Terms & Conditions

1. Contraindications for Breathwork Sessions

My breathwork sessions are not recommended if you are pregnant or suffering from serious health conditions (in particular epilepsy, coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, glaucoma, kidney failure, heart failure or stroke, significant recent physical injuries or surgery, anxiety or panic disorder). When in doubt, please get approval from your physician.

My Clarity Breathwork sessions are more gentle. They are not recommended if you are pregnant (in particular in the first trimester) – unless you have gotten approval from your physician. 

2. General Warning: Never do Hyperventilation and Breath Holds in or near Water

Never practise hyperventilation and breath holds in or near water – or anywhere else where fainting can be dangerous. Why? Shallow-water blackouts can be fatal. When you hold your breath for a longer time after hyperventilation, your blood oxygen saturation may gradually drop to such a low level that you become unconscious. During hyperventilation, carbon dioxide (your primary breathing trigger) levels drop and your natural breathing reflex is delayed.

You're safe with me. I do controlled breath holds in my breathwork: I won't let you hold your breath as long as you can after hyperventilation. Get in touch if you have any questions.

3. No Medical Advice

I am not a medical practitioner. No advice and activity presented, demonstrated or advised are in any way intended as a substitute for a medical consultation, and should not replace or interfere with any guidance offered by a medical professional.

4. Cancellation Policy

If you cancel breathwork classes booked through this website no later than 24 hours before the class, you will get a full refund. Later cancellations will only be refunded if I fill your spot.

There is no refund for the cancellation of workshops or other events. 

Email me in exceptional cases; I will try to find a solution with you. 

5. No Right of Withdrawal

You have no right of withdrawal as the services (breathwork classes, workshops) are related to leisure activities and the contract provides for a specific date or period of performance pursuant to Section 312g (2) no. 9 of the German Civil Code, Article 16 (1) (l) of Directive 2011/83/EU of 25 October 2011 on consumer rights.

6. 7-Day "Test Drive Guarantee" for My Open Workshops

You finish the 2-hour workshop and don't see the value? Unlikely.

But if so, you can claim a full refund within 7 days (after the workshop, not the 7-week integration program).

Reach out to me at jan@jansorge.com to let me know. I’ll personally return every cent you spent within 48 hours, no questions asked.

And we’ll still be friends, too.

I'll remove you from the 7-week integration program though. You lose access to my community on Circle and the life-long breathwork toolkit.

This guarantee doesn't apply to my offers for law firms.
