How to Set Up Your Space for The Breathwork Class
NOTE: If it’s your first time doing a Live Online Breathwork Class, don’t wait until the time the class is scheduled to read these instructions. If you do, you’ll be late and miss important information you need to do the breathing technique correctly.
- Download the Zoom app to your computer or device if you don’t already have it installed. Sign into the class at least 15 minutes early (don’t wait until the last minute- you may have technical difficulties or experience trouble logging on).
- Set up your computer so that it’s next to your space. Headphones are ideal if you’re solo. If you’re doing it with other people, I suggest connecting to external speakers if you have them. For the best experience please make sure that you are in a room with the best Internet connection speeds (close to your WiFi router).
- If this is your first time doing Breathwork, I suggest setting up the computer so I can see you from the waist up when you’re lying down. Have the light on in the room so I can see if you’re doing the breathing technique correctly. You can turn the camera off if you feel more comfortable. Also, if your internet connection is bad, turning the camera off may help.
- Write your name and your location in your Zoom box. It’s inspiring to connect and do this with people all over the planet.
- Set up a yoga mat, blanket or whatever you want to lay on. I’ve done it on planes, beaches, and hotel room floors, so anything works. Don’t make excuses.
- An eye mask, eye pillow, or facecloth to cover your eyes is really helpful for a lot of people to help let go.
- It’s ideal to do Breathwork when your stomach is not too full, so I suggest not eating anything at least two hours prior to the session if possible. It still works if you’ve eaten, it’s just best not to have giant cheeseburger right before.
- Show up fully for the session. Just because you’re at home doesn’t mean you can be lazy.
