Class description:
The SOMA Breath Energized Meditation Routine is a 1-hour long workshop combining movement, chanting and breathwork all guided with uplifting, music. It is designed to help participants become very efficient at using oxygen, and to build a tolerance to carbon dioxide.
Energized Meditation helps people to slow down their breathing to less than 10 breaths per minute, and encourages people to breathe through their nose more. The Energized Meditation Routine is designed to release tension from the body, boost your mood, and be a super-effective breathwork meditation.
Benefits of Energized Meditation include:
- Improvement in CO2 tolerance and nitric oxide production.
- Improved oxygenation of tissue cells.
- Reduced tension.
- Oxygen efficiency.
- Improved cardiovascular health.
- Better concentration and meditation.
- Stimulates both hemispheres of the brain.
- Stimulates neurogenesis and ‘brain change’.

Hello!!
I am so excited for this. Some things you will need to know before we start..
Wear comfortable clothes. Yoga style clothing is perfect. All breathwork techniques should be done on an empty stomach, hydrate with water before and after the session.
Do not participate in the breathing meditation while driving a car or in water.
Participants can sit or lie down. Lying down is safer if someone thinks they may become light-headed, dizzy, or lose consciousness. Have a yoga mat, blanket and/or pillow to make yourself as comfortable as possible.
Participants should use the restrooms beforehand to ensure your comfort.
