Breathwork Class

Breathwork at TLC is a quarterly, trauma-informed session designed to introduce you to the transformative power of Conscious Connected Breathwork. By utilizing a continuous, rhythmic breathing pattern, we bypass the analytical mind to release stored tension in the body, quiet the "monkey mind," and improve your nervous system’s natural resilience.

Whether you are a beginner or looking to deepen your emotional awareness, this guided journey offers a safe path to balance your nervous system, and reconnect with your body’s innate wisdom.

What to Expect

• Active rhythmic breathing to help clear stored stress and physical tension
• Safe physical sensations like tingling or buzzing and temperature changes as your body processes energy
• Freedom of expression to move, stretch, or make sound in a supportive space
• A trauma-informed container where you are always in control of your breath
• Expert guidance from Mel, using a curated playlist to support your journey

No prior breathwork experience is required.

What to Bring

• A yoga mat and a blanket (body temperature often drops during the active breath)
• A comfy eye mask (disposables will be provided) and lip balm.

How to Prepare

• Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows your abdomen to move freely.
• Eat lightly. A light snack a few hours prior is perfect. Avoid arriving on a very full or very empty stomach.

How This Fits Into Your Care

The practices shared are meant to support regulation and resilience over time. This class is offered as a supportive complement to therapy, mindfulness, and other body-based approaches or as an individual wellness practice.
