Welcome everyone to the 3rd session of Breath Fest. We're here today with Claudia. She is one of our top instructors. She's been with us for a very, very long time, and she's also one of our mentors. So you guys are going to have an incredible session today. And just, uh, before we begin, I just want to know, where is everyone tuning in from today? I want to get a feel for where we have people coming in from. From Jakarta. Nice. I'm in Indonesia as well. Philippines, Michigan, Los Angeles, Mexico, Oregon, Florida, Costa Rica, Pennsylvania, Toronto. Yes, my hometown. San Diego, Croatia. Cool. I was just there a week ago. Tulsa, Lebanon, Ontario, Maryland. Sacramento, middle of the world, Ecuador. Lucas, very nice. Wow, this is amazing. New Zealand. Holy— we got people from literally all over the world. This is absolutely incredible. And you know what, I just want to give a moment of gratitude here before we begin, because 10 years ago when I met Niraj in a tiny island in Thailand called Koh Phangan, I remember sitting with him on the beach and he brought this amazing technique to me. He he put music on and he told me, hey, breathe in this rhythm. And I did it and it was absolutely amazing. And I was blown away and I was like, what are you going to do with this thing? He's like, I'm going to spread it around the world. I'm going to have people all over the world breathing together. I'm going to change lives and transform people. And I was like, sure, sure, this sounds completely crazy. But here we are today, 10 years later. We have over 100 people on this call. We, we're doing this Breath Fest once again and we have people from all over the world. So his vision became a reality. And that's what happens when your energy rises, when you have this high vibrational state. So it's absolutely incredible to see it manifest into reality. So I'm so happy to be here hosting this call. I haven't done this in a very long time, and I'm excited to, to be a part of this. Um, now one more thing before we begin. I just want to get a feel for how everyone's feeling this morning. So if you're— let's say it's like a really bad day, You're feeling sad, you don't really know what to do next in your life, that'd be a 1. And if it's like the best day ever, that's a 10. So if you guys can just put like a 1 to 10 rating of how you're feeling, just to get an idea. 5, 8 to 9, 10, 8. We got some high vibes, some people that need a little bit of a lift. 1, 7, 4. Okay. Thank you guys all for sharing. And this is what Soul and Breath is all about, right? Some of you guys are already vibing high. Amazing. Some of you need that extra lift, and this is what Claudia is gonna do for you today. So Claudia, like I said, has been with us since the beginning, since the very beginning of Soul and Breath. She's one of our mentors in the instructor training program. She's trained thousands of instructors. We have over 4,000 right now at the moment, and she's gonna take very good care of you. If you haven't followed her already on Instagram, definitely do it. You're gonna get a lot of good insights from her. So I'm sure she'll share that later with you so you can, you can give her a follow. So Claudia, I'm gonna pass it over to you now.

Okay.

Hello, tribe. I don't know if you can, can you see me? Like I'm in the middle of the screen or I'm in a very small square. I don't know. My computer is like crazy right now. And people, let me tell you that you are— I am being hosted by one of the founders of Summer Breath. So Gary, because I know that not everyone, you know, Gary is a lot in the background or in the backstage of Summer Breath. But you know when Niraj talked about the right and the left brain, like Niraj is the creator, Gary is like very like me, is the pitta, is the fire, is the person who really makes the Niraj creation and visions and make it real. So he's a super important person in some of us, and I also been honored to be with him in, um, in Colombia. Actually, we were together in a beautiful retreat. So, uh, thank you, Gary, for being with me today, and I am super happy to have you all guys in this call. But let me tell you a little bit about me before we start. I'm a very Latin Fiery woman. So the first thing we're going to do before we start this, we are going to move. I love movement. I love move the body. I love to dance. I love to help you to ignite your craziness and your desires and your passion when we dance. And this is something that I love when I was studying somabreath, because, you know, meditation for me always was very difficult. It was boring, actually. And then when I found out somabreath, it's like, oh my God, I can breathe and meditate dancing. How cool is that? So I invite all of you guys to stand up. Let's have fun together first before we start everything. I just want to bring happiness and I want to bring joy into your life. Are we going to have fun?

