Breathe Together Sunday with SOMA Breath
Every Sunday, people around the world take one simple hour to breathe together. Work quiets down, the mind softens, and the body has an opportunity to settle. It’s a friendly space to reset — nothing to prove and nothing to perform.
Breathe Together Sunday is a free weekly online session from SOMA Breath. A certified instructor guides the group through rhythmic breathing, gentle movement, music and periods of rest designed to help participants reconnect with a steadier center.
No previous breathwork experience or special equipment is required. You may keep your camera off and observe, or participate more actively at your own pace. It’s a grounded introduction for anyone curious about breathwork — and a recurring weekly practice for people who already know they enjoy it.
Approximately 60 minutes on Zoom
Registration confirmations include the session time and local-time conversion.
Free Guided Breathing Sessions & Online Breathwork Classes
You don’t have to know the word “breathwork” to benefit from these events. Many people are simply looking for a guided breathing exercise, a way to slow down after a stressful day, a breathing class for meditation, or someone to gently lead them through a practice they haven’t tried before.
Online breathing sessions range from very gentle breath awareness and slow rhythmic breathing to more active practices involving music, repeated patterns, conscious connected breathing or carefully guided breath holds.
That range matters. A quiet five-minute breathing exercise and an hour-long intensive breathwork journey aren’t the same experience. Read the event description, choose an intensity that suits you, and remember that you can slow down, modify the technique or return to normal breathing whenever you need to.
Why Attend a Free Online Breathwork Event?
Breathing happens automatically, but most of us rarely notice how stress, posture, emotion, physical activity and everyday habits influence the way we breathe.
A guided breathwork session creates an intentional period to slow down, notice the body and experiment with changing the rhythm or pattern of the breath. Depending on the technique, people may use breathwork to support relaxation, meditation, focus, emotional awareness, energy or a greater sense of presence.
Free virtual classes make it easier to explore different methods before deciding whether a particular style, teacher or longer training is right for you. There’s no travel required, and many sessions need nothing more than a quiet room and an internet connection.
Some events are calm and meditative. Others use music, rhythmic breathing, movement, visualization, breath holds or longer connected-breathing patterns to create a more immersive experience. Many include grounding, reflection or questions afterward.
Types of Breathwork You May Find in Free Online Events
“Breathwork” is an umbrella term. The actual breathing pattern — and the intensity of the experience — can vary enormously from one event to another.
Gentle practices that focus on noticing the breath, slowing down and allowing the diaphragm and abdomen to move more freely.
Slow, even-paced breathing that is often used for relaxation, meditation and autonomic regulation.
A structured pattern that divides inhaling, holding, exhaling and pausing into equal or similar counts.
Yoga breathing practices ranging from gentle alternate-nostril breathing to more energizing techniques and controlled breath retention.
Breathing synchronized with music or counted rhythms, sometimes combined with movement, visualization or breath holds.
A continuous breathing pattern with little or no pause between inhale and exhale, often used in longer experiential sessions.
Approaches that emphasize body awareness, choice, pacing and the ability to modify or stop rather than pushing toward intensity.
Techniques that intentionally include pauses after inhaling or exhaling. These vary significantly in intensity and aren’t appropriate for everyone.
Longer experiential methods that may use connected breathing, music and emotional or spiritual frameworks.
Breathing combined with meditation, chakra practices, visualization, spiritual intention or subtle-energy frameworks.
How to Choose the Right Breathwork Session
You don’t need to decide which kind of breathwork is objectively “best.” It makes more sense to ask what kind of experience you want and how much intensity feels appropriate for you today.
Look for slow guided breathing, coherent breathing, breath awareness or gentle pranayama.
Breath awareness, alternate-nostril breathing or structured pranayama may be a comfortable fit.
Choose rhythmic breathing, music-based breathwork or a more energizing guided practice.
Connected breathing or longer transformational sessions may appeal to you if you’re comfortable with a more intense experience.
Start with a gentle beginner class. You can always explore something more intense later.
Read the contraindications before joining. More intense breathwork isn’t automatically better or more effective.
Breathwork, the Nervous System & Why Breathing Patterns Matter
Breathing is unusual because it happens automatically, yet we can also change it deliberately. That gives breathing practices a direct way to alter respiratory rate, depth and rhythm for a period of time.
Slow breathing has been studied in relation to relaxation, autonomic regulation, heart-rate variability and attention. Faster or deeper breathing can create a very different physiological experience because it may change carbon-dioxide levels in the blood.
That’s one reason different kinds of breathwork shouldn’t all be treated as interchangeable. Slow paced breathing, rapid breathing and long breath holds can produce very different sensations and may have different safety considerations.
Some facilitators also use spiritual, energetic or emotional frameworks to describe what happens during breathwork. Those perspectives may be meaningful within a particular practice, but claims about chakras, “energy release,” stored trauma or altered states should be distinguished from established medical evidence.
