Workshop Theme: Introduction to Conscious Connected Breathwork

Breathwork is more than just deep breathing—it's a profound tool that taps into the ancient wisdom of our bodies. In this 2-hour workshop, we will go into the science of breathwork and explore several different breathwork practices.

We will also cover emotional regulation and grounding techniques. This is you are empowered to use practical tools to access real-time wellbeing and can learn how to use your breath as a tool to ease stress and anxiety.

We will complete the workshop with a 45-minute conscious connected breathwork practice. We will also engage in some inquiry exercises so you can become more familiar with one of the most powerful tools you have immediate access to: your breath.

Breathwork is a powerful support alongside talking therapy and preparation for or integration of plant medicine journeys.
