Whether you’re seeking recovery, clarity, or personal growth, our studio provides a supportive environment for you to reset and realign.
At Kensho, transformation begins with a single breath.
Breathwork
Breathwork is a simple yet powerful practice of consciously controlling the breath to support physical, mental, and emotional well-being. By using specific breathing techniques, it can help reduce stress, calm the nervous system, increase clarity, and promote a deeper connection between the mind and body.
Cold Plunge
Cold plunge is the practice of immersing the body in cold water for short periods to support physical and mental resilience. This exposure can help reduce inflammation, improve circulation, boost mood through natural endorphin release, and strengthen the nervous system’s ability to handle stress, leaving you feeling refreshed, focused, and energized.
Holistic Events
Kensho offers a diverse range of holistic classes and events designed to support healing, connection, and personal growth. From Kundalini Yoga and Tibetan singing bowl sound baths to Reiki and other integrative practices, each experience is thoughtfully curated to nurture the mind, body, and spirit in a welcoming, community-centered environment.
How Kensho Can Help with Addiction Recovery
Cold plunge and breathwork can be powerful supportive tools in addiction recovery by helping regulate the nervous system and build resilience in moments of stress and craving. Intentional breathing techniques activate the body’s relaxation response, reducing anxiety and improving emotional awareness, while cold exposure provides a natural way to reset the body, increase dopamine levels, and strengthen mental discipline. Together, these practices can help individuals become more present in their bodies, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and create space between impulse and action—an essential part of breaking addictive patterns. While not a replacement for professional treatment, incorporating breathwork and cold therapy into a recovery journey can offer a grounding, empowering complement to long-term healing.
Meet Chris
Christopher Lewis once suffered through more than a decade of addiction, anxiety, and depression, but after discovering breathwork, cold plunge, and other natural healing practices, he transformed his life and is now dedicated to helping others overcome their own battles with addiction. As the owner-operator of Kenshō Studio, Chris brings both lived experience and professional training—including certifications in personal training, Reiki, and yoga—to his work. Following years of trauma and substance abuse that left his nervous system and overall health deeply compromised, he began a daily practice of breathwork and cold plunging, gradually restoring his mental, physical, and emotional well-being. What started as a search for relief evolved into a profound personal transformation, leading him to fully embrace holistic healing and ultimately step into leadership at Kenshō. Today, Chris is passionate about creating a supportive, community-centered space where individuals can heal, connect, and grow through breathwork, meditation, sound healing, and other transformative experiences. Clients also have the opportunity to work one-on-one with Chris at Kenshō, receiving personalized guidance and support on their healing journey.
