Workshop & Active Breath Practice (75 minutes)
What is breathwork?
Breathwork is an active meditation technique that uses the breath to bypass the thinking brain by supporting your nervous system and increasing blood flow, boosting oxygen and dopamine, which allows you to drop into a deeper intelligence of your body. As a result, this physical effect helps to process and release painful or racing thoughts and suppressed/repressed emotions, connect to intuition, authentic self, and ultimately open the heart.
