About this Event
Join Advanced Trauma-Informed Somatic Breathwork Practitioner Shelley Smith of Joy Juice Breathwork as we dive into the subconscious in this 2 hour Breathwork Journey experience.
Together we get out of the analytical mind and move into the body's electromagnetic operating system that influences our subconscious. Activating a series of breath patterns in rhythm with music, we consciously activate the sympathetic nervous system (which controls the fight-or-flight response) to release stored and stuck emotions. In this space of freedom and clearing, we are able to connect to all we want to do and be. From the inside out.
What is breathwork?
Breathwork is a term used for various styles of conscious breathing. Most Breathwork practices come from ancient yoga traditions and are based on Pranayama which is the regulation of breath through specific techniques and exercises. Our approach centers around 2-part and 3-part circular breathing methods incorporating breath holds, enhanced by a carefully curated musical backdrop providing a pathway to profound mental and physical renewal.
