What we’re about

Hi! Welcome to Breathe With Me. This is a group for sweet people who want to meetup and connect with others who are interested in healthy breathing. We offer an holistic approach to efficient breathing, which will focus on our mind, body and spirit.

Breath is life. With each breath every cell receives oxygen. This oxygen is converted to energy by the cell, keeping it alive and thus keeping us alive. Less oxygen to the cells means less energy is produced by the cell, and we in turn, feel less energized.

Being stressed or over weight produces breathing that is shallow and restricted. These shallow, quick breaths signal to our body that it is in distress and the sympathetic nervous system goes into fight-or-flight mode. What results is pain in the neck and shoulders, increased heart rate, raised blood pressure, inefficient sleep, anxiety, impatience, panic attacks, as well as a constant production of cortisol lending to weight gain.

When the body and mind are calm, breath is deeper and cells are fortified by oxygen. We are under the influence of the parasympathetic nervous system, which produces a relaxing effect, lessening stress and over-thinking. More oxygen means we will have a sharper mind, more focus, more energy, lower blood pressure, lower heart rate, lower cortisone production, and better digestion.

Some of the different classes, workshops, events and outings that we will offer are:

Meditation, yoga, pranayama classes (yogic breathing exercises), breathwork workshops, Vagus nerve exploration, sound baths, kirtans, gratitude emphasis
Aromatherapy classes and workshops
Dinners in healthy environmentally-conscious restaurants, fruit & veggie picking, picnics, potlucks, nutrition workshops, cooking classes
Outdoor actives such as hiking, and walking meditations in nature
Ways to sleep more efficiently using breathing exercises and essential oils
Challenges for weight loss and to slow drinking and recreational drug use

This group offers a supportive, judgement-free environment. Our team of loyal and dedicated organizers take pride in making everyone feel welcome. Come to an event and join our caring group of friends.

No previous breathwork, meditation, aromatherapy, or yoga experience needed.

Many events will be free. But for others, we may ask for a small fee to cover Meetup expenses.

*No-shows and last-minute cancellations put our ability to book amazing venues at risk. We have a strict 3 strikes and you're out for 6 months policy. You must update your RSVP and cancel within 24 hours, or that is a strike. Your event organizers and other members will appreciate your courtesy, especially when there's a waitlist.

Your ideas are always welcome. And if you want to bring blissful healthy breathing events to our collective...lets talk.
