BREATHE IN PARIS
with L’Usine Saint-Lazare
“The Magic of Breathwork”
In-person - In French - All levels welcome!
Learn more about the power of your breath and discover the magic of Breathwork at L’Usine Saint-Lazare, in the heart of Paris. Whether you’re a member of L’Usine or not, whether you’ve ever taken Breathwork in your life, everyone is welcome! Before the session even non-members can take advantage of the fitness center and the spa (see below).
DO YOU KNOW THE POWER OF THE BREATH?
Most of us aren’t taking the full, deep breaths we’re capable of. We’re not using our lungs to their full capacity. Without enough oxygen, we’re at risk of issues like fatigue, anxiety, dis-ease, health complications, and even stress on our hearts. These issues, which are most often based on fears, are like negative energetic blocks, walls and barriers that are holding us back from stepping into our full potential. That’s where Breathwork comes in.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN THIS SESSION :
Breathwork is a powerful process of exploration, healing and personal growth. It can lead to an intense physical and emotional release. Be aware that old traumas or pent-up feelings may come to surface, and it’s not always comfortable. This is part of the healing process. My intention with Breathe in Paris is to create a safe space where you can learn to use your breath to release these blockages. In a session, some people cry, others laugh, express themselves... Be prepared for loud music, screaming, tears… and being cozy and close-up to your neighbors in order to enhance the group energy flow. It is an intense experience!
THE FLOW OF THE SESSION :
During the first half of this 2,5-hour session, I will connect you to your breath while introducing the spontaneous “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 of the session will be spent lying on your back with a mask covering your eyes (bring your own or buy one from me for 5€ cash only) 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.

"Each workshop is different because we are different, I am different, the music is different, the energy of the group is different, but the goal is the same : to become aware of one's breath and deepen one's vision of one's life.”~ Susan Oubari