Smile.

Let it go with the side arm. And then please go back to your sitting position and welcome. Okay, how do you feel right now? How was that?

Was good.

Yes, all the music that you are hearing with all the instructors in this breath fest is original from Soma. We have the best musicians of the world, and I've been also honored to meet some of them. So before we start the breathwork, my name is Claudia. I live in Chile, South America. I am 56 years old. I am a master and mentor in Soma breath. almost 5 years, going to the 6th year. And this completely changed my life after a hysterectomy that I had when I was 48, where I was completely disconnected from my body. I was really losing it. I didn't have energy at all, completely drained, unhappy, with no purpose. And I found this beautiful technique. As soon as I breathe, A daily dose with Niraj guiding me through a rhythmical breathing. Everything came back, came back my energy, came back my purpose, my drive, my my fire. So I am here to tell you that you're not old, that it's never too late, that this beautiful program is for everyone and anyone who wants to transform their life. Age is just data.

Okay?

Because sometimes I, I, I, I know that sometimes it's very frustrating when we, we see youth, you know, and, and young people with a lot of energy. And, and sometimes you can think, well, I don't think this is for me, right? What should I— what can I do here? And well, that is what I do, actually. I help women navigating perimenopause and menopause. I'm trying to help women to embody power back Okay, because everyone here is powerful, and if you're 50, 60, 70, 80, or 100, you are powerful and a goddess and a god. So welcome again to my session today. I'm really, really excited to bring this awareness about what is real, what is reality. Do you think that you are a victim of your reality, having that this focus on the summer is over? But actually, it's funny because in South America, winter is over, so we're super happy. But let's understand about when you need to go back to some reality that really makes you feel anxious and stressed. I remember that when I was working in marketing for so many years, the last years of my work, I wake up every Monday with a stomachache. Like Sunday for me was already a bad day. You know, I was already thinking on Oh my God, tomorrow's Monday. You know, that sensation that coming from summer where you have time with your family, where you maybe have a beautiful travel, maybe you went to a different place, and then suddenly you are feeling this frustration, right? To, oh my God, I have to go back to reality. And I think that is super strange to say. So you have different realities in summer and different reality in winter. Just because of the weather. So I would love to ask you first, guys, in the chat, if you can tell me what do you— what is the sensation that you have in that reality that makes you feel low vibration, in a low vibration? Like, what is it? What— tell me. Is your work? It is your city? It is the weather? It is What it is? It is your relationship. What do you think it is? Right? I, I guess, and I, I think that most of you are going to tell me my job. And that is crazy, guys. You know what? Because we have to spend so much time in our job. So much time like work, right? Lack of fulfillment. Yeah, you don't feel full. You don't feel complete.

Right?

Loneliness.

Right?

So all of these sensations of, oh, I need to go back to that reality where I will— I can— I'm going to feel that again. Do you think you have the power to change that? Or what is pulling you back to really change that mindset and that emotions in this reality that you think you're going to get back from summer? Time, time, not enough.

Self-love.

Loneliness again. Fear. Negative people.

Okay. Okay.

