BREATHE EASY WORKSHOP
Saturday, 6 July 2024
1.00pm - 4.30pm
A 3½ hour breathwork, relaxation and movement workshop to reconnect with your breath, find calm and discover how to breathe easily and fully.
You will gain:
✅ Better breathing habits
✅ Increased energy
✅ Tools to help you find a calm, restorative state
✅ Support for healthy posture and movement
✅ Improved sleep quality
✅ Enhanced fitness performance
How you breathe is integral to how you feel, how you move and your overall wellbeing.
In fact breathing is THE most constant and fundamental movement you do. Yet most of the time you likely don’t pay any attention to how you do it or the quality of your breath.
In this workshop you will experience verbally-guided “Not Yoga” lessons (and a little bit of anatomy!) to:
💫 Discover it's more than “breathe in, breathe out”
💫 Unravel and improve your breathing habits
💫 Regulate your nervous system with breathing
💫 How to enhance your breathing for everyday life.
Treat yourself to a workshop dedicated to healthy breathing and discover how better breathing can improve your life!
WHO IS IT FOR?
This is for you if you’re interested in increasing your energy levels, wellbeing or physical performance. It’s also great if you’re looking for ways to destress and find a sense of deep relaxation. And of course, it's especially helpful if you are asthmatic and / or a shallow / anxious breather.
