"Breath Work was impactful after my very first session.  I had no experience with the practice and didn't know what to expect.
I trusted Pauline when she urged me to attend a class and access the experience for myself.
Initially my primary challenge was to not overthink the experience, set aside expectations and judgement.  This self-imposed distraction evaporated right at the start when Paulina and Guillaume began the session they jointly led by explaining the benefits and process of Soma Breath Work.
I've learned in successive sessions that, for me, Breath Work is not a cognitive activity but rather a physical and emotional letting go, allowing my subconscious to reveal and express itself to me.  It's a very enlightening and fulfilling experience.
When practicing the combination of Yoga and Breath Work I experience an overall sense of calm.  It manifests itself sometimes emotionally, sometimes cognitively, oftentimes physically and generally it's a blend of all three.   
This calmness gives me the ability to identify and silence the moments of mental negativity, the acknowledgement of less healthy habits and behaviors, many of which may be unconscious.   
Describe it as you may, the benefits of participating in both Yoga and Breath Work are very individual.  It's an experience that awakens all the senses to different degrees at different times.  And for me, at the end of each session, I'm in a different place, a better place, that I may not have realized I was headed to."
