HOP private breathwork

Breathe yourself into wholeness. Allow each breath to guide you towards a sense of liberation and acceptance. Embrace this journey of self-discovery and transformation through the art of breathwork.

Welcome to our breathwork session!

We start slow with connective breathing to help you connect more deeply with your body, to ground and to relax. This sets the stage for the next phase, where we engage in deep and faster breathing to boost your energy and to temporarily hyperventilate, which switches of your thinking mind (prefrontal cortex), what gives you access to deeper, more primitive parts of your brain. This facilitates the release of long-held traumas.

Come along on this journey to explore the power of your breath!

1 hour breathwork - €80 2 hour breathwork - €110 My recommendation is 2 hours - it gives more opportunities to go deeper, but in a busy world 1 hour can be great too. This is the time of breathwork only, we will also do a short warmup exercise to ground and land into the body, total workshop duration +30min with the breathwork time.

Or let's go a bit deeper into the trauma informed breathwork method

Stanislav Grof Has discovered the great potential of LSD to help aid trauma related therapy.
After the ban of LSD he has found, that we can access very similar states of mind with hyperventilation over extended periods of time, thus he has discovered “holotropic breathwork”

Why do we get sick in the first place? Or why do feel not whole, or a bit empty inside?
Very likely it’s because shakti (life force energy) cannot flow freely in our systems because of our traumas.
Why do we have traumas? and what are they?
Trauma and a traumatic event are not the same things. Let’s talk about what is a traumatic event first with an example.

For example, if a small girl gets hurt by her father, she will start releasing this hurt out of her system instantly, in a form of anger or crying, or more dramatic forms of release. Her body in a sense would take over until process is finished, and she would resume in the normal state of mind, the hurt caused by the parent would have been out of the system and it would not cause any more further problems.
Now let’s take the same example and the parent hurts the child, and when the she starts to cry, he shouts her.. She gets scared.. Which makes it not safe for her system to go through the natural release process.. So she “swallows” the process. - This is trauma.

Perhaps you remember having this heavy ball feeling in your throat when you were a child - that is the feeling of not having the safe space to release whatever needs to be released. The same is for the heavy feeling in the belly, a deep void, or a heavy ball.. All are symptoms of your body telling you that there is “processing work” undone.

If we have too much trauma, or too severe, dissociation might happen, its a natural process of the body to protect itself. Most people are dissociated more or less. And it’s okay, but that also means that there is some work to be done. And one of the best ways is breathwork. It’s safe, it does not require any substances, only: you, the breath, and the music. I will be there to guide, encourage, and to keep you safe, so that your body can let go and go into the process of releasing and becoming whole.

Very often the body needs a lot of time to feel safe enough and energised enough to go through the natural release process. That’s why I recommend the 2 hour breathwork session, but 1 hour session can be also as powerful.

Why does breathwork work?The natural state of formerly mentioned shakti (life force energy) is to flow. In an untraumatized person the energy just flows. But for rest of us (most people) the energy cannot flow freely because it gets stuck in areas of our body where traumas have formed “energetical knots”. This gives us the feeling that something is missing and that we are not whole.

Shakti’s nature is to flow, but our minds have formed defence mechanisms around our traumas, since it was not safe to release the traumatic events. During breathwork, after some time our prefrontal cortex temporarily shuts down, so our defence systems, which give shakti finally the chance to flow through our traumas, which will make our bodies to go through the natural release process that we didn’t feel safe enough to go through in the past.

In a way, the only thing that you have to do is to breathe and to get out of the way - shakti and your body will do the rest.
