I had such a powerful, healing, and life changing experience in Ari’s breathwork class. He is truly a master and creates a space for such profound healing in a short amount of time. He is the real deal. If you’re on the fence about trying breathwork, this is perhaps one of the best places you could try. Thank you, Ari!

My first class at Center City Breathe with Felicia was transformational. The breathwork, activities, music, and her guidance and energy were exactly what I needed to continue my healing. The studio is also beautiful and comfortable. I'm already signed up again and bringing a friend!

This is a really special studio. I highly recommend exploring these breathwork sessions. I attend Felicia's class (Elemental Rhythm Breakthrough Experience) on a regular basis. This is where I started my healing journey. All the instructors are wonderful and make you feel safe and comfortable.

I took a Qu Gong class from Iris at 11:30 on Sunday. It was amazing! She is very knowledgable and guided us through extensive breath-work and body movements allowing chi to travel throughout the body. I highly recommend taking Iris’s class!

This studio is very warm and comfortable. I had a great experience at a group breath work class. I walked out with some fresh perspective feeling lighter and reconnected to my community.

The restorative yoga & sound bath class with Brett was wonderful. Gentle and very relaxing. I left feeling refreshed and more connected to my mind and body. The sound bath was beautiful. Highly recommend!

I’ve been to many healing and meditation/ bodywork centers — from Thailand to NYC to Paris— and this one really stands out. I live in NYC and would almost do a trip down to Philly just to do another breathwork session!

I arrived to Ari’s breathwork session a couple minutes early, and was nervous for what would transpire in the two hours, but also with the recognition that something in my body needed to be released. I came out of the two hours feeling lighter, and almost shocked at how incredible breathwork is and how much closer I felt to my body and mind. Ari is a wonderful and caring facilitator, his space is so intentionally built to be welcoming and cozy feeling. The experience was intense but so worth it. My tip to first timers is to make sure you have a nice landing spot the next day to decompress, slow down, get out to nature!

An experience awaits. I love this place. I have taken breathwork with Ari and a Sound bath with Brett. Brett's sound bath was so therapeutic, I could feel the frequencies go through my body. Four of us drove over the bridge to Philly. And all of us said... "that was the best sound bath we've been to" Six of us tried the Breathwork with Ari. If you don't know how important and powerful
breathwork is...come try it. It can be mind blowing. Cool vibe to come alone and connect with community, or try something totally out of your comfort zone.
A transformative hidden gem in an intimate cozy setting. When the world is hard, just breathe. I will be a regular. Breathwork has done wonders for me. May it serve you well.

I attended my first class at CCB today. I am so beyond grateful for making the time for myself to get to a session this morning. It was everything I needed and more. The power of the body and breath is a truly an incredible gift to us all. Thank you to Ari and the community today whose energy supported and guided myself and one another. 🙏🏻

What an experience this was! It was not only
transformational internally, but has a vibrant community aspect as well. The space was calming and there is so much equipment to support your experience. The price is UNBEATABLE. I’ve been to classes that are 5x the price and wasn’t nearly as transformational. If you are new to breathwork, this is the spot to go. Ari is amazing at leading breathwork and I can’t wait to discover other teachers and practices. If you have any thought whatsoever about attending, don’t hesitate.

I never could have imagined that my peace of mind and my happiness could come from what I did when I first entered the world. BREATHING! My healing and empowering journey to CENTER CITY BREATHE and the Breathwork Technique taught by Ari on Thursday nights has honestly allowed me to shift my energy and release the stuck-pain body- trauma inside me. As a man in long term recovery I feel truly blessed to have found this magical home for healing. I began attending Center City Breathe in the new year. I have never been more at peace and happier in my entire adult life. My personal relationships are thriving and my career has blossomed. I am still dealing with life and its ups and downs as they come but I no longer react the way I used to in regards to what I cannot control. I show up weekly to share what I have experienced with others and stay connected to my spiritual, mental and physical life.
This serene magical space is filled with seasoned practitioners of various forms of Meditation, Yoga, Breathwork, Sound Baths, as well as various exciting workshops that promote healing. You feel the powerful energy of this beautiful space immediately upon entering. I am truly grateful I discovered Center City Breathe and I highly recommend to everyone.

