BREATHWORK · WORSHIP · CONNECTION
Guided breathing, worship, and gentle prayer. A little room to reconnect with yourself and what matters to you. Come as you are.
Chandler, Arizona No session fee
AN EVENING FOR YOU
We begin with a welcome and gentle prayer, move into guided breathwork with worship music, then leave time to rest and reflect. No experience needed. You choose your pace.
WHAT TO BRING
Wear comfortable clothes you can breathe and move in.
Find a comfortable place on your mat. We'll introduce the practice, answer questions, and offer a gentle opening prayer. You're welcome to join in or simply listen. A blanket and water help you settle in.
Worship music creates space to turn your attention inward as Jordana and Christopher guide the rhythm of your breath. Notice what's present—thoughts, emotions, or the feeling of your body on the mat. An eye mask is optional, and you can pause anytime.
As the rhythm softens, take time to rest and notice what stays with you. We'll offer space for prayer and reflection. Have some water, share if you want, or keep the experience personal. There's no particular feeling you need to leave with.
MAKE IT YOUR OWN

A SHARED SPACE. YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE.
Find your place on a mat. Let the music meet you where you are. Breathe alongside others, with room to experience it in your own way.
Make room for your first FridayGET A LITTLE CURIOUS
Breathwork uses the rhythm and pattern of breathing to bring attention to your inner experience. Guided cues, worship music, and movement invite you to notice what everyday busyness can drown out: how you feel, what you're carrying, and what you need.
No. You have breathing cues to follow and worship music to listen to. Thoughts can come and go. You can meet yourself as you are, without trying to make your mind perfectly quiet.
You might become more aware of physical tension, emotions, or thoughts you haven't had time to sit with. Some people describe a sense of release, calm, or renewed energy; others experience something quieter.
Worship and prayer offer space to bring that experience into your relationship with Christ, if you wish. Everyone's experience is different. Strong sensations aren't a goal, and you can return to your natural breath at any time.
A 2023 review of 12 randomized trials involving 785 adults found a small to moderate reduction in self-reported stress with breathwork compared with control conditions. Study quality raised some concerns.
Read the reviewA separate four-week trial with 400 adults found slow coherent breathing didn't outperform a matched breathing comparison for stress or wellbeing. These studies examined particular techniques, rather than our sessions; results aren't a promise about what you'll feel.
Read the comparison studyPause, return to your natural breath, and let an instructor know. Keep your breathing comfortable rather than forced. If you have health concerns, ask your health care provider about breathing practices before participating.
