New to Breathful Beats? Here’s what your first class can feel like.
What to expect
at a class.
Your first Breathful Beats class.
Music, guided breath, sound and stillness. A little space to step out of your day.
Jody guides the session. You stay in charge of your participation. You don’t need to be musical or arrive feeling calm.
Arrive & settle
Meet the space and the shape of the session, with time for questions and a simple intention.
Movement & activation
Notice your body and energy. The invitation is to settle into the experience, not to push or perform.
Humming & sound
Explore the vibration of your voice. Keep it quiet, listen instead, or sit this part out.
Intention & visualization
Bring an intention into the practice. There is no right image to see or feeling to manufacture.
Music-led breath
Follow guided rhythmic breathing with the music. The pace and intensity depend on the class and suitability.
Rest & a sharing circle
Return to ordinary breathing and notice how you feel. Share if you wish, or simply listen.
You can rest, breathe normally, keep your eyes open or stop. The exact sequence and intensity vary with the class. Discuss suitability with Jody before joining, especially if you are pregnant, have a health condition or are unsure about breath retention.

Sound. Space. Together.