So there's so many things that usually in the external world, guys, we're always looking outside of. I have this terrible life because of this and this and this and that. But actually, it's just coming from you. You feel fear of change. You don't feel confident enough to make that changes. You are procrastinating to take action to really make that changes in your life. You are completely lost about who you really want. And this is a huge question that you're going to listen in the meditation as well. Because sometimes we don't really know what we want. Or when I ask you what you want, you're going to tell me what you want through the voices of your father, your mother, your family, your society. What do you really want? Right? So today's session is 3 rounds of breathwork. We're going to be breathing in through the nose and breathing out through the mouth in a circular way. No tension. It's not volume. It's not this. Okay, it is very subtle. And very subtle exhale in circular ways, like a very soft wave of oxygen, of air coming in and coming out through your body. Right? No force. Very important. We're going to start breathing in in four and breathing out in four. So that brings coherence. What I want— make that conversation with your heart and your mind, not only your mind. Second round, we're going to start breathing in in 2 and breathing out in 4. What is pulling you back on that reality? And we're going to end breathing in in 2 and breathing out in 2, embracing that change, embracing that new life, embracing that new creativity. embodiment that you are the creator. You are the creator of your reality. You're not a victim of your reality. Okay, now in this session, there's something different that we're going to do at the end. As soon as we finish the 3rd round, breathing in, in 2, and breathing out in 2, you're going to hear music at the end where I invite you to move if you feel that you want to stand up and dance. Or if you just feel to stay seated and move your body, I recommend to everyone to do this breathwork sitting, not lying down, because I invite you again to integrate your body in the breath. Okay, the breath, the movement, the sound of your exhalation—all of those things are very important to feel pleasure, to feel happiness, to feel joy, to feel that I am complete. Right? So the soma within mind, body, and soul is a very important integration. We do have some contraindications only for the breath holds because we have a breath hold phase as well in between the rhythmical breathing where we're going to be breathing in fully and then breathing out all the air through your lungs. And you're going to hold, putting your chin into the chest gently, and you're going to try to hold as much as you can. Please take a sip of air through your nose and exhale again when you have that very first urge to breathe. But go beyond a little bit, like count 3 or count 5 before you take that sip of air. But don't hold until it hurts. Okay, it's not a competition. Just take that sip of air and exhale as soon as you have that first urge to breathe. And then we're going to be breathing in together. Through the nose, holding, squeezing the pelvic floor muscles. The pelvic floor muscles are the sphincter muscles. It's when you are really— you really need to pee, but you don't have any bathroom nearby, and you need just to hold there. That is the sphincter muscle. And we're going to push that when we breathe in and hold. And then we're going to exhale again. That breath hold phase has some contraindications for people who have epilepsy, a pacemaker, if you're pregnant. If you have a very strong and hard issue in your heart, like in your, in your heart and your lungs, right? If you have fever, if you have a full stomach, if you're driving, please drive safe. Do this after in water, right? And if you have tinnitus or hernias, better to just drop the breath hold phase, go back to your normal breath when we are holding our breath, and then get into the next round. Always in through the nose and out through the mouth. Never in through the mouth. The mouth is to kiss and to eat, but the nose is to breathe. So we breathe through the nose and we exhale through the mouth. I will recommend as well to exhale with the sound. The sound of your voice is unique. No one else has your voice. So connect with that. It will help you to connect with your own pleasure as well, with your own desires. Something that I want to share with you guys that I feel so— I, I hear— I heard a few days ago, uh, when Dolly Parton died. You know, I love that woman so much and I love her music. And in one interview she said that dream and wish are different because when we're, when we are following our dreams, there's a passion behind that. But she said wish is just hope. Right? When I wish something is because I'm putting the, like, the force or the creativity into other people, right? So today I hope that you can really see your dreams. What are your desires? And another woman that I really, I get really a lot of inspiration is Madonna. And Madonna, one time she said, Well, someone asked her, what do you think is the difference between people who are successful and people who are not successful? And she said, desire. Desire. If you don't have desire for the things that you're, you know, wanted, how are you going to achieve them? You need desire. Desire is that spark of life, right? That confidence that you are going— you are really following Your dreams, the things that you love. Okay, so for people who are asking about the replay, yes, everyone will have the replay. Now please just focus on this. Let's take a big inhale together and exhale. I will give you 30 seconds to be in a very comfortable position, sitting in a chair or in a cushion or in a bed. Be very comfortable. Be safe. Again, I recommend you to do this sitting instead of lie down, but if it's okay, if you prefer to lie down, and I recommend to use headsets, headphones, earbuds. If you have someone near you, use it. It will help you to integrate better the music too. And Okay, I think we're ready. Are we ready? Give me some action, some— what's the name? Oh my God, my English. I'm a menopausal woman, so sometimes I have brain fogs. Yeah, reaction. I got it. Give me some reactions. Okay, let's feel the vibe. Let's feel the energy. Okay, guys, so please, now I invite you to close your eyes. Just close your eyes. Put your awareness into your breathing naturally from your nose.

