It turns out to be 90 minutes of intense breathing to latin-flavored, feel-good, techno music - and is AWESOME! I decided while laying on my blanket and pillow, surrounded by about 50 reclined, audibly breathing individuals that I needed this in my life regularly. The first five minutes you still have doubt: "can I realy keep this up for 90 minutes?" - but then you start to tingle...my ears and lips were first...then my whole face, and all of a sudden I was laughing uncontrollably and so were the people around me. Screams of joy broke out and high energy waves rolled through the room swelling into intense manifestations of palpable joy for life.
While breathing, the body and mind are able to unravel themselves - a response different for every body. Several teachers walk around guiding people through particularyly challenging physical or emotional states (cramped hands or sudden saddness) and otherwise walk around (also breathing) guiding the energy in the room. Interesting note: About an hour into the breathing I needed to go to the bathroom and must have hit 3 walls walking down the hall...dizziness upon standing is just a bonus effect.
