Conscious Connected Breathwork with Balance by Chaz
If you’re searching for Conscious Connected Breathwork, you may be looking for more than a breathing technique. Perhaps you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your head, disconnected from your body or aware that something beneath the surface needs space to move.
Conscious Connected Breathwork is a powerful guided breathwork practice that uses a continuous, circular breathing pattern to help you move out of the busy thinking mind and into the felt sense of the body. Through connected breathing, curated music, nervous system awareness and integration, this practice can support emotional release, stress relief, inner clarity and deeper self-connection.
When guiding Conscious Connected Breathwork, I facilitate a grounded, body-based practice for women who are ready to feel, release and reconnect with themselves. This is not about forcing a breakthrough or trying to “fix” yourself. It is about creating enough safety, space and presence for your body to be heard.
Breathwork for Emotional Release, Stress Relief and Self-Connection
Many of us try to think our way through everything. We analyse, reflect, journal, listen to podcasts, make lists and tell ourselves that once we understand the pattern, we should be able to change it. But sometimes insight is not enough.
You can know you need to slow down and still feel guilty when you rest. You can know you want to be seen and still freeze when it is time to take action. You can know a pattern is no longer serving you and still feel unable to move beyond it.
Conscious Connected Breathwork works from the body up. Instead of starting with your thoughts, it uses the breath to support your nervous system, access stored emotion and bring awareness to what is happening beneath the surface. This makes it a powerful somatic breathwork practice for women who feel overwhelmed, emotionally heavy, anxious, disconnected, burnt out or stuck in overthinking.
During a session, you’ll be guided to breathe in a connected rhythm, supported by music and gentle facilitation. As the breath continues, you may experience physical sensations, emotional release, memories, insight, relaxation or a deeper sense of presence. Every breathwork experience is different, and there is no right or wrong way to experience it.
Nervous System Regulation Breathwork
Conscious Connected Breathwork can be both activating and deeply regulating. The connected breathing pattern may temporarily bring energy, emotion or sensation to the surface, before supporting the body into rest, integration and release. This is why nervous system awareness is central to the way I guide breathwork.
The aim is not to overwhelm your body or push yourself into intensity. The aim is to build capacity, reconnect with your body and practise staying present with what arises.
In my breathwork sessions, you will always be reminded that you have agency over your own breath. You can slow down, soften, breathe through your nose, return to your natural breath or pause whenever you need to.
Your breath belongs to you.
This practice can support your emotional wellbeing, deepen your self-awareness and help you create a felt sense of safety in the body, so that clarity and self-trust can emerge from a more grounded place.

Who is Conscious Connected Breathwork For?
Conscious Connected Breathwork may be for you if you feel overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally heavy or disconnected from yourself. It may be supportive if you struggle to switch off, overthink everything, feel stuck in old patterns or know that talk-based reflection only gets you so far.
It can also be powerful if you are moving through a life transition, craving clarity, processing emotion, or wanting to build a deeper relationship with your body, breath and nervous system.
This practice is especially supportive for ambitious women who are used to holding everything together, but quietly know that something underneath needs space to move.
You do not need any previous experience with breathwork, yoga or meditation. You will be guided step by step and encouraged to work at a pace that feels right for you.

Do I need experience, and is it safe?
No experience is required, and you’ll be guided every step of the way. Breathwork is suitable for many people, but it may not be appropriate for certain medical conditions. If you’re unsure, please get in touch before booking. Read my blog here.
Is Conscious Connected Breathwork right for me?
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck or disconnected, breathwork can offer a supportive space to slow down, regulate your nervous system, process emotions and reconnect with yourself.
Can breathwork help with emotional release?
Yes. Many people use Conscious Connected Breathwork for emotional release because the connected breath can help bring suppressed or unprocessed emotions to the surface. This may include sadness, anger, grief, fear, joy, relief or emotions that are difficult to name. The breath gives you a way to feel and move through emotion rather than only thinking about it.
Online and In-Person Conscious Connected Breathwork
You can experience Conscious Connected Breathwork with Balance by Chaz through online sessions, in-person workshops, private breathwork journeys and retreats in Portugal.
Online breathwork allows you to experience the practice from the comfort of your own home. All you need is a quiet space, somewhere comfortable to lie down, headphones, water, a blanket and time afterwards to rest or journal.
In-person breathwork sessions and retreats offer a deeper group experience, combining breathwork with coaching, reflection, embodiment and nervous system support.
Whether online or in person, the intention is the same: to help you move out of your head, reconnect with your body and create space for what is ready to be felt, released or understood.

