the roots Journey

The deeper the roots,
the more fully we grow

Next Group Breathwork Session - February 26
An in-person experience in Los Angeles

We are living in times that deeply impact our sense of safety — both collectively and individually.

Even when life “looks fine” on the outside, many of our bodies are holding tension, alertness, or exhaustion beneath the surface.
Our nervous systems have been navigating uncertainty, change, overstimulation, and emotional weight — often without enough space to fully land.

In your everyday life, when are you responding from calm and trust, and when from alertness or survival?

Safety is a lived experience in the body And without it, healing, rest, and connection remain limited.

When the body doesn’t feel safe, life is lived from survival.

You may look calm on the outside, yet inside there is tension, vigilance, or a quiet sense of urgency. Rest feels unfamiliar. Trust feels risky. Presence feels fleeting.

From this place, we don’t truly inhabit the present moment. We anticipate. We brace. We manage.

Not because something is wrong with us — but because the nervous system learned that staying alert was necessary.

Safety is not a belief. It’s not something you can think your way into.

ROOTS OF SAFETY

Helping the body remember how to feel safe

Because healing doesn’t happen in isolation.
Healing happens in resonance.

When safety is felt in the presence of others, the nervous system remembers what it already knows: how to regulate, how to trust, how to heal.

From this place, presence becomes available. And from presence, life begins to feel different — more grounded, more spacious, more alive.

ROOTS OF SAFETY is a space intentionally designed to support the nervous system in slowing down, settling, and reconnecting with a deeper sense of inner stability.


Not by forcing release.
Not by pushing through.
But by creating the conditions for the body to feel supported enough to soften.

Here, nothing is asked of you. There is no fixing, no performing, no becoming someone else.

Instead, through conscious connected breathwork and a carefully held environment, the body is invited to shift out of survival states and into rest, regulation, and repair — at its own pace.

A space held with care

I’m Estefanía arias, a trauma-informed breathwork facilitator.

For a long time, I didn’t really know myself.
Not because I wasn’t doing inner work — but because my body didn’t feel safe.

Living in constant alert distorted everything.
Conversations felt heavier than they were.
Situations felt more threatening than they needed to be.
I was moving through life from protection, not presence.

Everything began to change when I stopped trying to “figure myself out” and focused instead on creating safety in my body.

“If the nervous system doesn’t feel safe, the present moment is not available.”

This experience is designed to help you:

  • Reconnect with your body in a calm, supported way

  • Exit survival states (fight, flight, freeze)

  • Build internal safety and trust

  • Feel more present, grounded, and resourced

  • Create a deeper sense of stability from within

  • Create the conditions for the body to rest, regulate, and remember how to heal

There is no rush — arriving early supports regulation and presence.

  • Opening — Welcoming & Connection (30 minutes)

We begin by creating a shared field of safety and attunement.

This includes:

  • A warm welcome and orientation to the space

  • An explanation of the breathwork session and the conscious connected breathing technique

  • A gentle awareness-expanding exercise to help you arrive in your body and the present moment

This opening sets the tone for trust, clarity, and nervous system regulation.

  • Breathwork Journey — 1 hour

A guided Conscious Connected Breathwork session designed to support the body in shifting out of survival states and into rest, regulation, and repair.

You will be lying down and fully supported throughout the journey, moving at your own pace.

We close with a spacious integration period to support embodiment and meaning-making.

This includes:

  • Time to rest and allow the nervous system to settle

  • Gentle reflection and optional sharing

Integration is an essential part of the process, allowing insights and regulation to land in a sustainable way.

Important Safety Information & Waiver

Your safety and well-being are a priority in this space.

Conscious Connected Breathwork is generally safe and supportive for most people. At the same time, because it can have a deep impact on the nervous system and emotional body, there are certain medical or psychological conditions that require extra care and possible modifications.

This information is shared to support you — not to exclude you.

Having one of these conditions does not automatically mean you cannot participate. In many cases, the breathing technique can be adapted — with a slower pace, different breathing patterns, or additional grounding and regulation support — to meet your needs.

You will be asked to review and sign a waiver prior to the session. Please read it carefully and feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. Printed copies will also be available on the day of the session.

Your well-being always comes first.

If you currently have, or have a history of, any of the following conditions, please reach out to me before attending the session:

  • History of schizophrenia, psychosis, bipolar disorder, or unmanaged PTSD

  • Heart disease or other cardiovascular condition.

  • History of aneurysm

  • Uncontrolled high blood pressure, or low blood pressure with fainting episodes

  • Respiratory conditions, including COPD or asthma

  • Ongoing medical treatment for a serious or potentially life-threatening illness

  • Epilepsy or a history of seizures

  • Glaucoma or history of retinal detachment

  • Significant osteoporosis

  • Pregnancy

  • Uncontrolled thyroid conditions or diabetes

  • Recent major life stressors, including illness or surgery

What is Conscious Connected Breathwork?

The primary breathing technique used in this breathwork experience is Conscious Connected Breathwork (CCB).

For most of the session, we are gently engaging with this continuous, rhythmic way of breathing as a foundation for safety, presence, and regulation.

Conscious Connected Breathwork is a natural, uninterrupted flow of breath that reconnects you with one of your most powerful internal resources: your breath.

As Dan Brulé often teaches, the breath is not something we do —
it’s something that does us, moment by moment.

By allowing the inhale and exhale to flow without pauses, the breath becomes a steady, predictable rhythm the body can trust and follow.
There is nothing to achieve and no special state to reach.

You simply stay connected — to the breath, to the body, and to the present moment.

It is this simple continuity that allows the nervous system to soften and settle, and that makes the practice so profoundly regulating and transformative.

Why Conscious Connected Breathwork supports safety in the body

The breath is the fastest and most direct way to communicate with the nervous system.

When breathing is shallow, interrupted, or held, the body often stays in a state of alert or control.
When the breath becomes smooth, connected, and supported, the body receives a clear signal:

“It is okay to soften”.

Conscious connected breathing helps create safety in the body by:

  • Establishing a predictable rhythm the nervous system can trust

  • Gently releasing habitual tension without forcing anything

  • Supporting the shift from survival states into rest, digestion, and repair

  • Bringing awareness back into the body in a grounded, embodied way

Rather than pushing the body to release, the breath invites regulation.

As Dan Brulé says in many ways:

When the breath changes, life changes.

And in this space, the change is gentle, respectful, and paced.

Every breath counts. Every breath transforms
