BREATHE IN PARIS
with L’Usine Saint-Lazare
“The Magic of Breathwork”
In-person - In French - All levels welcome!
Each reservation must be made under the name, email, and phone number of the actual participant. If you wish to offer this class as a gift, please contact me directly.
Learn more about the power of your breath and discover the magic of Breathwork at L’Usine Saint-Lazare, in the heart of Paris. Whether you’re a member of L’Usine or not, whether you’ve ever taken Breathwork in your life, everyone is welcome! Before the session even non-members can take advantage of the fitness center and the spa (see below).
DO YOU KNOW THE POWER OF THE BREATH?
Most of us aren’t taking the full, deep breaths we’re capable of. We’re not using our lungs to their full capacity. Without enough oxygen, we’re at risk of issues like fatigue, anxiety, dis-ease, health complications, and even stress on our hearts. These issues, which are most often based on fears, are like negative energetic blocks, walls and barriers that are holding us back from stepping into our full potential. That’s where Breathwork comes in.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN THIS SESSION :
Breathwork is a powerful process of exploration, healing and personal growth. It can lead to an intense physical and emotional release. Be aware that old traumas or pent-up feelings may come to surface, and it’s not always comfortable. This is part of the healing process. My intention with Breathe in Paris is to create a safe space where you can learn to use your breath to release these blockages. In a session, some people cry, others laugh, express themselves... Be prepared for loud music, screaming, tears… and being cozy and close-up to your neighbors in order to enhance the group energy flow. It is an intense experience!
THE FLOW OF THE SESSION :
During the first half of this 3-hour session, I will connect you to your breath while introducing the spontaneous “theme of the day” and the Four Pillars of Breathe in Paris : Meditation, Reiki, Coaching and Breathwork. With humor and scientific facts, I will explain the Breathwork technique, what you can expect, and why it's so important to breathe correctly.
The second half of the session will be spent lying on your back with a mask covering your eyes (bring your own or buy one from me for 5€ cash only) as I guide you through the Breathwork session based on the theme. This is when the volume of the music increases and the energy moves around the room. A single session is sometimes enough to create a significant change as Breathwork helps reduce anxiety and stress, better manage emotions, improve the digestive system and physical performance.
Breathwork is purely experiential and no two sessions are alike. Be prepared to step out of your comfort zone and you just may emerge transformed.
Please note that this class is for beginners and experts, but Breathwork is not recommended for certain people, see below.

Breathwork is more effective on an empty stomach, so it's best to avoid eating within two hours.
Bring an eye mask. If you don't have one, Breathe in Paris sells them on site for 5€ each - cash only, no credit cards. Breathwork should be done with the eyes covered!
Please arrive 15-20 minutes before the session starts, and don't have any commitments immediately after the session (I always go over schedule and at the end you can also stay and chat… and get a hug from me!)
Please don't arrive late to avoid disrupting the class.
Cancellation Policy (see below) : The number of places is limited, so please let us know in advance if you cannot come. Rescheduling or cancellation with refund is possible up to 48 hours before the session (otherwise the session will be charged).
"Every Breathe in Paris session is unique—because we are unique, I am unique, the music changes, the group's energy shifts, and our BREATHS vary. Yet, our goal remains constant: to become aware of our breath and deepen our understanding of our lives."
~ Susan Oubari
FOR NON-MEMBERS, COME AND DISCOVER THE CLUB :
Come from 12h30 onwards and take advantage of this state of the art gym before the Breathwork session. You get full access to weight equipment, cardio machines, hammans and saunas (except group classes). Locker rooms are available with showers and towels.
THIS PRACTICE IS NOT ADVISED FOR CERTAIN PEOPLE :
It's essential to recognize that the Breathwork I teach is a form of Holotropic® Breathwork. This is not about relaxation; it's a physical, mental, and emotional challenge and is not recommended for certain people : those with a history of cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, retinal detachment, serious mental illness, seizures, advanced osteoporosis, physical injuries or recent major surgery, as well as for people suffering from asthma (please bring your inhaler). If you are pregnant, Breathwork is not recommended, even in early pregnancy. If you have any doubts, I invite you to consult your doctor or contact me directly by email at susan@susanoubari.com.
CANCELLATION POLICY :
Rescheduling and Early Cancellation (More than 48 hours before class) : If you can't attend and it’s more than 48 hours before the class, you have the option to reschedule or cancel and receive a refund. Click the blue "CHANGE/CANCEL APPOINTMENT" button in your confirmation email to make the changes. If you cancel, I'll process the refund, and you will receive an email receipt. Please allow 5-7 days for the refund to appear on your credit card.
Late Cancellation : If you cancel within 48 hours of the session, no refund will be given. However, please still notify me in advance by emailing susan@susanoubari.com. This helps us offer your spot to someone on the waiting list and prevents the group from waiting with an unoccupied mat.
No Show : There is no refund if you don’t show up or fail to cancel ahead of time. However, please still notify me in advance by emailing susan@susanoubari.com. This helps us offer your spot to someone on the waiting list and prevents the group from waiting with an unoccupied mat.
