Breathwork is a rhythmic cycle of inhalations and exhalations that activates the life force energy (prana) within the body. The ancient teachings tell us the mind has four aspects: Chitta (memory), Buddhi (intellect), Ahamkara (ego), and Manas (sensory mind). The traditional practices of pranayama recognized that the breath can reach all four, quieting the mind's restless movement and bringing clarity and stillness.Breath is one of the few functions of the body that is both automatic and voluntary, allowing us to step through the doorway between the unconscious body and the conscious mind to activate our own inner resources to heal trauma, alleviate anxiety, and cultivate mental wellness.
This workshop begins with traditional pranayama, rooted in the teachings of yoga, where we learn to steady, refine, and direct the breath. Then we move into a full hour of guided breathwork, where that same life force is invited to move freely in a continuous, connected rhythm. Pranayama teaches us how to work with the breath. The immersion lets us feel what the breath can teach us. Together they open the door to a state of Pure Consciousness, which people often describe as light, blissful, energizing, and clear.
No experience is necessary. We close with time to rest in gentle awareness. Come exactly as you are and breathe your way into balance.
