IMD BREATHWORK - FAQ

  • How many sessions in total do I need?

    It’s different for everyone. Many people feel a big shift after just one session, but we typically see people attend weekly for 5 to 7 sessions. After that, most continue with occasional sessions for maintenance or when something new comes up they’d like to work through.

  • How often can I do sessions?

    It depends on how you’re feeling after each session. Everyone processes differently, so if you feel grounded and ready, you’re welcome to join the next one. If you’re still processing, give yourself time. As a general guideline, once a week is a safe and effective rhythm for most people.

  • What makes IMD Breathwork different?

    IMD Breathwork combines ancient breathing techniques with modern digital sound healing and release therapy. The experience is immersive and uniquely designed to engage the limbic system, helping you release deep-rooted trauma, emotional stress, and anxiety. Many say it’s unlike anything they’ve ever tried before.

  • Do I need any experience?

    Not at all. Our certified instructors guide you through everything you need to know, even if it’s your first time. You’ll leave each session with tools to continue your practice and support your healing journey.

  • What happens in a session?

    Each journey is rooted in science. You won’t be asked to share, dance, or hold hands. We start by teaching you the science behind breathwork and setting clear expectations. Then, you lie back with an eye mask and headphones and experience a fully guided 75-minute session. Afterward, we explain how to integrate and continue the practice. When you’re ready, you’re free to go.

  • Why do people get emotional during breathwork?

    Breathing this way changes the levels of CO₂ in your body, which can redirect oxygen from the thinking part of your brain (the prefrontal cortex) to the limbic system, where your emotions and memories are stored. This helps bring emotions safely to the surface. We then encourage somatic release, like crying, screaming, shaking, and moving, to let those emotions move through and out of the body.

  • Do I have to share after the session?

    No, sharing isn’t part of the IMD Breathwork experience. In fact, we actively discourage it. After a session, your brain is in a powerful theta state and highly open to suggestion, so we recommend taking quiet time to yourself. Go do something you love, avoid anything triggering, and give your body and mind space to integrate the experience properly.

  • Is breathwork safe for everyone?

    Yes, IMD Breathwork is very safe for most people. If you have a medical condition, please check our waiver before booking or speak to your instructor first. The only absolute contraindication is pregnancy. For all other conditions, we can offer a lighter breathing technique so you can still experience the journey safely and effectively.

  • New List Does it work if it’s not in my native language?

    Yes. The breathwork alone is extremely powerful and works regardless of language. Our sound journeys use music, frequencies, and effects to deepen the experience, even without full understanding. Instructors can also use simple physical cues to support you throughout.

  • What should I bring to a session?

    Just yourself, an open mind, and ideally a yoga matt, eye mask and a water bottle. We’ll provide the headphones.

  • What does IMD stand for?

    IMD stands for Immersive Multidimensional. our sessions combine powerful breathwork with layered music, sound design, release therapy and guided coaching to create deep emotional and physical shifts.

  • New List Will I be able to stop if it gets too intense?

    Yes. You’re in full control the entire time. If anything feels overwhelming, we teach you a breathing technique that can take you out of the journey very fast and then you can return to normal breathing at any point.

  • Is it normal to feel tired afterwards?

    Totally. It’s common to feel a bit physically or emotionally drained after a session, that’s your body processing, releasing and the fact you just did a workout for your diaphragm and intercostal muscles. Rest, hydrate, and be kind to yourself.

  • How is this different from meditation?

    While meditation focuses on stillness and observation, IMD Breathwork uses conscious connected breathing to actively shift your state. It’s not about quieting the mind, but engaging the body, nervous system, and subconscious to release stored emotions and trauma. The result is often more intense, physical, and transformative than traditional meditation.

  • Can I do it alone at home?

    Our live sessions are designed for safety and support, especially when working through trauma. And therefore we would never recommend doing an extended conscious connected breathing session either at home or online. However, we do offer shorter guided journeys for at-home use, called the 10 minute fix.