Chaz, thankyou for the most amazing 5 days on your 1st Balance Retreat in Sagres. Your kindness & encouragement towards me to join in & overcome fears is an incredible gift. You truly are the kindest person I know. I’m looking forward to my next Sauna visit + ( a hat over my face ) lol. Also for me to lay on a Surf Board let alone kneel up with my hands in the air ( at 65 with a Stoma ) shows how confident and happy I was under the care & tuition from yourself & colleagues not forgetting the delicious food from the chef and wonderful staff of the Aldeia Caicara. I will be returning. Alli x

I have just returned from the Yoga, Pilates, Surf retreat where Chaz taught many styles of yoga, with a gentle, encouraging and caring way that she was born to do! The breathwork and mindset coaching gave a perfect balance to the retreat and a wonderful calming space and presence to practice in. Thank you!

I participated in a retreat with Chaz and I feel so grateful, blessed and inspired. Chaz created a real safe space with amazing treatments. We experienced great activity’s, had beautiful talks and great impulses for reflection. Everything hold by a beautiful energy of female power and love!!

I have just spent the last 5 days on the Balance Retreat led by Chaz and at 31 years of age, I can quite honestly say this was the most transformative experience of my life.
The retreat itself was the perfect balance of wellness, reflection, fun and time to actually get to know the other amazing women. Moreover, the activities planned, truly allowed me to experience such joy and actually feel present (the first time in as long as I can remember).
I wish I had the words to summarise how truly special Chaz is, but there just doesn’t seem to be the right ones! What I can say is that she is a human sunshine, radiates warmth, facilitates the safest, most loving environment for us to look inwards and let go of anything holding us back, and created the most beautiful space for us all to really grow during our time together. By the end we all felt like a family, none of us wanted to leave!

I have just come back from Chaz’s balance retreat and could not recommend highly enough. From the incredible breath work session, to yoga/pilates, sauna ritual experience, surfing lessons and life coaching – it has everything that I didn’t even know I needed. And the food – yum! The group of women were a mix of ages, backgrounds and abilities who really gelled. Chaz has the purest, warmest energy and lives and breathes by the things that she teaches in this retreat. This is not just any retreat, it was something so special and the whole group really felt lighter and connected by the end. I’m pretty sure the whole group put their names down for her September retreat already!!

Chaz is the kind of host who makes you feel seen from the moment you arrive. Warm, authentic, and genuinely open. Someone who is deeply committed to creating something real. The space held was generous and inclusive, and that set the tone for everything that followed. The week was beautifully curated: morning pilates and yoga to ease us into the day, a sauna ritual that became something almost sacred, surfing, cliff and sunset hikes that reminded me how extraordinary the natural world is when you slow down enough to notice it. Every experience felt intentional, chosen to bring a little more light to life, and it did exactly that. Chef Julia’s cooking was beautiful, nourishing, and made with unmistakable care. Five days in Sagres with Chaz isn’t just a retreat. It’s a week you carry with you, in the memories made, the people you meet, and the quiet shifts that happen when you give yourself permission to just be. I won’t forget it.

Chaz came so highly recommended that when I saw her retreat advertised, I thought, why not give it a whirl despite being a bit nervous of meeting new people, being too old, not quite bendy enough 😆 But it was an amazing experience and I came back from Sagres completely blown away. Restored physically and mentally. Chaz is warm, loving, and full of infectious energy. Her yoga, coaching, and meditations struck the perfect balance, and I left feeling grounded, energised, and genuinely inspired to take my intentions home and stick with them. She’s one of those people who just radiates warmth and love, and her energy and enthusiasm shine through into her yoga practice as well as her calm and professional coaching style. The food was amazing too!