With awareness into the music. So don't think, don't plan, don't try to fix anything right now. Just be now in the present, knowing that you are not here to escape. Your reality or escape your life.

You are here to remember that you can create a different one. Take a big inhale through your nose, soft and subtle.

Squeeze all the muscles of your body. Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, and let it go with a sigh of relaxation. And relax more. Feel the weight of your body in the chair, in the floor, the earth beneath all of it. You don't have to hold yourself up right now because something bigger is going to happen. So Do you think that you can create a new reality? Do you think that you are powerful enough to do that? Today is about honesty, of being open to any answer with no judgment. So in the first round, breathing in for 4 and breathing out for 4, breathing in through the nose and breathing out through the mouth, put this question in your mind: what do you really want to create?

Don't put this question In your head, put it in your heart.

What do you really want to create? Use the breath as a bridge. What do you really want to create? Let's breathe in beats.

1, 2, 3.

Use your exhalation with a sound. Whisper the answer. What do you really want to create?

In, 2, 3, 4, out, 2, 3, 4. In, 2, 3, 4, out, 2, 3, 4. In, 2, 3, 4, out, 2, 3, 4. 3, 4, in, 2, 3, 4, out, 2, 3, 4, in, 2, 3, 4, out, 2, 3, 4.

Can you hear the answer? Can you feel the answer? Go deeper. What is something that you really want to create? Maybe it's a feeling before the image, and that's okay. So what is the feeling you want to create in your life? Stay connecting with that question. What is something that makes your heart vibrate in joy? What do you want? What do you want to create? Get out of the mind, go to your heart.

3, 4.

Open your senses. What do you want?

1, 2, 3, 4.

Taking a big inhale through your nose now and exhale fully through the mouth, uh, with the sound of your voice, exhaling what you desire. Putting the chin into the chest gently, hold your breath. That's As much as you can. Go a little beyond your comfort zone, but if you cannot hold any longer, just Just take a sip of air through your nose and exhale again and hold back again, knowing that you are the creator. Maybe having that answer already in your heart of what you really desire and want to create in your life. What is pulling you back?

What is pulling you back?

Take another sip of air if you need to. Exhale and hold back now with that question: What is pulling you back? What is happening that is pulling you back? It can be anything, sometimes even illusions. What is really pulling you back? And let's take a bit Inhale together in 3, 2, 1. Take a big inhale through your nose now, holding your breath in. Only breath in, nothing else. Feeling the vibration building in your body. What is the feeling who's pulling you back, my dear?

I don't know.

If you are powerful, hold that power in and just let it go with a sigh of relaxation and realization. Maybe it's fear of not being enough. Maybe I just don't trust myself. Go back to your normal breath for a few minutes. Where is that feeling in your body that is pulling you back?

Is in your belly, is in your heart, is in your stomach, in your throat. This is also part of you. It's good for you to know.

What is pulling you back? Observe that with love, no judgment. And in the second round, we're going to be breathing in in 2 and breathing out in 4. Imagine a color, a color that represents higher vibrations for you. Any color, first impression. And you're going to bring that color in into this limitation, pulling back emotions, and you're going to fill that with light, with confidence, with energy, with desire and passion. Like a current of light coming in through your nose and out through your mouth, using that color to cleanse, to clean, to let go everything that is pulling you back, for start designing your own reality, to create your reality. Relax your body again and your shoulders down. Relax your forehead and your jaw.

