The SOMA Breath Awakening Ceremony is a higher yoga ritual designed to clear negative imprints and help you break free from the past — so you can be more present, in the flow, liberated, and the sole creator of your reality.
The practice
What is SOMA Breath?
SOMA Breath® is a worldwide community using a complete, scientifically-backed system of pranayama breathing techniques — sequenced to derive maximum mental and physical benefit from the method.
Hundreds of thousands of people attend our group sessions around the world. Sessions are hosted in many different formats, but the same core SOMA Breath techniques sit at the heart of every one.
The awakening ceremony, step by step
How does SOMA Breath work?
Rhythmic breathing hyper-oxygenates the body, bringing in more oxygen and blowing out more carbon dioxide than normal. This alters the pH of your bloodstream and creates a strong electromagnetic field and current to flow through your body.
The diaphragmatic breathing technique we teach stimulates the largest lymphatic organ in your body, creating a powerful cleansing effect and strengthening your immune system.
Extended exhalation and vocal toning tap into the power of the vagus nerve — switching off stress and connecting you with your subconscious mind.
The breath retention components are totally safe. They give you a few minutes to slow right down and pause your life to be fully in the present moment, entering a profound meditative state and connecting to yourself on a personal level.
Using affirmations, guided mental imagery and self-hypnosis, you can reprogram your subconscious operating system and influence your autonomic nervous system.
Activating yogic energetic locks throughout the ceremony creates sexual energy — the source of creativity and imagination. You experience states of ecstatic bliss and many different states of consciousness.
Powerful emotional releases can occur, and negative imprints from the past can be cleared. “Divine downloads” — moments of deep insight and inspiration — make the SOMA Breath experience truly unforgettable.
What do the sessions actually entail?
Sessions start with several rounds of deep somatic breathing exercises rooted in yoga, before moving into meditative dance. There are generally around 30 people in the room. We can guarantee you will leave feeling better than when you arrived.
Who guides the sessions?
Every SOMA Breath session is hosted by a fully certified, trauma-informed SOMA Breath® Transformational Coach — equipped to guide powerful sessions and respond safely if and when deep emotional reactions arise.
