The Power of Breath

Breathwork is more than a breathing technique—it’s a doorway to emotional release, physical relaxation, and deep self-awareness.

At Total Health Retreats, we guide you through a safe, and supported practice designed to help you:

    •   Release stored tension, trauma & emotional blocks

    •   Calm your nervous system & restore balance

    •   Reconnect with your body’s natural intelligence

 

Whether this is your first experience or you’ve practiced breathwork before, each session offers a gentle yet profound path to feeling present, alive, and at ease in your body.

Why Breathwork Matters

Many of us carry unprocessed stress and emotion within our body. Over time, these can manifest as fatigue, anxiety, chronic tension, physical pain, digestive issues or emotional overwhelm.

Because traditional, thinking-based approaches often can’t access these deeper layers, breathwork offers a way to go beyond the mind and connect directly with the body’s innate wisdom.

Through continuous conscious breathing, trapped energy, memories, and emotions can safely move and release—creating space for healing, clarity, and transformation.

How Breathwork Works

Many people unconsciously hold or restrict their breath in response to stress or past experiences. Over time, this creates tension, emotional blocks, and habitual stress responses.

 

Guided, conscious breathing helps release these patterns. As you breathe fully, emotions and sensations may surface—allowing you to:

    •   Let go of old tension and resistance

    •   Gain insight into limiting beliefs or patterns

    •   Reconnect with your body’s natural intelligence

 

Every session unfolds in a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment—so you can explore, release, and integrate at your own pace.

Types of Breathwork Sessions

Whether you're seeking emotional relief, physical renewal, or energetic balance, both of these type of sessions offer a powerful and deeply individual pathway to transformation.

Group Breathwork

A Collective Journey Inward

Experience breathwork in a supportive group setting. You’ll relax on your own mat while a trained facilitator guides the whole group through simple, intentional breathing techniques that help release tension, calm the mind, and open space for emotional or energetic shifts.

What to Expect

  • A shared yet personal experience

  • Gentle guidance in a safe, supportive environment

  • Optional sharing at the end

Ideal for: Emotional exploration, connection, and gentle integration.

The group setting creates a shared energy that can deepen your experience, while still giving you the freedom to move through the journey at your own pace. Sessions end with time to settle, regroup and with an optional space for reflection.

 

 


Experience healing within a supportive, communal setting. Each participant rests comfortably on their own mat while a trained facilitator gently guides the group through intentional breathing techniques—designed to release tension, awaken the nervous system, and invite deep emotional and energetic shifts.

    •   Shared yet private experience

    •   Guided, safe, and optional reflection at the end

    •   Ideal for: Emotional exploration, shared energy, and gentle integration

Guided exercises help release tension, awaken your nervous system, and create deep emotional shifts. While each journey is personal, the shared energy amplifies the experience.

Though every journey is uniquely personal, the collective environment creates a shared energetic field that can amplify the experience. Facilitation is present but less hands-on than in individual sessions, allowing each person to navigate their process with autonomy, presence, and trust.

As the session closes, participants are gently guided back into the space. For those who feel called, there is an optional opportunity to share insights or reflections—a powerful step in integration, connection, and community healing.

Individual Breathwork

Personalized Healing

A private, one-on-one session tailored to your personal needs. Each session begins with a gentle meridian massage to calm your system, followed by guided breathwork, somatic awareness, and time for grounding.

What to Expect

  • Personalized guidance and coaching

    • Support for nervous system regulation and emotional release

    • Space for integration and reflection

    Ideal for: Trauma support, deep personal insight, and physical or emotional reset.

    This fully customized journey helps you tune into your body’s signals and safely release stored tension or emotion. Sessions close with grounding and clarity-building integration, helping you return to your day feeling centered, renewed, and connected.

    What To Expect

    Every Experience Is Unique

    You may feel:

        •   Physical sensations like tingling or warmth

        •   Emotional release such as crying, laughter, or relief

        •   Mental clarity, insight, or a fresh perspective

        •   Deep relaxation or a sense of lightness

    Even if your experience is subtle, your body is still benefiting from the calming, restorative effects of conscious breath.

    All breathwork sessions at Total Health Retreat are trauma-informed. Nothing is forced. You are always in control, moving at your own pace in a supportive, respectful environment.
