Medical Cautions
Somatic breathwork is an intense activity leading to emotional release. It is
not recommended if you are pregnant. It is also not recommended for individuals with a history of:
- Seizures
- Cardiovascular disease, including Angina or heart attack
- Untreated high blood pressure
- Glaucoma
- Retinal detachment
- Osteoporosis
- Significant recent physical injuries or surgery
- Severe mental illness
- Major medications
When in doubt, I recommend discussing your concerns with your primary care physician and/or mental health support team.
