BREATH & AWARENESS
Guided Breathwork
A conscious breathing practice led by a trained facilitator. Using deliberate breath patterns in a supported group setting, this session invites you to slow down, tune in and explore what becomes available when you simply breathe with intention.
What is Guided Breathwork?
Guided Breathwork is a facilitated practice in which participants are led through specific breathing techniques by a trained practitioner. Unlike the immersive, multi-sensory experience of 9D Breathwork, Guided Breathwork sessions are quieter and more accessible — suitable for those new to breathwork or those who prefer a gentler, more grounded approach.
The breath has long been recognised across many traditions as a direct bridge between the conscious and unconscious aspects of experience. Breathwork practices use this connection intentionally — by altering the rhythm, depth or pattern of breathing, it is possible to shift the state of the nervous system and create conditions for greater awareness, stillness or release.
Sessions at LifeForce Hub are led by Lindsay, who draws on a range of breathwork approaches depending on the group and the intention for the session. No prior experience is needed. You are always in control of your own breath and can adjust the intensity at any point.
What happens during a session?
01
Arrival & grounding
The session opens with a brief check-in and a grounding practice — often a few minutes of natural breathing and body awareness — to help you arrive fully before the breathwork begins.
02
Introduction to the technique
The facilitator introduces the breathing pattern for the session and explains what to expect. There is space to ask questions before you begin.
03
The breathwork practice
You follow the guided breathing pattern for the main part of the session. The facilitator holds the space throughout, offering gentle cues and adjustments as needed. Music may accompany the practice.
04
Integration & sharing
The session closes with a period of natural breathing and stillness. There is optional space to share observations or simply rest before leaving.
What might you explore?
Guided Breathwork is a versatile practice that people come to for many different reasons. Common areas of curiosity include:
- Learning to use the breath as a tool for self-regulation
- Exploring the relationship between breathing patterns and mental state
- Finding a gentle entry point into breathwork before trying more immersive formats
- Creating a moment of genuine stillness and presence
- Supporting recovery from a period of stress, busyness or overwhelm
Guided Breathwork is not a medical treatment. If you have cardiovascular conditions, epilepsy, severe anxiety disorders, are pregnant or have recently had surgery, please get in touch before attending.

How this connects to LifeForce
NOTICE
EXPERIENCE
PRACTISE
Guided Breathwork sits across all three dimensions of the LifeForce approach. It is a practice you can return to regularly (Practise), it creates direct, embodied experiences of altered awareness (Experience), and it builds the capacity to Notice what is happening in the body and nervous system in real time. For many people, it becomes a foundational tool — something they can use independently between sessions.
Join a session
Guided Breathwork sessions run regularly at LifeForce Hub. Group and one-to-one sessions available. All levels welcome.
