Things to consider:
If you live with the following conditions, this experience may not be for you.
Cardiovascular issues
High blood pressure
Recent injury or surgery
Any condition requiring regular medication
Panic attacks
Psychosis and seizure disorders
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.

FAQ
Breathing in yoga is like the fuel that powers your practice - it keeps you going and helps you get the most out of each pose. It also helps you stay calm and focused, and can even enhance the physical benefits of the poses.
Yoga is like a chill pill for your mind and body. It activates the relaxation response, which helps lower stress and anxiety. Plus, the gentle stretching and deep breathing can help you unwind and let go of tension.
Yoga helps with mental focus and concentration like a superhero cape, giving you the power to stay on task and achieve your goals. It can help you learn to quiet the mind, reduce distractions, and increase mental clarity. Plus, it's a lot more comfortable than wearing a cape.
If you have an injury, think of yourself as a master chef adapting a recipe. You can modify yoga poses by using props like blocks or straps, or simply by adjusting your alignment. And remember, it's better to be safe than sorry – no one wants to end up with a yoga-induced injury that puts them out of commission for weeks.
The breath is like the DJ of your yoga practice - it sets the rhythm and keeps everything flowing smoothly. It helps you stay focused, calm, and connected to your body as you move through the poses.
