Group breathwork sessions.

Two hours of guided breathing in a room of people doing the same work. You do not have to talk. You do not have to explain yourself. You breathe, and you find out what your body has been holding.

Tell me where you are

It felt like I had been carrying a heavy 30 to 40 kg backpack on my shoulders for a very long time, and had finally put it down.

Where I trained

Trained with Evolution of Breath.

Vishal trained with Evolution of Breath (opens in new tab), the world’s most immersive breathwork facilitator training: four weeks, over three hundred hours, in person with Mike O’Meara. Most of what he understands about holding a session for someone else, he learned there, on the floor, in his own body first.

Around two hours

What actually happens in a group session.

You arrive, find a mat, and settle. Everything after that is guided.

  1. 15 min

    Orientation.

    What we are doing, how the breathing works, what your body might do, and how to slow down or stop at any point.

  2. 60 min

    Breathe.

    Lying down, eyes covered, music playing. In through the mouth, no pause, out through the mouth. I talk you through the whole thing. You do not have to remember anything or get it right.

  3. 30 min

    Land.

    You stop, and you lie there. That part matters as much as the breathing. Then water, time on the ground, and an optional circle. You can leave without saying a word.

Around two hours in total.

What it can feel like.

Your hands may tingle or go numb. Your jaw may tighten. You may cry, or shake, or laugh. Some people make sounds. These are common physical responses to breathing at that rate, they are safe, and they pass.

Nobody is watching you. Everyone in the room has their eyes covered and is inside their own experience.

And some people feel very little the first time. That happens. It is not a failure, and it is not a sign the work is not for you. The breath is a skill, and the first session is often just where the body learns it is allowed.

The room

What a group gives you.

  • The sound of it.

    A room of people breathing together to music is powerful. You hear it and feel it. And it keeps you going.

  • Anonymity.

    You do not have to tell anyone your history, except your facilitator in the intake form to ensure safety. You come in, you breathe, you go home.

  • A low-stakes way in.

    It is a low-stakes way to experience breathwork and discover how you feel about it.

Fit

When a group session is right for you.

  • You want to try breathwork and would rather do it in a room than one to one.
  • You want to see what your body actually does before committing to deeper work.
  • You have practised before and want the pull of breathing alongside other people.

Locations

Cities.

Group sessions currently run in Jaipur. Coming soon in Delhi and Mumbai.

The facilitator

Who’s facilitating.

I am Vishal. I facilitate breathwork one to one, in person and online.

I spent a lot of time in my 20s on personal development and inner work. Vipassana, therapy, reading, inner child work, parts work and IFS, self-help books, journalling. I understood myself extremely well, yet something was always missing. I felt stuck. Breathwork is what moved the needle for me, on top of the foundation I had built.

My personal transformation nudged me to go through the world’s most immersive breathwork facilitator training, four weeks and over 300 hours in person with Mike O’Meara. He is the founder and guardian of Evolution of Breath (opens in new tab), a global movement rooted in the ancient remembrance that the breath is our original shaman, guide, and healer.

Reflections

From the people who have done this work.

“My shoulders felt light. There was an undeniable lightness in both my body and my mind.”

  1. Before

    I went into the session with no expectations, because I honestly had no idea what to expect. Vishal made it feel safe by explaining every step beforehand and guiding us throughout.

  2. During

    During the session I felt intense sensations in my body. I felt very cold, and my hands and fingers became stiff and curled up. Whenever I needed support, Vishal calmly helped me with posture corrections so I could stay comfortable and continue.

  3. After

    The biggest shift came afterwards. It felt like I had been carrying a heavy 30 to 40 kg backpack on my shoulders for a very long time, and had finally put it down.

“To my surprise, I stayed for the entire session, and I’m so glad I did.”

  1. Before

    I’ve been an active practitioner of meditation and yoga. Breathwork, though, was something I’d heard about but never really believed was for me. I had convinced myself it just wasn’t my cup of tea.

    Still, I decided to take a leap of faith when I saw Vishal’s session. I went in thinking that if I didn’t like it, I’d simply leave halfway through.

  2. During

    To my surprise, I stayed for the entire session, and I’m so glad I did. It was the longest I’ve ever spent consciously focusing on my breath, literally 1.5 hours. The vibrations I experienced felt surreal. At some point, it felt like I had transcended into a completely different state of awareness.

  3. After

    The experience was deeply transformative in ways I’m still processing, and it left me genuinely curious to explore breathwork further.

Questions

Common questions about breathwork.

Will I have to talk or share?

No. The closing circle is optional and you can sit through it in silence or leave. Plenty of people do.

I have never done breathwork. Is this for me?

Yes. Most people in the room on any given night are new to it. The session is guided from start to finish and the orientation covers everything before we begin.

Will I feel calm during the session?

No. The breathing is active and it can be intense. The settling comes afterwards, and it is real, but I would rather you knew that going in than found out on the mat.

I have understood my patterns for years. Why would breathing change anything?

Because understanding and feeling are two different capacities, and reading more does not build the second one. That was true for me for a long time. Breathwork works on the body directly, which is where the things you already understand are actually being held. It is not a cure for anything, and I would not claim it is. It is a way of getting underneath the part of you that explains.

How big is a group session?

It varies by venue. Usually somewhere between eight and twenty-five people. The number for each session is on its event page.

What is the difference between a group session and a private session?

A private session is built around you: your history, your pace, and my full attention for the whole two hours. A group session gives you the pull of a room and the freedom of being anonymous in it. Both are real practices. Neither is a lesser version of the other.

Is breathwork safe for everyone?

No. Some conditions mean this work is not appropriate, including pregnancy, epilepsy, cardiovascular conditions, glaucoma, severe hypertension, a history of psychosis, and some others. Every booking includes a health intake form before the session, and if anything on it means the work is not safe for you, I will say so and refund you in full.

What should I bring?

Comfortable clothes, a blanket, and water. Each event page lists anything specific to that venue.

What does it cost?

Pricing is shown on each event page.

When there is no session near you.

Group sessions run when a venue, a city, and enough people line up. Some months there is nothing on the calendar near you.

Private sessions. One to one, in Jaipur or on Zoom, with the whole session shaped around you.

And tell me where you are. When I am planning where to go next, this list is what I look at.
