Conscious Connected Breathwork is a type of breathing method that removes the pause between the inhale and exhale, gently increasing oxygen in the body and the brain. Through a diaphragmatic, nose-inhale breath cycle we are able to engage with our parasympathetic nervous system, the rest & restore state. While in this restorative state, we are able to experience longer journeying, heal more deeply, and ultimately receive the benefits of rest. In this workshop, we encourage free-form, uninhibited breathwork within a nourishing space that includes post-breath processing and integration. It is important to note that with Conscious Connected Circular Breathwork and the increase of oxygen, we are entering into an expanded (or non-ordinary) state of consciousness which allows us to shift the brainwave pattern.
