Frequently Asked Questions
Breathwork

  • Breathwork is a term that refers to various techniques that involve intentionally altering your breathing patterns. Breathwork can include various breathing exercises, such as slow, controlled breathing and fast, energetic breathing, and is often used as a stress-reduction technique. However, breathwork can also be used as a tool to enter deeper states of consciousness and facilitate emotional release. Breathwork, a practice rooted in ancient yoga traditions of pranayama or ‘breath regulation’, has been embraced by modern science as a powerful method for improving overall health and well-being. It helps increase mental clarity and emotional health, and can bring a deeply grounded feeling with inner peace. Try it for yourself and experience the many benefits of this ancient practice.

  • Learning how to breathe correctly can have a big impact on your overall health and well-being. Proper breathing can help release emotions, maintain a healthy body and mind, and enhance your spiritual connection. In fact, our breath is connected to so many different systems in the body, including the cardiovascular system, the immune system, and the nervous system.

    It can also bring a sense of peace and relaxation to the mind, as well as a feeling of freedom and liberation from thoughts. Through the practice of breathwork, many people find that they are able to tap into a deeper level of consciousness and connect with a sense of love and gratitude that brings them back to the practice again and again. This feeling of connection and awareness can be incredibly nourishing and enriching, and it's something that many people find truly transformative.

  • At keur, we offer a wide range of breathwork techniques that can range from fast and energizing to slow and relaxing. Our main method involves a 20-30 minute active and dynamic breathing meditation. We have been exploring the benefits of this particular healing modality for over a decade, and have seen firsthand the transformative power it can have. With continued practice, many people find that they develop a stronger connection to their purpose in life, feel a sense of energy and vitality and more at home in their body. It is hard to put into words the full impact of breathwork, but we invite you to come and try it for yourself and see the benefits firsthand.

  • To ensure that you get the most out of your class, we recommend that you avoid eating for 1-2 hours beforehand. Other than that, there's not much else you need to do to prepare – just come ready to relax and breathe!

  • The most important thing is that you feel safe where you are. If you don't feel confident or comfortable dealing with any difficulties that may arise, it's best not to do breathwork alone. Find someone who can hold space for you in this practice and offer support if you need it.
