Frequently asked questions
What people ask me before a first session.
What is a private breathwork session like?
Four stages. Introduction: a moment to get acquainted and set down what brings you here and what weighs on you. Warm-up: movement, heart coherence, Qi Gong, pranayamas. Guided breathing: sharing and practice of conscious connected breathing techniques. Return to normal: we come back gently to our natural state, then talk through the experience. All of it set to music, with playlists I put together myself over the sessions.
Do I need to have practiced before?
Everyone is welcome. I adapt to your level, whether you are discovering breathwork or have practiced it for a long time.
Which breathing technique do you use?
I practice conscious connected breathing. The inhale is active, through the mouth, the exhale is passive, and the two follow each other without a pause. I set the rhythm with you throughout the session. It is gentler than rebirthing and holotropic breathwork, and it goes just as far.
Does breathwork heal anything?
Yes, it heals, and its benefits are real. Slow, conscious breathing calms the nervous system: stress goes down and sleep deepens. The body lets go of its tension. The people I guide talk about lightness and clarity when they leave a session, and studies on slow breathing point the same way. It is a wellness practice: it goes alongside your medical care, and diagnosis remains the doctors' business. Talk to your doctor before practicing if you are pregnant, take medication for the heart or blood pressure, or live with epilepsy, glaucoma, poorly controlled asthma or a recent operation.
Where and when do the sessions take place?
At the studio, 58 boulevard Bompard, Marseille 7th district. Private sessions are booked online, and the breathwork group meets every Saturday at 10 am.
