Breathwork Participation and Medical Waiver

---

Breathwork includes both up-regulating and down-regulating practices, each with distinct intentions and effects.

Expansion Breathwork sessions may combine conscious connected breathing and embodied movement with grounding and calming practices to support emotional awareness, nervous system regulation, and integration.

While breathwork is generally safe and often deeply restorative, it can bring about physiological and emotional shifts as awareness, breath, and sensation move through the body. Each experience is unique.

You are responsible for honouring your own limits and caring for your physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing throughout the process.

Nothing in this waiver is intended to exclude, restrict, or modify any rights or remedies available to you under Australian Consumer Law.

During a Breathwork session, it is common to notice sensations such as:

• Tingling in the hands, face, feet, or body
• Light-headedness or changes in temperature
• Trembling, shaking, or spontaneous movement
• Emotional expression such as laughter or tears
• Sensations of energy, warmth, or vibration

These responses are generally associated with shifts in breathing patterns and the release of physical or emotional tension. You are encouraged to remain present, breathe within your capacity, and pause or rest if needed. You may adjust or stop your participation at any time.

Breathwork may not be suitable if you have, or have recently experienced, any of the following conditions:

• Cardiovascular conditions or uncontrolled high blood pressure
• Glaucoma or retinal conditions
• Epilepsy or seizure disorders
• Severe respiratory conditions that are not well managed
• Recent surgery, injury, or fractures
• Severe mental health conditions including psychosis, schizophrenia, or unmanaged bipolar disorder
• Pregnancy

If you are unsure whether breathwork is appropriate for you at this time, please consult your healthcare provider or contact Mark prior to booking.
