breathwork for thresholds of change
  • are you in a season of loss, change, grief, or reinvention where the old life no longer fits, but the new one hasn’t fully arrived yet?
  • do you feel your body holding the weight of transition — in your sleep, breath, or mood — even when your mind insists you should be “handling it better”?
  • are you longing for a grounded way to move through this threshold with support, so you don’t have to override your feelings just to keep functioning for your horse, your work, or the people who rely on you?

a guided path through loss, change, grief, or reinvention—where breath opens the next becoming.

a grounded, somatic breathwork experience for seasons of transition — the in-between moments when the familiar dissolves and the new has not yet fully arrived. grief, identity shifts, reinvention, endings, beginnings, and the quiet reshaping of who you are becoming… this work, grounded in the gap between the gap™ method, helps you meet these thresholds with steadiness, clarity, and compassion.

change is never just mental — it is physiological. when the nervous system feels uncertain, it clings to old patterns even when they no longer serve. through breath-led regulation, your system begins to soften its protective reflexes and holding patterns, creating space for new pathways, new choices, and a clearer sense of direction.

in these sessions, we explore:
• breathwork that settles overwhelm and calms emotional intensity
• somatic tools that support grief, letting go, and integration
• practices that soften bracing, holding, and the “in-between” weight of change
• awareness shifts that help you reconnect with clarity, intuition, and grounded self-trust

this is for anyone moving through transition — chosen or unexpected — and wanting to navigate it with more ease, resilience, and inner alignment.

thresholds are powerful places.
with breath as your anchor, the unknown becomes less frightening —
and more like an invitation.
every exhale becomes a soft crossing into what is ready to emerge.

“breath anchors you in the present, even as life moves you into the unknown.”
— gurudev amrit desai
