Breathe Deeply

Many people don’t breathe freely due to stress, exhaustion, anxiety, depression and posture habits yet our breath is essential to living a happy and balanced life. The breath is the most accurate and instantaneous mirror of our inner state—reflecting our emotions, thoughts, and overall well-being. By consciously connecting with the breath through a safe and gentle process we regulate the nervous system and metabolize emotions in a more skillful way.  As we connect with the breath in this inspired way, we move towards more happiness in the heart, ease in the body and pleasure in life. Think of it as a re-boot to your body, mind and spirit. 

The benefits of breathwork can include: more clarity, reduced anxiety and depression, increased stress-resilience, increased energy, feelings of more ease and flow in life, decreased physical pain, heightened insight, awakened presence, expanded sense of connection with self and others.

As we navigate this evolving and uncharted world many are left with feelings of grief, loss and distress. Depression and anxiety are at all time high levels. The breathwork and meditative practices in this course work directly with the nervous system and provide skills and tools to find our way through the turbulence of this time.

Everything in the universe is in a constant state of vibration, including every bone, tissue, organ and cell in our body. When we are in a state of sound health, all of our body parts are vibrating harmoniously at their optimal or resonant frequency. When our vibration is not in sync with our optimal frequency we can feel out of sorts, imbalanced and depleted. This course incorporates toning, vocalization and sound meditations as a way to bring your vibration back into resonance. Benefits include deeper states of relaxation, reduced anxiety and tension, and a boost to the immune system. No previous experience with sound healing is necessary.
