Chi with Bri

Expect a guided, immersive wellness experience that gives your guests space to pause, recharge, and connect. We combine breathwork, gentle yoga, meditation, and live sound, tailoring the session to your event’s atmosphere, schedule, and audience.

THE GUEST EXPERIENCE

We begin with a warm welcome and clear instructions so guests feel comfortable from the start. Depending on your chosen format, Alex guides breathing practices and gentle movement, followed by meditation and an immersive live sound bath.

Guests can settle into stillness as crystal singing bowls, crystal harp, chimes, voice, and percussion fill the space. The experience closes with time to return gently, reflect, and carry that sense of presence into the rest of your event. For groups seeking a more expressive finish, we can incorporate guided movement and connection.

No previous experience is needed. Participation is always optional, and guests are encouraged to move, breathe, and rest at their own comfort level.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE AS THE HOST

• A tailored session: We work with you to choose the practices, pace, and duration that suit your guests and goals.
• Two complementary facilitators: Alex and Bri bring experienced guidance and live instrumentation to a cohesive experience.
• Planning support: We coordinate timing, setup needs, space layout, and equipment requirements with you beforehand.
• A format that fits your event: Choose a focused workplace reset, a retreat session, or an extended experience for a private celebration.
• Thoughtful delivery: Clear communication and a planned opening, progression, and close help the session fit smoothly into your event schedule.

FOR CORPORATE EVENTS

We create an opportunity for colleagues to step away from screens and responsibilities and share something beyond their usual workday. Sessions can complement team retreats, employee appreciation days, conferences, and client events, with language and practices suited to your workplace culture.

FOR PRIVATE EVENTS

We shape the experience around your occasion, whether that’s a peaceful birthday gathering, a retreat, or a celebration centred on connection. Your guests get to settle in and enjoy the moment while we guide the session.

Share your group size, venue, and vision, and we’ll help you choose a format that feels right.

We’re Alex Petroyama and Brianne “Bri” Qureshi, the duo behind Chi with Bri. With over 10,000 hours of combined teaching experience, we bring together breathwork, yoga, meditation, and immersive live sound to create meaningful corporate wellness experiences and private events across Toronto.

MEET ALEX

Alex is a mental health expert, University of Toronto graduate, double black belt, and yoga and breathwork teacher and facilitator with more than 20 years of experience.

His work brings together the discipline of martial arts, the awareness of yoga, and an understanding of mental wellness. His strength lies in making these practices feel relevant and approachable, whether he’s guiding a room of busy professionals or an intimate private gathering.

Through pranayama breathwork, gentle movement, voice, and live rhythm, Alex invites participants to step away from the demands of the day and reconnect with the present moment. He brings both structure and sensitivity to his sessions, offering clear direction while leaving room for individual comfort and choice.

For your event, that depth of experience means a facilitator who can hold a room’s attention, put newcomers at ease, and create a meaningful shared experience. His intention is to help guests leave with more than a memorable moment: a deeper connection to themselves and simple practices they can return to in everyday life.

MEET BRI

Bri is a meditation and breathwork guide, sound bath practitioner, and co-founder of Chi with Bri. She combines guided reflection, conscious breathing, and immersive live sound to create experiences that invite people to slow down, reconnect, and feel present.

Before building Chi with Bri, she spent more than a decade in banking and corporate finance. Having worked in demanding professional environments, she understands the pressures of deadlines, responsibility, and constant connectivity - and how valuable a thoughtful pause can be.

That corporate background also shapes the care behind our events: clear communication, thoughtful planning, and respect for your team’s time.

Through crystal singing bowls, crystal harp, chimes, and percussion, Bri creates rich soundscapes that complement her meditation and breathwork guidance. Her approach is warm and accessible, helping guests feel comfortable whether they practise regularly or are experiencing a session for the first time.

WHAT WE CREATE TOGETHER

We combine guided breathwork, gentle yoga, meditation, and live sound into experiences tailored to your group, venue, and occasion.

For corporate clients, we offer workplace wellness sessions, team retreats, employee appreciation experiences, conference breaks, and client gatherings. From a focused midday reset to a longer immersive session, we shape the format around your schedule and goals.

For private events, we create personalized experiences for birthdays, retreats, intimate gatherings, and special celebrations. Sessions can be quiet and restorative or include more movement and opportunities for connection.

Our setup is flexible and can be adapted to offices, event venues, studios, and private homes. We’ll confirm the specific requirements with you before your event.

• A clean, quiet area with enough room for your guests and our instruments.
• For floor-based sessions, guests need space to lie comfortably on yoga mats, with clear walkways.
• Chair-based formats are available for workplaces or venues with limited floor space.
• A stage is not required. A level, stable surface is needed for our instrument setup.

SOUND
• A space away from loud music, conversations, and other competing noise is ideal, particularly for meditation and sound baths.
• We bring our live instruments. Microphone, speaker, and amplification needs depend on your group size and venue and will be confirmed during planning.
• Please let us know if the venue has an existing sound system or sound restrictions.

LIGHTING
• Soft or dimmable lighting is preferred for immersive sessions, though standard room lighting works for corporate formats.

SETUP & ACCESS
• We require dedicated setup time before guests arrive and time to pack down afterward. Exact timing depends on the experience booked.
• Please provide loading and parking details, along with any stairs, elevators, or access restrictions, as we transport delicate instruments.

OUTDOOR EVENTS
• Outdoor bookings require a dry, level area, suitable weather conditions, and protection for instruments and electrical equipment.
• An indoor backup or agreed weather contingency is required.

Please share your expected attendance, venue details, and any accessibility needs when enquiring so we can recommend a suitable layout and setup.
