You’ll hear the word energetics often in many classes. It’s an underlying emotion, feeling, expression that can often be exposed, as well and shape-shifted, through breath and movement. For example: Child’s pose in yoga can invoke the energetics of peace, safety, introspection. Another example: Standing up but very slumped can express the energetics of lethargy, insecurity, inertia, yet standing tall and strong can ignite energetic feelings of pride, energy, alertness. Once you begin to understand energetics, movement and breathwork become far more profound and personal. We are all made up of energy, it can’t be lost or given away but it can always be changed.

This section is a little more fiery and wild so its advisable to also work smart when doing large, expressive, dynamic moves. Take care of your body, don’t push through anything, don’t work into pain and always, always take care of any injuries or tensions you currently have.

The practice of conscious, connected, rhythmic breathing to release blocked emotions, tensions and feelings, liberating us to our full potential, body, mind and heart. It’s one of the most potent, powerful and immediate ways to access your body’s innate ability to heal itself, remove toxins, aid digestion, sleep, stress... see Breathwork for even more.

It is said how we breathe is how we live, breath (much like this platform) is one of our medicines and remedies to living life to our fullest.

You’ll find a variety of breathwork patterns on The Library, to meet your needs. Dan Brule author of Just Breath explains why perfectly -

“Every psychological state, every emotional state, every physiological state has a corresponding or associated breathing pattern. The way we breathe when we are peaceful and calm is different than the way we breathe when we are angry and upset.’’

Every session will feel different and you will experience only what you need in that moment, surrender and trust that your breath will hold you and you are safe. Generally, a Breathwork will bring up what you are currently dealing and moving through and only what you need to feel and heal now.

We may have some breathwork experiences that feel very physical: tingling in the hands, feet and lips are common. Full body buzzing, tremors, shivers and shakes are possible as well as a feeling of weightlessness or hot then cold. Other experiences may be more emotional - feelings may come up as tears or laughter. At times our experience may be rich with visuals, creative inspiration and clarity, and other times, deeply restful, peaceful and calm, at one with the universe and HOME.

Let’s start with the Physiological Explanation of Tetany:

Tingling or cramping up of the hands, also known as tetany, is both temporary and common in breathwork. Breathwork shifts the balance between the body’s carbon dioxide and oxygen levels, prompting changes in our physiology. When we exhale, we release CO2. By breathing deeper and faster, as we do in breathwork, our CO2 levels lower; this results in less oxygen being released into the bloodstream, tissues, and vital organs, which makes the blood pH more alkaline. Lower levels of CO2 coupled with an increase in blood pH levels is what produces tetany. While tetany can be physically intense, it’s very safe and the physical symptoms dissipate after the breathwork session.