Beginner’s Guide: What to Expect in an Online Breathwork Class
If you’re new to breathwork, the number of different methods can feel confusing. You may come across pranayama, coherent breathing, box breathing, conscious connected breathing, rhythmic breathwork, rebirthing, transformational breathing or techniques that combine music and breath holds.
You don’t need to understand every approach before beginning. Most introductory classes explain the breathing pattern step by step, offer modifications and encourage participants to stay within a comfortable range.
The facilitator will usually tell you which position works best for the technique. Comfort and safe breathing matter more than posture.
Many virtual sessions allow cameras off. More intensive or interactive events may ask participants to remain visible for support.
They’re useful when music or rhythmic audio is part of the experience, but most sessions don’t require them.
Some practices use nasal breathing, some use the mouth and some alternate. Follow the facilitator rather than assuming one pattern applies to every style.
If you feel uncomfortable, dizzy or overwhelmed, slow down or return to your normal breathing pattern.
Breathwork isn’t a competition. Tingling, emotion or altered sensations aren’t proof that a session “worked.”
For a first experience, consider a gentle relaxation practice, short guided breathing session or beginner-specific workshop. Notice how your body responds during and after the practice rather than trying to force a particular result.
Comfort and safety matter more than intensity.
Breathwork Safety & Contraindications
Gentle breath awareness and comfortable paced breathing are very different from intensive hyperventilation-style practices or prolonged breath holds.
During faster or deeper breathing, temporary sensations such as tingling, lightheadedness, warmth, muscle tension or changes in perception can occur. Some of these effects can result from changes in carbon-dioxide levels. If a sensation feels uncomfortable or overwhelming, slow down and return to normal breathing.
Intensive breathing methods and extended breath holds may not be appropriate for everyone. Check the host’s contraindications carefully and consult a qualified healthcare professional before participating if you are pregnant or have cardiovascular disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, epilepsy or another seizure disorder, serious respiratory concerns, recent surgery or another condition that could be affected by significant changes in breathing.
Advanced Breathwork Workshops, Trainings & Facilitator Events
Experienced practitioners may also find deeper workshops, multi-day breathwork summits, immersive journeys and professional trainings on this calendar.
These events may explore advanced pranayama, longer conscious connected-breathing sessions, trauma-informed facilitation, altered-state practices, somatic awareness, energy work or the physiology and science of breathing.
Some trainings are intended for coaches, therapists, yoga teachers, healers, wellness professionals or people considering breathwork facilitator certification. Others are designed strictly for personal exploration and don’t lead to a professional credential.
Review event descriptions carefully before joining an advanced practice. Longer breath holds, rapid breathing and intensive connected-breathing methods may not be appropriate for everyone. Qualified facilitators should explain contraindications, modifications and when participants should stop or return to normal breathing.

FAQ About Free Breathwork Events, Classes & Guided Breathing
Skip to a Question
What Is This Free Breathwork Calendar For?
This is a continually updated guide to free online breathwork events, including guided breathing sessions, classes, workshops, webinars, weekly community practices, summits and introductory trainings.
What Is an Online Breathwork Session?
An online breathwork session is a live or prerecorded guided breathing practice delivered through a computer, phone or tablet. A facilitator teaches a breathing pattern and may combine it with meditation, music, movement, visualization, breath holds or periods of rest.
Do You Have Breathwork Events Near Me in November 2026?
Yes — virtually. Because the events on this calendar are online, you can join live breathwork classes, guided breathing sessions and workshops from home rather than limiting yourself to facilitators in your city. No travel is required.
What Types of Breathwork Are Included?
Events may include breath awareness, diaphragmatic breathing, coherent or resonance breathing, box breathing, pranayama, rhythmic breathwork, conscious connected breathing, somatic breathwork, transformational practices and breathing combined with music, meditation, visualization or movement.
Are These Breathwork Events Really Free?
Yes. Every event listed includes a free way to attend or participate. Some hosts may offer optional paid recordings, memberships, courses, certifications or deeper programs afterward, but those purchases aren’t required to receive the free experience described in the listing.
Are Online Breathwork Classes Suitable for Beginners?
Many are designed specifically for beginners and require no previous breathwork experience. If you’re new, start with a gentle guided session and review each event description for intensity, recommended experience and health-related precautions.
How Long Does an Online Breathwork Session Usually Last?
Sessions vary widely. A simple guided breathing class may last 15 to 30 minutes, while group breathwork sessions often run around 45 to 90 minutes. Workshops, summits and deeper experiential journeys can last longer.
Should I Breathe Through My Nose or Mouth During Breathwork?
It depends on the technique. Many gentle practices emphasize nasal breathing, while some connected or transformational styles intentionally use the mouth. Follow the facilitator’s instructions rather than assuming one breathing pattern is correct for every method.
