Breathe and Be

In a world dominated by competition and constant noise, maintaining clarity and calmness has become more important than ever. This class invites participants to harness the transformative power of breathwork and meditation, offering a much-needed respite from the relentless pace of modern life. Here, individuals can step off the proverbial hamster wheel, recalibrate their nervous systems, and reconnect with their inherent sense of peace.

Through the practice of controlled breathing techniques and mindful meditation, this class aims to quiet the relentless internal chatter that often occupies our minds. Participants will explore various methods to down-regulate the body’s fight-or-flight response, enhance oxygenation, and cultivate self-awareness and self-soothing skills. By engaging in these practices, individuals will discover their profound potential for improving both physical and mental well-being.

Each session integrates kriyas that combine breathwork, movement, and sound, culminating in a meditative experience. With consistent practice, participants will develop the ability to remain calm during challenging situations while gaining insight into the patterns that may keep them trapped in cycles of suffering. The journey to healing begins with clarity, and this class is designed with a trauma-informed approach, ensuring that it is accessible to everyone without contraindications.
