Akin to opening the windows and doors within, conscious Breathwork practices have the ability to move our energy, emotions and physiology. Our inhale and exhale are hardwired into our nervous system. And knowing that, we can engage that pathway of breath to consciously stimulate physiological, emotional and spiritual regulation, decompression and repair.

When practiced regularly, conscious breathing practices can: 

• Assist us in offloading daily and compound stressors 

• Build both self-awareness and a flexible, resilient nervous system 

• Loosen conscious and unconscious holding patterns (be them physical, mental and/or emotional) 

• Improve cardiovascular functions, slowing heartbeat and lowering blood pressure 

• Manage chronic pain and modulation pain perception 

• Boost immune response supporting the lymphatic system, enabling more rapid recovery from illness 

• Improve sleep 

• Alkalize the body and releasing of metabolic waste 

There are many styles of Breathwork available to us and all, at their root, generate a deeper sense of Self and homeostatic balance within. In this group practice we will focus on a 3-part open-mouth breath sequence accompanied by evocative music to help conjure a journey-like inner state within a relatively brief amount of time. Similar to group meditation, we create a shared “field” with each other, and this often accentuates and deepens each individual’s experience. Breathing alongside one another is such a unique opportunity to drop deeply into yourself, while bearing witness to community. It is an opportunity to be supported and inspired by the group, while honoring your own unique lived experience. 

What to expect: After a brief intro, breath observation and intention setting, the bulk of our time will be spent engaging our breath with the support of a thoughtfully curated playlist with my facilitation and cueing. 

No previous breathwork experience is necessary to attend, just a willingness to give it a try!