Why Do I Feel Tingling or Lightheaded During Breathwork?
Faster or deeper breathing can change carbon-dioxide levels and temporarily cause sensations such as tingling, lightheadedness, warmth or muscle tension. If you feel uncomfortable, slow down or return to normal breathing. Intense or persistent symptoms shouldn’t simply be pushed through.
Can Breathwork Make You Emotional?
Some people report emotions surfacing during or after breathwork, while others simply feel relaxed or notice very little. There isn’t a particular emotional response you need to have for a session to be meaningful.
What Is Conscious Connected Breathing?
Conscious connected breathing uses a continuous circular breathing pattern with little or no pause between inhale and exhale. It is commonly used in longer experiential breathwork sessions and can feel significantly more intense than slow relaxation breathing.
What Is Coherent Breathing?
Coherent breathing is a slow, steady breathing practice in which inhalation and exhalation follow a comfortable rhythm. It is generally much gentler than rapid or connected breathwork and is often used for relaxation, meditation and autonomic regulation.
What’s the Difference Between Breathwork and Pranayama?
Pranayama refers to traditional yogic breathing practices with their own history, philosophy and methods. “Breathwork” is a much broader modern umbrella term that can include pranayama as well as many contemporary breathing systems.
What’s the Difference Between Breathwork and Meditation?
Meditation often involves observing experience without deliberately changing the breath. Breathwork intentionally changes how you breathe. The two practices can overlap, and many guided sessions combine breathing techniques with meditation or mindfulness.
Do I Need Special Equipment?
Usually not. Most sessions require only a computer or mobile device, stable internet connection and a comfortable place to sit or lie down. Headphones, water, a blanket, eye mask or yoga mat may make the experience more comfortable but are usually optional.
Can I Keep My Camera Off During an Online Breathwork Event?
Policies vary by facilitator, but many virtual breathwork events allow cameras off. Some intensive or interactive sessions may ask participants to remain visible so the facilitator can provide better support.
Can I Do Breathwork Lying Down?
Many experiential breathwork sessions are done lying down, while other practices are better performed seated. Follow the facilitator’s instructions and choose a position that allows you to breathe comfortably and safely.
Should I Eat Before a Breathwork Session?
Facilitators commonly suggest avoiding a heavy meal immediately before a more active breathwork session because vigorous breathing can feel uncomfortable on a very full stomach. Follow the event host’s preparation guidance and don’t ignore your own nutritional or medical needs.
What Time Zone Are Breathwork Events Listed In?
Unless an individual listing states otherwise, calendar times are shown in Pacific Time. Always confirm the time zone on the registration page and convert it to your local time before attending.
What If I Miss a Live Breathwork Event?
Replay availability depends on the host. Some workshops provide a limited-time recording, while experiential breathwork sessions may recommend live attendance for safety, guidance and community support. Check the registration page and follow-up emails for details.
Is Online Breathwork as Effective as In-Person Breathwork?
A virtual class can teach and guide the same breathing pattern you might use in person, and many participants value the convenience and privacy of practicing at home. In-person sessions may provide closer observation and immediate physical presence from the facilitator, which can matter more during intensive practices.
How Often Can Beginners Practice Breathwork?
It depends on the technique. Gentle comfortable breathing practices can be very different from intensive connected breathing or prolonged breath holds. Beginners are generally better served by starting gently, noticing how they respond and following the frequency guidance given by a qualified facilitator.
What Might I Feel During Breathwork?
Experiences vary. Some people feel calmer, more focused, energized, emotional, warm, light or deeply relaxed. Certain breathing techniques can also cause temporary tingling, lightheadedness or other physical sensations. Slow down, return to normal breathing or rest whenever needed.
Is Breathwork Safe for Everyone?
Gentle breathing awareness is generally much less intense than rapid breathing or extended breath holds. Intensive methods may not be appropriate for everyone. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before participating if you are pregnant or have cardiovascular disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, epilepsy or a seizure disorder, serious respiratory concerns, recent surgery or another condition that could be affected by significant changes in breathing.
How Should I Prepare for a Breathwork Session?
Choose a quiet and comfortable space, wear loose clothing, have water nearby and read the facilitator’s preparation and safety instructions before beginning. If the practice is more intensive, the host may provide additional guidance.
Are These Breathwork Events Religious?
Most aren’t religious. Some may draw inspiration from yoga, meditation, spiritual traditions, chakra practices or energy work. Review each description to find an approach that feels appropriate for your preferences and beliefs.
Can I Attend From Outside the United States?
Usually, yes. Most online breathwork events welcome international participants. Be sure to convert the event time and confirm that the platform being used is available in your location.
Can I Submit My Free Breathwork Event?
Yes. Visit the “List Your Event” link at the bottom of the site for current submission options, pricing and publishing requirements. Relevant free online breathwork classes, workshops and community sessions are welcome for consideration.
