Breath Session in Utrecht — 90 minutes of Conscious Connected Breath
A breath session at The Breathwork Shop isn't a quick exercise to 'calm down'. It's 90 minutes in which active, connected breathing carries you deep into your body — past the thinking layer, past the story. What remains is what your body has to say. We work at Kanaalweg 84 in Utrecht, in a quiet studio where breath, body and silence all find room.
How a breath session unfolds
A session lasts 90 to 120 minutes with a clear arc:
• Arriving (10 min) — a cup of tea, short check-in. What's alive today? Where do you feel it in your body?
• Finding focus (15 min) — through Focusing and timeline work we find the doorway for today. Not via the story, but via the physical sensation.
• Active breathing (40-50 min) — connected breathing without pause, supported by music. I guide you continuously and help you stay in contact with what's happening in your body.
• Integration (20 min) — deep rest, silence, sometimes a short body scan. This is where what moved settles.
• Closing (10 min) — a few words to anchor the experience. No analysis, just space.
What it does to your nervous system
Conscious Connected Breath works directly on your autonomic nervous system. By breathing more fully and without pause, oxygen and CO₂ levels in your blood shift. The thinking sympathetic layer moves to the background and the vagus nerve gets space. The body enters a state in which old tension, held emotions and patterns can literally release — often in places you didn't consciously expect (jaw, chest, diaphragm, pelvis).
Most people experience tingling, warmth, emotion or deep stillness during or after a session. No two experiences are alike, and your body does exactly what it can hold in that moment.
Who is a breath session for?
A breath session in Utrecht is for you if you:
• Feel stuck in stress, overthinking or an 'on' mode that won't switch off
• Are working with unprocessed trauma or old emotions you couldn't reach through talking
• Recognise symptoms of burn-out, exhaustion or chronic tension
• Are looking for a deeper connection with your body, feeling and intuition
• Want to experience what connected breathing does, apart from the story in your head
For certain medical conditions (pregnancy, serious cardiovascular conditions, epilepsy, psychosis) there are contraindications — see the FAQ below. For (complex) trauma or panic we always work 1-on-1.
