Transformative Breathwork is a powerful healing modality and although usually a safe, deeply relaxing and enjoyable process, it can result in certain physiological changes in the body that produce a mild altered-state of consciousness with physical and/or emotional release. 

Everyone's experience is different and each person will get out of it exactly what they need on the day, so it is each participant’s responsibility to listen to their body and look after their own physical, emotional and mental wellbeing.

Be cognizant of your own capabilities and limits, both physical and mental, and act accordingly. If in doubt, always consult with your healthcare practitioner before taking part in a Transformational Breathwork session.
