About Pranayama Breathwork
This style of Breathwork is specifically designed to slow us down and quiet our thinking mind and connect us deep into our body and heart. From this connected open space, we are able to access negative self beliefs and emotional blockages that gets stuck in our body such as: fear, anger, shame, sadness and more.
Pranayama:
The conscious awareness of breath: The life force that both energizes and relaxes the body. The term is derived from the sanskrit, prana, meaning “life force,” and ayama, meaning “extension”.

My story
This Breathwork practice connected me to my body and emotions like nothing I have ever experienced before in my life. My own journey of healing with Breathwork has allowed me to discover that judgment is the source of suffering, acceptance is the source of freedom, and love is the source of bliss.
The energy that we create through our breath quiets our thinking mind, and drops us into our heart. It is from this heart opening that I was able to access all of my emotional baggage that I was carrying around for years.
Through my healing sessions I discovered how I had been suppressing a lifetime of childhood pain and disappointment that left me feeling really bitter and angry. Underneath the anger was deep sadness. Because of this, what followed was a lot of self-blaming and shaming. I was so caught up in my mind and in everyday survival that these emotions had mostly gone unnoticed.
In utilizing Breathwork I continue to discover how much physical and emotional relief I can find. My body feels lighter, my heart is more open, and I have been able to release judgement and forgive myself while also meeting others with more empathy, compassion and kindness.
Ultimately, our breath is this massive ally that we have access to (all the time!). What a true gift to give oneself. We are our own greatest healers. I am so grateful for this transformational practice and love sharing it with others.
I arrived at our session in a state of mental overload and physical pain (chronic lower back). I trust my breath and I trust Carlos, and so we dove in. He acted as a highly-tuned conduit, guiding me through the breath practice, so that I could lead myself through exactly the depth of journey that I needed. I greatly appreciated his presence and the way he called me into my own agency and trust in the process. As my energy moved through me (visibly), I laughed, I cried, and I let go of a lot of the armor that was burdening my mind and my back. In reflection after the practice, I felt noticeably lighter (mentally and physically), had a sense of joy and vibrancy, and enjoyed some sweet relief from the back pain. I can't say enough positive things about this breathwork and Carlos as a guide. Do yourself a favor and take the first next step!

These sessions were potent medicine for me. I felt safe, seen and supported in a way that I’ve never experienced. I was able to feel safe enough to release rage, tears and whatever else needed to be released from my body so I could start my healing process.
I felt cared for with check in’s after our sessions and knew I had support if I needed it. This was a lifeline for me and I am so grateful for the type of healer and man he is. He is authentic, caring and supportive and has changed my life in a profound way. My life is better because of him.
My hope is that others who need support, will find their way to Carlos.

I felt instantly safe and supported with Carlos to express and move big feelings that had been stuck for a long time. I walked out with a lightness of being that I can best describe as tender loving presence.
