Somatic breathwork and sound bath sessions for nervous system regulation in Austin.
Michele Schalin runs Mindful Metamorphosis, a breathwork practice in Austin. Their sessions pair somatic breathwork with sound baths, built around nervous system regulation. That framing matters. This is not the gentle breathing exercise tacked onto the end of a yoga class.
Somatic breathwork is more physical. It works with the body directly, using breath patterns to shift the nervous system out of fight-or-flight. Schalin pairs that with sound baths to bring things back down afterward. The combination makes sense: one activates, the other settles. People come in wired and leave softer.
Mindful Metamorphosis keeps a tight focus. Breathwork is the thing, not one offering buried in a menu of twelve. For anyone in Austin curious about bodywork that goes past stretching and savasana, Schalin's sessions are a good place to start.
