About this Event
No experience necessary!
Are you wanting to reconnect and/or deepen your connection in partnership? Join us to reignite and deepen your emotional intimacy in your romantic connection.
Breathwork will be accompanied by exercises meant to release blocks and open up to more love, joy and vulnerability in your partnership - all in the circle of like-minded couples.
Everyday life in this culture can keep us busy and disconnected from the one thing we most desire in life - LOVE. In this circle, we will deepen into our connection to love, both in relationship and individually. And because connection and belonging are so core to our human experience, in connecting with love through breathwork, we support ourselves in being more present, more connected, less reactive and generally open to more possibilities in life.
We will begin our circle by centering our current experience of love, bringing awareness to our present existence and relationship with love (in ourselves and in partnership). Then we will spend time relating to our partners and opening up to our intentions in relationship and in ourselves. This will lead into a 30 minute breathwork process and then integration of your experience. Your journey in breathwork will be both personal and relational.
You will leave with not only a fantastic Nervous System reset and development of more resiliency in the face of stress, but also with new insights, new possibilities and deepening in your relationship with self-love and emotionally intimacy in partnership.
We will begin with an opportunity for connection in circle. Then we will center our bodies and spirits with a short movement practice. Movement will help us release stuck energies and patterns and open our hearts and energy channels. With our open hearts and bodies taking the lead, we will then move into breathwork. And finally will end with integration through discussion in the circle.
How Breathwork Works
Breathwork is an opportunity for you to take space for yourself to calm your thoughts and body, reset your Nervous System and tune into your body and soul. Breathwork is meant to help you shut off your thinking mind and feel more. People often have spiritual and expansive experiences and downloads as you are much more able to tap into your body and soul’s wisdom during breathwork. This breath originates from the yogic pranayama breath which you will laying flat on the floor for. While you can choose to make it intense, you may also choose to have a mellow journey.
While this breathwork style is generally considered very safe and gentle, for safe measures, it is contraindicated for folks with epilepsy, heart and blood pressure issues, those who are pregnant, those who have had strokes or aneurysms, recent abdominal surgery and those with a past or current diagnosis of bipolar or schizophrenia. If you suffer from any of these concerns you should not participate in breathwork practice.
