Join Michelle as she leads you on a Somatic Breathwork Journey. This session will start with a description of why and how to use this breathing method, including the benefits, and contraindications for breath retentions. You will be guided through a short meditation to begin your journey. As we start breathing in rhythm with the specially selected music you may feel sensations, have thoughts of visions, and feel complete relaxation and sometimes pure bliss and/or euphoria. The outcomes are different for everyone as it is a deeply personal experience. Somatic Breathing is a powerful tool in the release of stress and anxiety. Every effort will be made to ensure you feel safe and supported throughout your journey no matter where it takes you.

Learn how to manage your stress response, teach your body to use oxygen more efficiently, strengthen lung capacity, improve heart rate, and blood pressure, and tap into your own feel-good chemicals all with your own breath!

Dress comfortably! We yoga mats and blankets for you but feel free to bring pillows, blankets, eye masks, and any props that may make you more comfortable. Often people go between hot and cold while practicing breathwork so we recommend socks. Towels, water and hot tea will be provided.
