Wow… this place is a hidden gem and I’ve already spoken to a few people about it since leaving my session.  I may use up all my sessions in the next month.

Great experience. Clear communication from Timur and I felt fabulous after a 30 minute breath session! It's a must try technology for all in pursuit of health, fitness and happiness!

Truly relaxing! Can highly recommend to anyone under tension or stress!

Fantastic experience! Highly recommend after a day of travel to reset the nervous system + get grounded.

Thank you, Kerstin! We’re happy you enjoyed the experience.

I just tried a totally new relaxation method and it blew me away — I felt instantly recharged, focused, and full of positive energy! This is a total game-changer for anyone who wants to boost their mood and power up their day!

This journey uses a combination of Synthetic Sleep, holotropic breathwork, and mechano-neurostimulation to restore and optimize the body while upregulating parts of the brain deactivated by stress and anxiety. As Shiftwaves align the physiology into a fully optimized state, the brain follows suit and leads you into a deep and sustained state of meditation. Matching the pulsed pressure waves closely with your breath will lead you to an euphoric state of bliss.

A Shiftwave classic, take a trip down the river to de-stress and reset the nervous system.

This journey is the current gold standard introduction to the Shiftwave system and provides for a complete nervous system rebalance and a better-than power nap using Shiftwave’s patent pending Synthetic Sleep®.

Make sure and pay attention to the nuances of the pulsed pressure waves as you align your breathing to the waves.

The Longevity journey capitalizes on the deep scientific learnings from the Shiftwave Institute to drive and exercise physiology to improve longevity. The journey starts with ten minutes of breathwork to synchronize diaphragmatic breathing with the central 
nervous system. Once you are trained to breathe properly, the system utilizes proprietary Shiftwave pulsed pressure waves to drive the entire body and mind into a state of resonance. In this state, the autonomic nervous system is balanced, vasculature is exercised, the cardiopulmonary system is synchronized and neurological 
systems (including the brain) are activated. This journey is a complete, inside-out, workout that will leave you feeling ready for anything.
