Transformational Breathwork

A Transformational Breathwork session with me lasts a total of 2 hours. After a short arrival and welcome, I explain some basics and interesting facts about the process. Afterwards you can ask me questions and after a short break we start with a 45-60 minute breathing journey.

You breathe lying on your back or stomach with your eyes closed. Ideally on a soft mat with pillows and blankets for support, but ideally not in bed. I will guide the connected breath and support you to get into that state where the breath is absolutely in flow. There will be music playing which will also help you to find the connected breath. If you succeed (and it often takes a while) it feels as if your body takes over this active breathing completely. You are no longer breathing, your body is breathing you.

Finally, I will guide you through a regulating breathing technique. So that you can come back relaxed. There will be time and space for a voluntary sharing circle and I will also give you some tips on how you can organise the follow-up to the Breathwork session.

Yes. You don't need any previous breathwork or meditation experience. Before we begin, I'll explain the breathing technique, answer your questions and guide you throughout the entire session.

Functional breathing focuses on how you breathe in everyday life and helps you develop healthier, more efficient breathing patterns. Transformational Breathwork uses a longer, conscious connected breathing practice to create a deeper embodied experience.

Depending on what you need, we can work with either approach or combine elements of both.

Breathing directly interacts with physiological processes involved in stress and regulation. Different breathing practices can therefore be used to support relaxation, body awareness and nervous system regulation.

Which practice is appropriate depends on the person and the situation—which is why my 1:1 work doesn't use the same breathing technique for everyone.

Whilst transformative breathing is a healing experience, there are a few health conditions where caution is advised.

If you have never breathed like this before and are pregnant, have high blood pressure or epilepsy, please contact me in advance and we can discuss how we can adapt the session for you.

Yes, you absolutely can.
Breathing online can feel wonderful, being in your own safe space feels for some people just best. Give it a try if you are not sure if this is for you.

For Transformational Breathwork in an online setting, you will need:

• A quiet room that you can close

• Stable internet connection‍ ‍

• A laptop or iPad to join the session

• Ideally, Bluetooth headphones or a good sound system

• A mat (yoga mat, folded blanket, or anything comfortable to lie on)

• Pillow(s) for under your head/knees if needed

• A blanket to stay warm

• Eye mask (optional)

• Water to stay hydrated

• Notebook & pen to capture your thoughts afterward

• Room spray or incense if you enjoy setting the mood

I offer private 1:1 breathwork sessions in Lucerne and Zurich, Switzerland, as well as online sessions for clients worldwide.

Simply contact me via hi(at)eleonoralombriser.com.

I highly encourage you to be gentle with yourself and take some time over the next 24 hours to slow down and be present. This will help you integrate your experience well and feel positive effects in the long term.

The following can be helpful for good grounding:

Eat something nutritious

Drink a lot (you have excreted a lot of fluid due to the intensive breathing)

Go out into nature

Write, paint, dance, sing, ....

Do gentle movement exercises such as yin yoga or give yourself a self-massage

Take a hot bath

Don't make any big life decisions based on your breathing session for a few days - let your experiences integrate and work on their own

Send me an email if you don't feel fully integrated after the session or if you have any further questions!