Relax your forehead and your jaw.

You have the color already. Do you have that light that you're going to inhale now? If you cannot imagine a color, that's okay. Inhale the feeling, the feeling that you're going to feel if you leave your creation. So let's get ready for the second round. Follow the beat.

You're welcome, Sylvie. Sometimes we don't need to see anything. People who are here that, that cannot visualize, the most important thing is to feel. If you cannot see, that's okay. How do you feel? How do you feel when you are Telling to yourself, I am the creator, right?

Laughter.

Yes, I have a lot of laugh attacks too before. This breathwork is available in the Soma app as a replay, Sarina. The music that you hear is my own creation because I am the creator of the music too. I am the creator of the music in Summer Breath. So I created this track, these different tracks that I put together, and I packed something. So I hope that you enjoy. And of course, the last song with the saxophone is in honor of my brother Orlando, another Summer Breath instructor. He's also one of the first instructors in Summer Breath, and he's from Colombia, and he's one of the incredible musicians that make music in Summer Breath. So I usually put some music with him in my, in my sessions. Just to remind him, to remind his beautiful energy. Seriously, amazing session. I love the dancing at the end with the masks to celebrate. Yes, you're welcome, everyone. Gary, where are you? Gary?

I'm here, I'm here. I'm just reading all the comments and, and just letting you take in all of the gratitude and appreciation from the community.

My heart is full.

So yeah, as, as Claudia said, um, this session you will be able to find the replay and also all the other sessions from the Breath Fest inside of the Solar Breath app. Plus, if you don't already have the app— if you already have it, you know, you know what's in there. If you don't, there's so many amazing breathwork sessions from different instructors, including Claudia, Shayna, uh, of course Niraj has a bunch in there, and we keep adding new ones every month. So it's a great place to go in and just try different types of slow breath experiences, but also to, to see different instructors. And very soon we're gonna be launching a new feature which is gonna allow instructors to guide— to basically list their upcoming classes because we know that, you know, everyone in the community will resonate with different instructors. Not everyone's gonna resonate with the same person. So we wanna give our instructors the opportunity to list their classes. And then everybody who's in there that just wants to enjoy the breath, they can pick and choose who they resonate most with. So that's going to be coming very soon. So I highly encourage all of you to download the app if you haven't already, and you'll be able to find all those features in there. So thank you, Claudia. That was amazing.

You're welcome.

Great session. And as we mentioned before, like, we have— Claudia is one of the first people that did our instructor training. She's one of the mentors. So For anybody that is going through the instructor training, you already know this. And if you're not and you're interested in going through the instructor training and you want to learn from Claudia directly, you have that opportunity because there are 3 mentors in the instructor training, Claudia, Nigel, and David. And basically you get some mentorship calls as you go through it and they guide you through the training and they help you really find your voice and find how you want to present this to the world.

So anybody that I can— Sorry, something that I want to add with Gary's— what Gary's saying is, if you just like, if you, you know, when you have that feeling in your stomach that you just don't go away of the session, like regular, you just something is, something is happening, right? Something that I can say about our sales team, if you make the choice to book a call, To see if this program is for you, you cannot even— I mean, the sales team is amazing. They're not going to sell you anything. They're going to be mostly guiding you through this program if this program is for you or not. And if you, together with that person, feel that this is something that you want and need to do, they will help you to get in. And it's just the best way to really understand if this is for you or not is just booking a call with our sales team. And making sure that you will be taking care of what are your needs, because this is not for everyone. But if you're already feeling that, you know, I would love to do this, believe me, I didn't have a clue 5 years ago that I'm going to be doing this in my life. I worked 20 years in marketing, and I was only almost 48, and I think, okay, I'm just going to retire in 10 years, and that's it. And then suddenly these guys came into a Facebook festival. And, and I fall in love with this, and I think, I think that I need to share this with other women. I just need to, I need to share this, this magic and this, this medicine with other women, right? I cannot just take it for my own. I need to share this. And that is how my career started, and this is what I do now as a living. And, uh, and it's been amazing and been very successful financially too, like making more money than before, like crazy. Believe it or not, just because I embrace my power. I embrace my power and you are powerful too.

