Deep Breathwork Workshop – Fundamentals & the Home Practice with Wahsonti:io

The Deep Breathwork Workshop, Fundamentals & the Home Practice, is an evening introduction to deep breathwork led by Wahsonti:io at For-rest Retreat in Salmo, British Columbia. It is beginner friendly, and it is aimed at people who are curious about deep breathwork, sometimes called overbreathing, and want to understand the basics before building a practice of their own.

What to Expect

The workshop runs from 6:30 to 8:00 pm, a compact ninety minutes. As the title says, the focus is on two things: the fundamentals of deep breathwork, and the home practice. The aim is to leave with a clearer sense of how the technique works and how to continue with it by yourself, rather than only having been guided through it once.

This is a workshop rather than a full ceremony. Wahsonti:io also leads a separate Deep Breathwork Ceremony at For-rest Retreat, which is meant for people who have already tried some form of deep breathwork. This evening is the gentler starting point, where the groundwork is laid.

The Setting

For-rest Retreat is in Salmo, in the Kootenay region of British Columbia, south of Nelson. It is a retreat property that hosts yoga, meditation, wellness retreats and community gatherings, so an evening workshop like this one sits comfortably among its regular offerings.

Before You Go

The workshop is open to beginners, and no previous breathwork experience is needed. People who have already practised deep breathwork or overbreathing, in any style, are welcome to come along as well. They may find some of the material repetitive, but it can still be a useful way to revisit the foundations and to refine a home practice.

If you are new to breathwork, arriving with an open mind and a willingness to learn the basics is all that is asked. Wahsonti:io is the teacher for the evening, and the pace is set for people meeting this practice for the first time.
