hold your breath

i took a breath class last night at the hub.  the class is called breathwork, which according to the class description, is a "simple technique that clears stuck energy and can help you to access your spirit. this easy, rhythmic breath can be learned in a single session. while simple, the results are so profound..."
the class lasted a little over 2 hours, with the first 90 minutes being what i can only describe as a sharing is caring, group therapy session and the last 30 minutes dedicated to actual breathing and meditation. it was not at all what i was expecting a class called breathwork to be.  i went in with a (mostly) open mind and came out conflicted about how i felt about the whole process, which i guess has to be experienced as a whole, but which i wish was more dedicated to actual breathing exercises, not hand holding, hugs and sing alongs.
