Breathwork is meditative practice that uses a 3-part breathing pattern to clear the mind, strengthen the connection between the mind and body, release tension, loosen the grip of anxiety and trauma in the body by tapping into the body’s rest and digest (parasympathetic) mode of the nervous system.

This practice is for those who are looking for a safe space to develop their practice in the community. We recommend that participants be at least 18 years old to participate in an Exhale Hour. The particular guided breathwork practice in Exhale Hour is not recommended for children. The breathing pattern and length are both too long and too activating for a child’s nervous system. Breathwork is wonderful for children but this hour long guided session would not be suitable.

You can practice breathwork every day if you like: it is a totally safe practice.  Breathwork can help your body get back into a rest-and-digest state, which often leads to a feeling of calmness.

We always recommend contacting your medical professional if you have any concerns around trying a new routine.  Please take note that if you have any of the following, we recommend only participating in breathwork under the guidance or approval of your doctor.

An active addiction
Any person with mental illness who isn’t in treatment or lacks adequate support
Anyone experiencing an emotional or spiritual crisis
Bipolar depression
Cardiovascular problems
Epilepsy or history of seizures
Glaucoma or high or abnormal blood pressure
History of aneurysms
On a heavy medication regimen
Osteoporosis

Exhale Hour is a 60-minute guided breathwork experience that takes place live on zoom with the community.

Exhale Hour is designed to provide a pause in your day. A pause to support your health, wellbeing, and nervous system so that you can go through your days feeling clear, calm, and centered. All levels are welcome! Kiesha will guide you every step of the way.

The daily practices available in the Lindywell app are your best resource for 3-20 minute on-demand sessions for calm, mental clarity,  sleep, stress-reduction, energy, and performance.

Use both together for the best results and a consistent practice or pick which one is best for you in this season. 

Once you book your session(s) you will receive an email confirmation. Prior to the live session, you will be emailed access to your zoom link along with how to prepare for your session. 

Here’s what you can expect from Exhale Hour:

• A LIVE, guided session via Zoom (with the option to turn off your camera)
• Expert guidance on how to use intentional breathing techniques to promote physical and emotional well-being
• Dedicated time for rest and reflection at the end of the session to help you process your experience and carry the benefits with you throughout the day

You can simply show up to your Exhale Hour and experience amazing results.  If you like to be extra prepared you may want to consider gathering a journal and pen to jot down any thoughts or emotions that come up and plan to attend the session from a comfortable place, such as a bed, mat or cozy chair with a pillow.

You may also want to consider: 

• Not eating two hours prior to starting if possible
• Wearing comfortable clothes
• Finding a quiet spot where you won’t be easily interrupted
• Having a glass a water nearby for hydration
