Pause Breathwork Exercises

As someone who usually avoids guided meditations (I'm easily distracted by the facilitator's voice or style), I was surprised by how much I loved this app. Sam's voice is incredibly calming and her guidance strikes the perfect balance – she sets the stage without being overly directive, allowing me to connect with my own intuition. I especially appreciate how the app is organized by time and theme; I can easily find a 5-minute "energy boost" session in the morning, or a longer "releasing stress" session before bed. Pause has helped me shift my energy and feel more empowered to handle life's challenges. I initially tried the free trial and thought I could do breathwork on my own, but I quickly realized the guided sessions offer a depth and focus I couldn't achieve solo. I highly recommend giving Pause a try – you won't regret it!

I see the value in meditation, but sometimes I just can’t convince myself to sit down and do it. Breathwork is this magical shortcut - I get the same results of meditating but way quicker and waaaayyyyy easier. Even if I don’t feel like it, I can convince myself to breathe for 3 minutes and it always makes me feel better. I have a 3 year old and a 16 month old and when I take a few minutes to breathe with Sam during nap or before the babies get up in the morning, I feel like I can do it. I can take on the day. This app is one of my most important tools in my mama toolbox ❤️

Before embracing Breathwork and beginning a genuine journey back to my body, I didn’t realize how numb, anxious, and unsafe I felt in my body and my own space. Having these practices to turn to at any moment is like having a pocket sized lifeline that will always, without fail, bring me back to myself. I am still on this journey and there are certainly still days where I struggle more than I’d like to admit, but Pause Breathwork has helped me hold myself with grace and presence and I couldn’t be more grateful. If you’re curious, even just a little, don’t hesitate to give it a try. When you show up for yourself, genuinely and openly, there is nothing you can’t do and your breath is the quickest way to help you get tapped back in <3
