Through this experience you are invited to soften into a space of self love.
What is breathwork
People have been practicing breathwork for thousands of years, and it has roots in yoga practice. The basic idea of breathwork is to release toxins and stress when you breathe out and nourish your mind and body when you breathe in.
Breathwork may have a positive impact on your central nervous system. When you feel stressed, your breath tends to become fast and shallow. This limits the oxygen entering your bloodstream. Your brain tells your body that there is a threat, and your body responds in fight or flight.
When you take time to slow down and purposefully breathe deeply and slowly, you tell your brain that everything is OK. Your brain communicates to your body that it’s safe to relax. The fight or flight response decreases, and your body can begin to function normally again.

What people said about Samantha’s breathwork journey
“I attended a breathwork session at Koukoulee with Samantha. I was amazed about the powerful effect the instructed breathwork exercise had on all of us in the room. There were tears of joy and sadness, insightful revelations and other expressions of emotion - all beautifully held by Samantha. This session was so much more than an inhale and an exhale!”
