Breathwork

I facilitate therapeutic breathwork sessions that allow participants to tap into the wisdom of their bodies - to release, retune, and reset. This practice helps us show up to the world as all of who we are (no matter what it throws at us). I believe that when we invest in our own healing, we are better able to respond rather than react to situations and conversations from our own defenses and trauma.

Breathwork can support us in building a world that cares for us all.

“Breathe deeply until sweet air extinguishes the burn of fear in your lungs and every breath is a refusal to become anything less than infinite.”

— D. Antionette Foy

What is Breathwork?

Breathwork is simply the practice of bringing conscious awareness to our breath. In fact, the act of simply noticing our breath is breathwork.

While breathwork can take many forms, different styles are used to create different results. We can use the breath to re-regulate our nervous system, to soothe ourselves, to boost our energy, to process through trauma and stuck energy and emotions, or even to tap into altered states of consciousness.

It is a powerful tool to tap into the innate wisdom of our bodies.

Why Breathwork?

Rev. angel Kyodo Williams writes, “Love is space. It is developing the capacity. It is developing own capacity for spaciousness within ourselves for others to be as they are.” I orient my breathwork practice towards creating that space.

And here is a bit about my story with it: For as long as I can remember I’ve experienced chronic anxiety and self-doubt. Breathwork teaches me how to actively re-regulate my nervous system and to find grounding in my body. It has allowed me to process and heal through stuck emotions and experiences stored in tissues. It offers me space to re-wire my brain out of the "not enoughness" it was trained into. Now, as a trained facilitator, I’m passionate about connecting others to their inherent worthiness and brilliant through the breath.

Virtual Offerings:

Breathing into Infinitude: Breathwork and Writing

Tuesdays at 8pm ET/5pm PT (on Zoom)

Register

This class focuses on the power of breath and language in cultivating embodied transformation. It blends a grounding meditation, poetic offerings, the three-part breath, reflective journaling, and community building.

The active, three-part breath is a circular breath pattern that invites space for us to let go and release control of the body through conscious connected breaths. This breath invites us to explore our physical and emotional state of being in a held environment, in order to create space to live into our most liberated selves.

To Prepare:

Bring a fresh piece of paper and your most sentimental pen. Have a comfortable space to lie down.
Bring your curious spirit and your coziest set-up (candle, tea, blanket, water, eye mask etc.)
Bring your glorious self.
Note: Breathwork is best not to eat a large meal within 90 minutes of this style of breathing.

I am deeply committed to your safety and providing a generative experience for you as a participant. The style of breathing we will work with during this class is not recommended for those living with epilepsy or serious cardiovascular disease, those who have experienced a stroke or brain aneurysm, or those who are pregnant.

Exchange:

Classes are available via On Zoom for a sliding scale cost of $10-30.

This scale is offered in recognition that in an inequitable society dollars hold different values for different people, depending on economic status. I offer this sliding scale as a way of holding an ecosystem of community care. I've set a base value of $20 per participant to honor my time and energy and the value of this container. I invite those who are financially and systemically resourced to pay above cost, and those who have limited access to financial resources to allow themselves to be supported.

What Participants are Saying:

“Skye teaches breathwork in a way that feels safe, supportive and comforting. From the moment the class begins you feel seen and heard, which is important in a breathwork session. There is ample instruction and guidance throughout and you can tell Skye puts a lot of time and thought into curating a class. It’s really nice to be led on a journey with clear direction and support and at no point did I feel unsure of what was happening. As a breathwork teacher, I think it’s so important to create a feeling of safety, so participants are able to dive deeper into their practice. I highly recommend joining one of Skye’s offerings!”

— Campbell Will - Breathwork Teacher, Phisiotherapist

“This was a lovely anchor for my week. Beforehand, I was worried that I’d get bored or restless doing breathwork for that long, but I found it so grounding and the time flew by. Skye has such a dreamy, calm, bright energy throughout. Highly recommend! ”

— Grace Patterson - Organizer and Facilitator
