How to prepare:
wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely. It is
completely acceptable to wear pajama-type clothes for your breathwork
sessions. Most likely you will want socks for the breathwork sessions
A warm sweater, wrap, or blanket to wrap around yourself
Blankets, Mats, Pillows
You will be laying on the floor for more than one hours, so you are encouraged to
bring as many blankets, sleeping bags, thick mats so that you are as comfortable as possible. You will basically be creating a nice padded nest for yourself. It’s better to over-prepare than under prepare in this case. You don’t want to be preoccupied with a sore back or discomfort. In addition to blankets, you will want to bring a couple of pillows as well and a bolster if you have one.
Eyeshades/Masks/Scarfs – something that can serve as a blindfold during your
breathing session. You will want something that is secure around your eyes, so
an eye pillow would not suffice.
If you are sensitive to loud music, you may want to bring earplugs just in case.
