Expert facilitation for breathwork isn't strictly necessary. "Everyone should absolutely try breathwork on their own," Snow said. (Ahead is a technique she recommends trying.) That said, it's easy to get distracted or even prevent yourself from confronting difficult things. If that's the case for you, Snow said it can be helpful to have a facilitator in the beginning to help you recognise your habits of distraction or avoidance. You can also use breathwork apps or guided videos.
