Question 1

Who’s leading the session? What are your qualifications?

Accepted Answer

I’m Charlotte Grysolle, an Oxygen Advantage® Instructor, a certified Breath Science Practitioner, and an ICF-accredited Body-Oriented Coach. I work with people one-on-one and in group settings to help them use their breath in practical, everyday ways — for energy, focus, sleep, and stress.

Question 2

Do I need experience?

Accepted Answer

Nope. This session is for everyone, especially if you’re new to breathwork.

Question 3

Are we going to do any hyperventilation or conscious connected breathing?

Accepted Answer

No, this is meant to be down-regulating and functional breathing. In this session, there will be no hyperventilation, no breathholds, nothing too activating or stimulating. This is going to be accessible to everyone and anyone.

Question 4

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Anything comfortable. It's not an exercise class but any activewear or loose clothes are perfect.

Question 5

Can I join if I have asthma or a medical condition?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes, especially since this is a light and gentle session. If you’re unsure, let me know.

Question 6

Will we be sitting or lying down the whole time?

Accepted Answer

Completely up to you. I typically start with sitting but whenever you feel like you want to,  you're more than welcome to lie down.
