Rebirthing Breathwork

Rebirthing Breathwork is a form of conscious connected breathing developed by Leonard Orr. Guided by a trained facilitator, you breathe in a relaxed, continuous rhythm without pauses between inhale and exhale, usually for 60–90 minutes, while staying aware of bodily sensations and emotions, followed by rest and integration.

By his own account, Orr began developing the method in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Many people describe tingling, waves of emotion, deep relaxation or fresh insight. Because it is a high-ventilation practice, it has real contraindications — read the safety guidance before your first Session.
