Inspiration: The Breath

Details:

"Inspiration: The Breath" is a yoga workshop that will focus on breath awareness techniques to bring a sense of spaciousness to your body, mind, & spirit. There will be an educational component to this workshop: We’ll take some time at the start of the workshop to discuss some breathing mechanics in relation to the primary breathing muscle, the diaphragm. The majority of the workshop will be spent learning through experiencing how it feels to move in rhythm with your breath, to embody your breath, and to work with some directed breathing practices in yoga poses in order to feel a little more alive. We’ll end the workshop with a guided meditation, followed by a restorative savasana.

Working with the breath in yoga practice can be one of the most profound ways to create positive changes in your life. It's not about fixing anything; it starts with just noticing. What happens to your body and breath when you are feeling calm versus in distress? What happens when you slow down enough to notice how you feel? What happens when you try some simple practices to help regulate your stress response?

Props will be provided.

Please reach out to me with any questions! I’m looking forward to providing a space for learning and experiencing.
