shift.
She created a beautiful space that was intentional, grounding, and safe. I could feel that stagnant energy was physically moved in her 3-part breath session and I gained deeper insight into what I'm calling in during the future visioning portion. Following a focused breathing session I recalibrated to my body/energy in the sauna and cold plunge which left me feeling very clear and uplifted. I'm really looking forward to deepening my breathwork practice and feeling grateful for the team at Awarehouse for the space they've created. It's truly unique.
