Conscious Breathwork

Description
Conscious Breathwork is a somatic healing practice that uses intentional, rhythmic breathing to support physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. By working directly with the breath, this practice can support nervous system regulation, access expanded states of awareness, release trauma stored in the body, and deepen emotional processing and self-connection.
In this two-hour group experience, we will begin with an overview of the breathwork practice and create space to ask questions, followed by about one hour of guided Conscious Breathwork. Participants will be invited to lie comfortably on their backs during the breathing portion. We will close with time for rest, reflection, and gentle integration of the experience.
To support your session, please bring a yoga mat or similar padding, a blanket, a pillow, an eye cover (like an eye mask or bandana), and water. There will also be props available to you at the studio, including bolsters and blankets. Comfortable clothing is encouraged. You may also wish to bring a journal for integration afterward. It is recommended to avoid heavy meals for 2 to 3 hours beforehand and avoid the consumption of alcohol or other substances prior to the session. Come as you are, relax, and trust the process.

About your teacher:
Steph Snyder (she/her) is a yoga teacher and conscious breathwork facilitator devoted to helping people return home to themselves through movement, breath, reflection, and connection. She recently completed a 10-month, 250+ hour Conscious Breathwork facilitator training grounded in trauma-informed care.

She knows firsthand the transformative power of embodied practice. Her own healing has been shaped by mindful movement, intentional connection to breath, time in nature, and the nourishment of community.
With over 15 years of experience in community-led design and storytelling, she creates spaces where people feel seen, supported, and safe to explore their inner knowing. Her facilitation is rooted in the belief that the body holds an innate wisdom that can guide us back to ourselves.
After spending much of her life in the Mountain West, Steph has called the Pacific Northwest home since 2021. Steph lives in present-day Vancouver, Washington, on the ancestral lands of the Chinook, Cowlitz, and Klickitat peoples, and is committed to honoring the lineages that have created, preserved, and shared the healing practices she now carries forward.
