Celeste Rose Somatics offers programs, workshops and events in mindful breath biology and practice. These sessions have been designed with a multisensory
approach to build emotional and physical resiliency and endurance levels using specific breathing sequences, nervous system regulation practices,
heart coherence, cold therapy and brain entrainment music. These sessions involve guided rhythmic breathing and breath retention to alter your oxygen and carbon
dioxide levels. This conscious breathwork practice known as “Intermittent Hypoxia Training” creates a positive stress response within the body that
physically and emotionally releases stress on a cellular level. Please visit our website for all the health benefits of IHT at www.celesterosesomatics.com.
These specific programs, workshops or events balance the mind/body creating coherence of the vascular system, autonomic nervous system and immune
system. We advise anyone who has concerns to speak to a medical professional before they begin IHT, Buteyko and/or any other form of breathwork.
