Blissful Breathwork · 1:1 with Kaja

Breathing practices have a long history. In the Indian yoga tradition, they are known as Pranayama. In the West, more intensive breathwork became known through approaches including Stanislav Grof’s Holotropic Breathwork and Leonard Orr’s Rebirthing.

In Conscious Connected Breathing, or CCB, the inhalation and exhalation are consciously connected. Body sensations, feelings and perception can change. Some people experience unusual or trance-like states of awareness.

More intensive breathing changes lung ventilation and can lead to hyperventilation. For this reason, I guide this breathwork personally and we clarify beforehand whether it suits your current situation. Experiences, thoughts and feelings may become more noticeable; what you experience is individual.

You do not need previous experience with Breathwork or meditation. We begin with an invitation to relaxed breathing. Then inhalation and exhalation are connected, without deliberately holding the breath between breaths. Depending on the session and your situation, I may guide more intensive breathing.

You can imagine your breath moving like a wave through your abdomen and chest. My voice accompanies you. Together, we attend to what you notice, and you can tell me what you need at any time.

Depending on the event, a group session lasts around two to three hours. An individual session lasts around two hours: an introductory conversation of ten to fifteen minutes, the breathing journey and a closing integration phase of around fifteen minutes.

You lie on a yoga mat and I guide and accompany you throughout. In this framework, the breathing journey itself usually lasts sixty to ninety minutes. Music, my voice and breathing guidance accompany you. Touch is used only when it feels right for you and you consent.

We begin with a welcome and introduction. Afterwards, if you wish, you can share aspects of your experience and return to your original question or intention. This voluntary sharing may help you make sense of physical, emotional and mental experiences.

In the following days, you can notice how you feel and what you wish to take into everyday life. You are welcome to contact me with questions.

Avoid a heavy meal in the two to three hours before the session if possible. Wear comfortable clothes, bring water and, if you wish, your own blanket for the resting phase.

You may bring a personal question or intention. You are welcome on a challenging day too; in our introductory conversation, we explore your current state and an appropriate framework.

Participation is for adults and is clarified individually beforehand. If you have health questions, please first speak with your treating doctor.

Under the conditions of this offering, participation is excluded in cases of serious illness, physical injury, pregnancy, epilepsy or the use of potent medication. Sufficient mental, emotional and physical stability is required. Breathwork does not replace medical or psychotherapeutic treatment.

More intensive breathwork can bring up distressing sensations and is not suitable for everyone.

In an individual session, I can give more attention to your personal questions and process. A group offers a different experience through shared participation and can be a first encounter with Breathwork.

In a 1:1 session, your questions and wishes are central. Together, we discuss whether a single session or a series of sessions fits you, depending on your questions, needs and current situation.
