Breathwork with Lexa and Evgenia
Conscious breathing changes your state faster than any words can. With us it is led by 2 people. Lexa works with calming techniques and with more intense ones, and Evgenia opens the morning with breath by the water.
What it is
What is breathwork
Breathwork is any practice in which you breathe on purpose, in a set rhythm, for long enough that your state shifts. It dissolves the tension held in the muscles and brings to the surface whatever has been asking for attention.
There is always a guide. You breathe on her count, and you have the right to stop at any moment.
Through the body
Somatic breathwork: breath and the body
The body keeps what has not been lived through. Old fears, resentments and strain settle into the muscles and into the breath. On Lexa's retreats breath goes together with bodywork, gentle hands-on work and directed attention, so that those holds can release.
Evgenia works without force as well. You breathe on her count until the thing you were holding finally moves, and a body braced for years lets go at its own speed.
Over several days
Breathwork retreat
On a retreat breath usually opens the day. In Sedona the mornings began with breath and kundalini yoga before the group went out to the places of power. On Kauai, in July 2026, Evgenia held morning breath by the water, and slow work on the floor of the house came after it.
Over several days each morning builds on the one before, and the body stops bracing sooner every time.

Questions
Asked before breathwork
Is breathwork dangerous?
The intense techniques do not suit everyone. Tell your guide about your health before the session: contraindications are talked through in advance, and the calming techniques stay open when the intense ones are not.
Do I need experience?
No. Every technique is explained as you go, and you choose your own depth each time.
