Breathwork for the long work of being present.
ScrollThere is a place inside the breath where the inhale ends and the exhale has not yet begun. The yogis call it kumbhaka. The Buddhists call it shamatha. Most of us have never noticed it. The work of breathwork is to find it, and to remember the way back.
I am Shannon Beaty, founder of Stillpoint Breathwork, a practice dedicated to helping individuals reconnect with their innate capacity for healing, wholeness, and inner peace. As a Breathwork Facilitator, my mission is to support others in navigating the challenges of the human experience and awakening to the wisdom, resilience, and healing that already exist within them.
My journey into breathwork and healing emerged from the depths of personal recovery and a lifelong search for spiritual truth. Through years of self-discovery, healing, and transformation, I came to understand that true healing is not simply the absence of suffering. It is the process of returning home to ourselves. Along the way, I experienced a profound opening of the heart and a deep realization that lasting transformation occurs when we reconnect the mind, body, spirit, and authentic Self.
Throughout my healing journey, I have immersed myself in a wide range of transformative practices, including breathwork, meditation, sweat lodges, spiritual retreats, and contemplative traditions. I have been fortunate to learn from gifted teachers, mentors, and wisdom keepers whose guidance has helped shape my understanding of healing as both a personal and spiritual path.
What began as a path toward survival gradually evolved into a sacred calling. Through breathwork, I discovered a powerful tool for releasing emotional burdens, cultivating presence, and reconnecting with the deeper currents of life. These experiences inspired me to share this work with others and create a safe, compassionate space where individuals can explore their own healing journey.
At Stillpoint Breathwork, I believe that beneath the noise, stress, and conditioning of daily life lies a place of profound stillness, a place where clarity, healing, and truth reside. My role is not to heal others, but to serve as a guide and witness as they access their own inner wisdom and capacity for transformation.
Inspired by the words of Ram Dass, “We’re all just walking each other home,” I approach this work with humility, compassion, and reverence for each person’s unique journey. It is my honor to walk alongside those seeking greater connection, healing, and a deeper relationship with themselves and life itself.

Conscious connected breathing, paced to your nervous system. Not something you do, something that begins to happen through you.
Tension that has lived in your shoulders, your jaw, your gut for years has somewhere to go. The breath is the door it leaves through.
You are met without judgment, without coaching, without anyone trying to fix you. Just held, while you do the work only you can do.
I went in not knowing what to expect, with very little prior experience in breathwork. Shannon guided me through the entire process, and at one point I experienced uncontrollable laughter I didn’t understand at the time. It turned out to be a powerful physical release from the breathwork. It completely shifted how I see breathwork. An incredible experience.
Desi, North JerseyMy session with Shannon at Stillpoint Breathwork was an incredible experience. His guidance was clear and calming, helping me stay fully present, and the music created the perfect atmosphere to relax and go deeper. I left feeling lighter, grounded, and refreshed. You can truly feel the care he puts into creating a supportive space. I highly recommend a session with Shannon to anyone looking to reset and recharge.
Rebekah K., New JerseyShannon’s class was a 10/10. I felt safe and supported, he was gentle and encouraging. I really appreciated how he explained the scientific, bodily, emotional and energetic aspects of what we’d be experiencing. As he guided us through step by step, I had a complete heart opening and a really sweet, cleansing cry. I would highly recommend his class for beginners and experienced breathwork practitioners alike.
