Pregnancy + Breathwork .. Is it safe?
“What an experience! I connected with my unborn baby in such a magical way.”
Breathing is safe, what’s usually most dangerous, is the mind and the inner talk that goes on. The Breathwork can be a beautiful experience to begin building a deeper connection with the angel inside.
When it comes Pregnancy, every case is different. Safety is always the number one priority, and therefore your doctor must be consulted prior to joining, and a waiver is signed explaining everything in more details.
The Shamanic Breathwork is a powerful and an intense physical breathing exercise. So, we advise the mother not to breathe in any kind of forced manner, we recommend a slower pace.
Key questions to be aware of include:
- Do you have any health issues in general, health issues with the pregnancy, or pre-existing medical conditions?
- Do you have prior experience with this type of Breathwork or any other types of deep breathing?
- Which week / month of the pregnancy is it?
Women who have previously joined our Breathwork sessions were 3 months and 7 months into their pregnancy. Some had previous experience with yoga & breathwork, while others, it was their first time. The experiences shares were all positive and wonderful. We advise not to breathe in the first few months as it is considered high risk.
Although we try our best to ensure the best container is set up, with minimal bodywork, and a smooth ceremonial experience for the pregnant women who do decide to join, we cannot guarantee the safety of the mother nor the child. Facilitating the Breathwork Online is not advisable as there is no one to guide you nor be there for support.
If you decide to join after reading a bit more, and consulting with your doctor, then all you need is to have a special set up with pillows, bolsters and a blanket. Set the intention for the session, to connect with the baby, and for inner peace. We recommend breathing in a slower pace and keep the breaths deep but gentle. Simply relax into each NAFAS and allow your 2 spirits to connect.
