Psychedelic Breathwork for Beginners 🌬️✨
Welcome to Psychedelic Breathwork for Beginners, a conscious breathwork class designed for individuals who want to take their first intentional breaths in community. To dip their toes into psychedelic experience without sacred medicine.
Together we will learn & practice numerous specific breathing techniques, known in the traditional yogic wisdom tradition as pranayamas. Breathwork is a core pillar of traditional yogic wisdom traditions.
These techniques will help you to make the most of a psychedelic experience, and to conjure psychedelic experience.
This class will take place in-person at Sarai Yoga, in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, NYC. Sarai is a lovely, welcoming yoga studio.
Henry (lead) & Jared (co-facilitator) will guide you, together with the class, through a series of pranayamas – straightforward & accessible breathing techniques – to help you build up a repertoire of conscious breathwork skills for your daily life & future psychedelic experience.
We'll also have a brief psychedelic breathwork ceremonial experience in the class, to put your skills into practice for conjuring a psychedelic experience.

You'll come away from the class with new tools and experience to bring into your daily life that will support your emotional & spiritual well-being, as well as support you in future psychedelic experience.
You'll be better equipped to be with, work through, & respond to your emotional experience in & outside of psychedelic experience.
We aim to provide a safe and supportive environment for you to explore conscious breathwork & altered states of consciousness in community, and to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and how to be in healthier relationship with the world around you.
We'd love for you to join us for Psychedelic Breathwork for Beginners at Sarai Yoga, to take a first or next step into an extraordinary journey of self-discovery.
Breathwork is generally safe, except if you have a history of grand mal seizures or are pregnant. Please join us if those do not apply to you :)
Psychedelics will not be offered and are not encouraged for this class. This is a space for clear, sober breathwork practice.
We look forward to having you join! 🌬️✨
Thank you!
