What a session involves
A guided session teaches a few breathing and body techniques that help people shift their state: calmer before a hard conversation, more alert when energy drops. A good session is seated, in normal work clothes, in an ordinary meeting room, and needs no experience. People are never pushed: every technique has a gentler option, and anyone can pause or stop.
Health and safety: who should not take part
Some breathing techniques are not suitable for everyone. A responsible provider asks about health beforehand and adapts or excludes intense techniques for people who are under 18 or pregnant, have epilepsy, heart disease or uncontrolled high blood pressure, glaucoma, recent major surgery, a severe mental health condition or a recent psychiatric crisis, or have had alcohol or drugs in the last 24 hours or fasted for 48 hours. Breathwork is not a substitute for medical advice. Ask any provider how they screen, and what happens if someone has a strong reaction.
What it costs and how to measure it
Prices vary with depth. Drop-in classes booked through marketplaces start at around €80 to €100 per person or per session. Structured programmes with preparation, a trained lead facilitator and a follow-up cost more, and most good providers start with one pilot team. Ask how results are measured: which questionnaire, when, and whether you see results that show little or no change. Validated short questionnaires such as WHO-5 (wellbeing) and PSS-10 (perceived stress), taken before and some weeks after, tell you more than a feedback form on the day.
InnerCamp Performance
InnerCamp Performance brings the Holosomatic® Method to teams across Europe, in 10 languages. Three programmes: Activate, a half day for one team of up to 10, from €7,200; Develop, a full day for up to 12, from €16,800; Integrate, three days for an executive team of up to 8, from €54,000. Every programme is measured with WHO-5, PSS-10 and UWES-3 before and 30 days after, and we report what the instruments show, including where change is small.
