Connected Breath Session For Organisations
Connected Breath Session For Organisations
With Justine Clement
My breathwork session with Justine was just incredible! A truly amazing experience that has made a profound difference to how I feel – like a huge weight has been lifted from me. I instantly connected with Justine. Her expertise and genuine passion to help others was very evident. I felt safe, relaxed and really comfortable to just ‘let go’ and be myself. I highly recommend anyone to just give Connected Breathwork a go, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. I will definitely be booking more sessions as I can feel a real shift after just one. Gail Blackman.
What is Connected Breathwork?
Humans have been aware of the healing power of their breath for millennia. Through the centuries we’ve developed a vast array of breathing practices, all designed to bring about physical and emotional wellbeing and connect with our deeper selves. But in today’s society, we often neglect our bodies’ built-in capabilities. Imagine owning the most high specification TV in existence, keeping it plugged in on standby and then living with it for years and years without ever actually turning it on. The fact is, most of us live in ‘standby mode’ most of the time. Breath: the most powerful mechanism is literally right beneath our noses waiting to be explored, yet we rarely give it more than a passing thought.
Connected Breathing is a powerful and safe way to infuse the body with oxygen and energy, recharging our own (often depleted) systems to work to their healing capacity. It facilitates openings to higher levels of living and being, allowing us to tap into our deeper resources and live our lives joyfully and in abundance.
Breathwork helps you towards optimum mental health, emotional clarity and experience an ever-deepening relationship with yourself. It’s the means by which we can embark upon the ultimate journey: the one where we discover who we really are. It can also facilitate the growth needed in order for us to transform into who we’re capable of becoming.
What to expect
We run workshops in-person in a studio, your office if there’s an appropriate space, or otherwise the session can be done equally as well virtually via Zoom or whatever system works for your organisation. No previous experience is necessary. Breathwork is a benign and yet powerful modality with few contraindications. All you need for the session is yourself, dressed in comfy, loose clothing.
Justine will give a short introduction to the workings and benefits of Breathwork, followed by a demonstration of the technique. There’s plenty of opportunity to ask questions, then it’s into the breathing session. You’ll lie on your back (or for beginners we recommend you being in a slightly elevated position) and the whole group will breathe together online, guided by Justine, in the comfort of your own surroundings. During the session you will have your own very individual experience and no one will observe you other than your facilitator, Justine. Sensations of physical and/or emotional release are not uncommon. Most people experience an increasing sense of peace and wellbeing. Whatever your experience you can be sure that it’s just the beginning of an incredible journey. Welcome to the world of Connected Breathing!
The Science
Medical research into Connected Breathing and other such breathing therapies is still in its infancy although there are a number of ongoing studies exploring the relationship between Breathwork and heart disease, hypertension and mental/emotional states. The type of Connected Breathing that we teach involves a form of deep, circular, connected, diaphragmatic breathing (which is very different to yogic breathing/Pranayama). There are many variations of Breathwork (such as Transformational Breath, Holotropic Breath, Rebirthing which are all based on the “connected” breath) each with their own particular technique however all of the current research reports on the common benefits of continued slow, deep, diaphragmatic breathing. Click the links below for some of the available research:
- Boost the immune system

- Be effective in respiratory rehabilitation of COPD patients

After the session
After a Breathwork session you may feel very light, more open, and even euphoric for a few days. However, it’s also possible you find yourself a little more emotional than normal, which is perfectly normal and ok.
You’ll want to drink lots of water after a session, that’s because you’ve brought a lot of toxins to the surface through your breathing, and water will help flush them out. In the days and weeks that follow, you may find you experience:
- More self-confidence
- Access to more creativity and clarity
- A deeper sense of well-being
- A stronger connection with yourself and others and people often find that those around them will also feel the effects, such as improved relationships