Absolutely. Fabia definitely embraces her power. Every time I meet her, she's— she brings this amazing energy into the room. So it's awesome. And some people were asking for the link in here. So Monica is going to share that. And we have a special offer going on this week because of— in honor of the Breath Fest. So the reason why we like doing these Breath Fests is first of all, we bring the community together. We get to give back to the community, give everyone these incredible sessions from different instructors. But most importantly, we love highlighting our instructors. We love showing off how amazing they are, right? So Claudia is, is one of the ones that's breadth-first. Stephen did the opening session. He was the very first person to do our instructor training. We had Brooke yesterday who organizes a bunch of retreats for us. So there's some amazing instructors doing these sessions. And we love to share their magic with the world, and they love to share it as well, of course. So like I said at the beginning of the call, like, if, if you really resonate with Claudia and you want to, you know, learn more from her, definitely give her a follow on Instagram. I don't know, Claudia, if you want to share your handle.

Thank you, Gary. I will. I will. Just give me 1 second to get, to get that. Yes, you can follow. If someone here speaks Spanish, by the way, if we have any Spanish speaker, You can do the course with me as a mentor, and you can do all the assessment in Spanish. By the way, this course is in English, but I will make sure that I will guide you, and I can be with you and take your hand to also become an instructor in Spanish. So I have 2 accounts. Applause for me. Thank you. I have 2 accounts. One is in Spanish and one is in English. Okay, the English is Smaller, but I'm working on that. So I'm going to share now the one in English. Here is Claudia Solís the Wise, because I am wiser than ever. So let me just click here, and there you go. That's my link to my English account. I don't know why. No, wait. Why this is not going through? Monica, I don't know what's happening.

Ah.

Make sure you're sharing with everyone.

Yeah. Let's see now. No. It says that it's only one person in the waiting room, but I am not in the waiting room because I'm watching all of you. Okay. I don't know. I don't know, Monica. Maybe you can help me. Please, please. Claudia Solís the Wise in English. Claudia Solís Terapia in Spanish. Okay. That are my accounts.

So somebody was asking if we do breath fest yearly. We actually we do it several times a year. So Monica said twice a year. Yeah, sometimes we do twice a year, but. Other times we get inspired to do it more and we do it more. It's just whenever we feel like it's time, it's time to give back, it's time to share this with more people, we put on a Breath Fest. So traditionally, yeah, it's been around 2 times a year, but we wanna start doing more of these cuz we, we know that it just brings so many people together and that's what we love to do. We're a community, we're a massive community and we're trying to expand even more. We started like 3 people on a little beach in Koh Phangan, like a bunch of hippies breathing together. And now we've expanded around the world. Now we're, we're working with Mindvalley. We're the official breathwork school of Mindvalley. Uh, we do— we had had a study done with Cambridge University. You know, we've been on main stages all over the world, not just ourselves as the official, you know, Soul and Breath team, but also instructors. We have incredible instructors going all over the world and doing being in concerts, even in music festivals, guiding breathwork sessions. So this is a community and we'd like to bring the community together as much as possible. And that's why we love doing these BreathFests as well. And in the future, we're gonna try to do these actually in person. We do retreats, of course, but those are a bit smaller. Those, we usually get like 20 people to those. But we wanna do like these big breath festivals in person, have everybody together. I think it's gonna be incredible once we launch the first one of that.

Is anyone here in the room thinking of becoming an instructor? And we have one hand up like Karena. Karena, I think— I don't know if you want to say something. Karena Brown, I see your hand up.

