Breathwork

About the experience...

The feelings of peace and safety have a natural desire to exist in our body. More often than not, external circumstances tend to disrupt this energy center, creating the feelings of unease, overwhelm, anxiety and stress. In this workshop we will explore ways to move stagnant energy and connect with our bodies, allowing us to feel light again.

Your facilitator, Maya, will share integrative breathwork patterns to hold and cultivate more peace, safety, connection, and a powerful sense of presence from within. During the workshop you will be guided through some gentle movement, including a few Qi-Gong moves, followed by a meditative breathwork session paired with soothing singing and drumming. After participating in this event, you will understand what breathwork is, how it feels in your body, and methods to easily incorporate this peaceful and grounding practice into your daily life. This is a beginner friendly practice.

To make your experience as comfortable as possible, it is encouraged that you bring a blanket and yoga mat (if you have one). You will be lying down for an extended amount of time, so feel free to bring anything else that will allow you to feel more secure in your space (warm socks, beanie, pillow for under knees, crystals, essential oil, journal). Being comfortable can elevate your experience and support your ability to stay present. Recommendation to limit food and liquids 1-2 hours before the session to prevent an upset stomach. Sanitized yoga mats and clean blankets will be available to borrow if needed.

What does Breathwork do?...

The oxygen will flood the bloodstream and system, going exactly where it needs to. The oxygen heads to places of held stress and trauma to release it. Many people are able to begin to get out of a conscious state to tap into the unconscious experience visions. It is important to note that everyone has a different experience with breathwork, almost every time. You can be met with anything from a peaceful sensation to feelings of euphoria. You control how deep you go and what is right for you.

Breathwork has been proven to help people overcome anxiety, depression, PTSD and anger issues. Breathwork lowers inflammation in the body, repairs cells, and is something that can easily be transferred to improve health and happiness in your everyday life.