Really beautiful space and kind crew that runs it. They have some amazing enough to get talented and wonderful instructors like Charee Smith. People travel from all over the world to attend her classes. Her ecstatic dance classes are a wonderful way to check out CCB ☺️

The space at CCB is so beautiful. You can feel the peace immediately. It adds to the healing power of the classes. I’ve done a wonderful meditation class, but Ari’s Breathe class is ….. hard to put into words. It’s a beautiful and powerful experience

Its rare for me to write reviews in public forums, especially regarding personal growth experiences. But it’s with tremendous gratitude that I write about my time and experiences in the community at Center City Breathe. I started my somatic journey in December 2022, and it’s led me on an important path toward self reflection, toward understanding the literal connection between feelings and how they can take up negative residence in the body, and the need for those feelings to be cleared/healed. Like mediation, breath work has been a practice for me, a practice that has been supported by the community at CCB. It’s a nurturing and judgement free environment - both nourishing and healing. It’s brought me important perspectives and revelations about myself, learning from the past and creating a path toward the future. Having started in Dec 2022, I’m realizing my new journey has just begun. I’m happy to have created space for breath work in my life, for it continues to reveal opportunities toward personal growth. Hope to see you in a class soon!

I had such a beautiful experience during the breathwork session with Ari. He created such a safe and nurturing environment to experience what my body was needing to fully surrender into my breath and move through emotions that have been stagnant in my mind and body. I would highly recommend this beautiful space to be held in for breathwork and I will be utilizing this space again to continue my healing journey!

I attended my first class last week and am still feeling the positive effects. I have been struggling with grief and just general PTSD and my friends have been talking about their transformative experiences with breath work, so I drove from Newark, De to Philly in order to attend the session. I expected to feel good and release some tension through this process, but it exceeded my expectations. The setting was calm and relaxing, and the other attendees had open personalities that made me feel comfortable and welcome. Once we began the breathing exercises, I had a very visceral full body reaction, the power of which I did not anticipate. Ari was very supportive throughout the whole process and I felt immense relief afterwards. There was a lot of physical expression happening, so leave any fear of being judged behind because you might shake, yell, cry, etc (in a good way). I feel much more connected to my inner consciousness after just one class, and am very grateful I made this trip. Looking forward to attending again, as soon as my schedule permits. Also, they take venmo!

If you are even slightly curious about breathwork you should go to the group breathwork. Ari is very welcoming and a phenomenal instructor. He creates a safe space and atmosphere for all experiences to occur.

A wonderful variety of workshops to attend, each with different modalities and themes. Anyone seeking deeply healing and transformative experiences should consider CCB and the facilitators that work out of the gorgeous studio space. I have now attended multiple breathwork and meditation sessions at this space, coming out of each with profound insight and feeling great in my bones! Great for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.

I was very grateful to find this center while up in Philadelphia for the summer. The space is very sacred and not only was I able to attend a group glass, but I also got to experience a private Breathwork session that was done in the water. It was very powerful and Ari held a loving and safe space with and for me.

I go up to Philadelphia often and I look forward to returning to CCB.

Peace

I attended a Breathe session last week and found it be a one-of-a-kind experience that out-paced quite a few other modalities in one session; yoga, meditation, chanting. It's something to consider if you are interested in expanding your spiritual self.

In a word: life-changing. Ari and everyone at the center do an amazing job of holding space for you and allow you to get to where you need to be - for me that’s centered, relaxed, more conscious and clearheaded. It has become a weekly practice - thank you Ari !

CCB was my first breath work experience and I don’t think “life changing” is an exaggerated description of what happened. From the atmosphere to the decor, the petrified wood and the gentle gong that brings you back from your breathe, every detail is warm and considerate. Ari is a masterful leader, strikes a lovely tone of informative and welcome to newbies and more experienced breathers. If you aren’t sure about breath work, this is the best place to come learn. I knew nothing when I walked in and I felt comfortable and confident in what I was doing within the first 15 minutes. I have already returned for a second class and will continue to dive into my healthiest body and soul via CCB.

I have been on a journey of self awareness and self discovery since I was born . The books read, dreams I dreamt, music I heard and people I have met which have helped me on this journey have been no coincidence and coming to this class ,thanks to me dear friend Philip , was written. Truly an amazing , totally indescribable experience . My body shook, I cried from my gut, I felt tingling in my body and just a feeling of weight, lost. To be honest words can’t describe the experience . One has to try for oneself . Ari is super humble , genuinely kind and it is such a safe place to just let it all out and grow . Super grateful for its opening 🥰💐
