On your back, with eyes closed, you will be led through a series of deep-breathing exercises. The first half of the class will be more rapid breathing, to activate the sympathetic nervous system, and the second half will be more relaxed, with slow breathing to activate the parasympathetic nervous system. You’ll also be led through several breath holds. The breathwork will be synced with music and at certain points the instructor will play additional drums, chimes, and sound bowls to support the experience.
Through the cleansing power of the breath, emotions will often come forth to be felt, honored, and then released, leaving you feeling lighter and more connected with yourself and the world around you. This class is a safe container to feel and express any emotions or feelings such as anger, sadness, joy, or anything else that comes up for you. No previous breathwork experience required.
Yoga mats, blankets, and eye masks will be provided on a first come, first serve basis (but feel free to bring your own).
