BREATHE IN PARIS
Le Centre Élément
“Breathwork to Stop Procrastinating”
In-person - In French - All levels welcome!
I am so happy to see you at the Element Centre for another Breathe in Paris workshop. I love this place which is renowned for its holistic and energetic approach to healing the body, mind and soul. It was the first to open its doors to Breathe in Paris in October 2018.
THE WORKSHOP
During the first half of this 3-hour session, I will connect you to your breath while introducing the “theme of the day” and the four pillars of Breathe in Paris : meditation, Reiki, coaching and Breathwork. With humor and scientific facts, I will explain the Breathwork technique, what you can expect, and why it's so important to breathe correctly. The second half will be spent lying on your back with a mask covering your eyes (bring your own or buy one from me!) as I guide you through the Breathwork session based on the theme. This is when the volume of the music increases and the energy moves around the room. A single session is sometimes enough to create a significant change as Breathwork helps reduce anxiety and stress, better manage emotions, improve the digestive system and physical performance. Breathwork is purely experiential and no two sessions are alike. Be prepared to step out of your comfort zone and you just may emerge transformed. Please note that this class is for beginners and experts, but Breathwork is not recommended for certain people, see below.
THE THEME : “BREATHWORK TO STOP PROCRASTINATING”
"The secret to getting ahead is getting started." — Mark Twain
We all have things we’ve been meaning to start, decisions we’ve been putting off, ideas we keep coming back to—but for some reason, we don’t take that first step. Maybe we’re waiting for the right time, for motivation, or for everything to feel just right. But how often does that actually happen? Procrastination isn’t about being lazy. It’s about overthinking, perfectionism, fear of failure, or simply not knowing where to begin. And the longer we wait, the heavier it feels. But getting started doesn’t have to feel hard. Sometimes, all it takes is a shift in energy—a breath, a reset, a moment of clarity. In this session, we’ll gather the energy to take action, without overthinking it. Through Meditation, Reiki, Journaling, and Breathwork, I’ll guide you to clear the mental fog, release what’s keeping you stuck, and tap into that part of you that’s ready to move forward. No pressure. No forcing.

Please try not to drink too many liquids before the session so that you won’t need to be taking toilet breaks during class. Please go pee ahead of time.
Beginners and experts are welcome.
Please arrive early, and don't have any commitments immediately after the session (sometimes I go over schedule, especially if you want to stay and chat).
THIS PRACTICE IS NOT ADVISED FOR CERTAIN PEOPLE
It is important to know that Breathwork is not relaxation, but a physical, mental and emotional challenge. Please note that if you have history of cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, retinal detachment, severe mental illness, seizures, advanced osteoporosis, recent major physical injury or surgery, asthma (bring your inhaler) or if you are pregnant that could be exacerbated by these intense breathing practices.