If anyone—

yeah, I don't know where's Karena. Ah, she took her hand out. If anyone here is thinking on becoming an instructor, and if you have any question, please, this is the moment. Or if you have anything to say, to share about this new reality that you can bring into your life, please let us know. We have a few minutes more to maybe people who are willing to thinking on. becoming instructors. And if you want to get deeper into this session, please download the app. The Summer Breath app is amazing. It's just like the Netflix with breathwork. Summer Breath Netflix with a bunch of different exercises, with live sessions, entrainment breathwork journeys, shorter ones, longer ones. So that is the way to really get into the habit. Because Soma Breath is not only breathwork, guys. It's a lifestyle. I have to say, your lifestyle will change if you start doing this every single day. Okay, we have Purash who already booked a Zoom call. Yes, I will see you in the calls as a mentor, hopefully. And Courtney, please make sure that you book your session, your cell call too. Who else? Yes, Courtney, you are very welcome if you want to send me a personal message in my Instagram. Yes, of course. Okay, I think we have everyone. I love you all. I love you too, Zoom user. I don't know who you are. And remember that, that Also, this beautiful course. Actually, when I started doing this course, I wasn't really thinking of becoming an instructor. Actually, I was really fascinated with the science behind. I was navigating a surgery like menopause, and I was so fascinated about how I was feeling with the with the with the practice. So I really wanted to understand the biology and the physiology. part of the breath. So that is something that we have a lot in Summer Breath. And if you want to become an instructor, you are going to read a lot of science. Also, the only Summer Breath— the only breathwork school has been working with Cambridge University, right, Gary?

Yes, as far as I know, yes, we are the— you know, we had them reach out to us a few years ago. And they just thought that what we were doing was incredible. And they decided to do a study through our 21-day journey. They took over 100 students through the 21-day journey and plugged brain scanners on all of them while they were doing the sessions. And they found some incredible results that we didn't even think were gonna happen, right? Like, we, we had no idea about this. These guys came and they put these, these brain scanners on and they found that within 20 minutes of doing a breathwork session, one of these breathwork sessions, you get similar results in your brain that you would get from MDMA or psilocybin therapy that they use for people with depression. So it's just incredible what you can do with the breath. It is really the remote control for your nervous system. And there's so many other amazing things that you can do with it. I wish we could do more studies. Of course, they cost a lot of money. So we're waiting for, you know, more universities to, to show interest in this and to do these types of studies on what we're teaching.

Yeah. And also something that is very different about Soma Breath, and if you are very curious like me, I tried so many other breathwork modalities, and Soma Breath is the only one, in my opinion, that it's really focused on the health and how we need to breathe to be healthy. So that part as an instructor is very, is very interesting if you want to become like a Soma Breath therapist, for example, right? So you are going to work with the mechanism of the breath so you can also help people to be more healthy, not only giving them journeys, hypnosis, or working with some traumas or limitations. It's also about the mechanism, right? Like how we need to breathe correctly. And for me, navigating menopause and working with women in menopause is so fascinating that the breath, only the breath— there's so many ways that you can breathe to get out of hot flashes, brain fogs, have more energy in the brain, have more energy in your body. Everything is around the breath. So it's, it's really interesting that as much as you are, the creativity that you can bring into your instructor course and becoming an instructor is incredible. You can do, like someone says there, you can do raves if you want to dance. You can become a DJ, Summer Breath DJ, and do breathwork with music. You can work with trauma or with emotions. Healing the roots or connecting with different audiences, you can go to corporations as well. Because hey, what is the number one problem now in corporations? Something that entrepreneurs know a lot— stress, right? Chronic stress and sometimes losing the focus, right? So it is fascinating how you can create very customized sessions and very customized Activities and experiences for your clients. So doesn't matter if you can, if you're an accountant, if you think that this is for you, you it is for you. Doesn't matter where is your where you're coming from or you're tuning from. Okay.
