How to prepare:

Preparing your body: Please do not eat a big meal up to 1.5 hours before our session. If you need a small snack, choose something easy to digest in that time frame. Hydrate the day of, but do not drink a ton of water right before. This is to prevent that "full" feeling and to allow your diaphragm to move more easily. 

VIRTUAL SESSIONS

Choose a Quiet Space: Select a quiet and peaceful area where you won't be disturbed during your breathwork session. Ideally, this space should be free from distractions and have enough room for you to lay down comfortably.

Prepare Your Device: Ensure that your computer, tablet, or phone is fully charged or plugged in to avoid interruptions during the session. Set the device to "Do Not Disturb" mode or turn off notifications to minimize distractions.

Positioning the Device: If using a computer or tablet, position it within easy reach but out of the way to prevent it from becoming a distraction. You may place it on a nearby table or stand where you can see the screen without straining your neck.

Virtual & In-Person

What to wear/ bring:

- Wear comfy clothing, preferably without a tight waistband so you can breathe with ease.

-A blanket to wrap around you or a sweatshirt (some people get cold practicing breathwork.) This is optional.

1. Acknowledgment of Services

Breathwork sessions are offered by Consciously Kriyating LLC (the “Company”) and

conducted by Christina Karkouta (the “Coach”), an independent contractor of the

Company. I understand that Breathwork sessions are for educational purposes only and

are not a substitute for medical care or therapy, including but not limited to counseling,

psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care or substance abuse treatment. I

acknowledge that the Coach is not a physician or healthcare provider and I understand

that my Breathwork sessions with the Coach are not subject to any HIPPA protection or

physician privilege.

provided fully explained to me prior to receiving such services and I have been given the

opportunity to ask questions and my questions have been answered to my satisfaction.

My participation in Breathwork sessions is entirely voluntary and I have chosen to

participate of my own free will. I agree to follow the instructions and guidance provided

by the Coach during the Breathwork sessions to the best of my abilities. I understand

that I may modify or discontinue any technique or exercise at any time.

3. Assumption of Risks: Breathwork sessions involve, among other things, deep and

intentional breathing exercises. I acknowledge that there are inherent risks associated

with the practice of Breathwork, including but not limited to changes in emotional state,

physical sensations, and altered states of consciousness. I have consulted with my

physician or healthcare professional, if necessary. I do not have any medical or

psychological conditions that prevent me from participating in the Breathwork sessions

or that would make participation in the Breathwork sessions inadvisable. I understand

the importance of informing the Coach of all medical conditions and medications that I

am taking, and that there may be additional risks based on my physical condition. I

assume full responsibility for any risks or injuries that may occur.

arising out of or related to the Breathwork sessions provided by the Company and its

me.
