welcome to nexus breath! my name is JR and i deeply believe that breath
work is one of if not the most important practices we can incorporate into
our daily lives. i know, i know. seems a bit over-the-top... the truth is i
spent so much of my early life not feeling connected to myself or the world
around me. i relied on substances and disorderly behaviors to cope. then i
discovered breathwork; the impact is had and connection created. my
passion is help people self-regulate and use their breath to reduce stress,
find deep relaxation & inspiration and most importantly gain some insight
into what’s happening in their physical, emotional and energetic bodies.
NEXUS. connecting: our physical bodies to our emotional and energetic
bodies; to our breath and most importantly to ourselves. i invite you to
come discover the magic of breathwork for yourself.
why breathwork?
i truly believe that breath is medicine. as a society we are consumed with
overstimulation. our calendars, to-do lists and devices have put us in a
dysregulated state of overwhelm and stress. we often lose touch with
ourselves. we can use conscious-circular breathing patterns to improve
sleep, digestion, mood and emotional regulation. we can shift from a
stuck “fight or flight” state into “rest and digest” in just one session. one
session can boost our circulatory and immune systems. we can harness
the power of the breath to connect to parts of our physical and energetic
bodies. we can allow ourselves to gently explore the places our conscious
mind does not always allow us to go, often giving us clarity. we often
experience a wide range of emotions, many tapping into a euphoric state
(either during and/or after a session) and some giving ourselves
permission to feel feelings of grief, sadness or even joy we may have not
allowed ourselves to fully feel. as one of my teachers often says ‘we have
to feel it before we can heal it.’ most people experience a sense of
increased self-awareness and self-compassion... all through the breath.
- “My breath journey with JR was awesome. His calm and peaceful demeanor allowed me to open up and trust. His wisdom and knowledge around breath and technique makes it easy for all levels. JR has the unique ability to hold space through voice while breathing, making vocal exploration inviting, safe and impactful. If you are nervous, new to breath or looking to process some big or heavy stuff, JR is your guy!”

- “My breathwork session with JR was outstanding. I
felt an incredible amount of trust and comfort in his
presence which allowed me to open up and let go. I
released built up stress that I didn’t even know I was
carrying. I’d highly recommend his sessions.”

“My breathwork session with JR was truly a transformative experience. I have personally done various styles of breathwork but none compared to the deeply powerful experience that transpired during our individual session. JR does an amazing job at creating a safe space to dive deep. I was truly blown away. It exceeded my expectations. I recommend practicing with JR no matter where you are in your journey I am beyond grateful and definitely will be returning as much as possible."

the process
- Most of our session will be spent in a
circular, double inhale/single exhale
breathe. The thinking brain begins to quiet
and the body enters an altered sense of
consciousness - often dropping into our
emotional and energetic bodies.
II. Active breath exercises
- Once the active breathing is done you are
invited to journey. The body revels in a
meditative state before returning to the
physical body. The integration process
continues with some aromatherapy and
sound/energy work.
III. Journey & Integrate
After a short intro and breath tutorial
participants are invited to make themselves
comfortable and settle onto their backs.
- We begin with a guided meditation, breath
warmups and functional breath exercises to
prepare for an active breath immersion.
