Summer Series: Breathwork & Sound Journey (Theme: LOVE)

At KALO (Greek for "beauty that is more than skin deep"), we believe that wellness starts from within. In addition to our women's strength training services, we also offer sauna/cold plunge therapy and breathwork to cultivate a foundation of nervous system regulation, deep connection to purpose/legacy, and authentic connection to others.

For this special summer breathwork series we will diving into 3 different themes that will guide the breathwork. So far we've discussed joy and self compassion. In this one we'll bring in LOVE. At the root of all inner work that truly transforms us for the better is love: love for self, love for others, and love as a force that softens, strengthens, and sustains.

In this session we will cover 3 different types of breathing: 360 breath (the foundational element of all breathwork, and key for health benefits), breath for vagus nerve activation (calms the nervous system), and circular or concious connected breath (too many emotional + physical benefits to list, but we will cover many in class). From there, you will be led through a breathwork journey with music that will incorporate all of these techniques into one beautiful flow. We will end with meditation. No previous breathwork experience is required to attend this session. All levels will benefit, and be encouraged to move at paces that are comfortable.

This class will be led by Jourdan Baldwin, KALO Co-Owner, B.S Health & Exericise Science, and breathwork guide with extensive training and mentorship in XPT breathwork, pranayama, Conscious Connected Breathwork, and nervous system regulation via the Polyvagal Theory. Jourdan is also certified in the principles of somatic processing, breath mechanics, and stress physiology in her coaching and facilitation, creating an experience that is both deeply embodied and transformative.

Who's this for: This session is for anyone who wants to reconnect with their body, calm their mind, and remember what it feels like to experience real, grounded, peace and compassion. Whether you’re navigating stress, craving more depth and presence, or simply looking to explore breathwork in a welcoming space, this experience is for you. No previous experience is needed, just an open heart and a willingness to breathe. Perfect for anyone seeking personal growth, nervous system regulation, or a moment of embodied peace in the midst of a busy summer.

Please bring: blanket, pillow, water bottle and anything else you need to create a comfortable space.
