Join us in the sacred ceremony between body and breath.
Breathwork is an active meditation technique that facilitates emotional release in a safe and supportive environment. Through full rhythmic breathing, the conscious mind softens, allowing us to tune into our body wisdom to heal current stress, past wounds.
The workshop begins with a guided meditation and sharing exercise to help participants identify what needs to shift/heal in their lives and their intentions for the session. You will then find a comfortable position lying down and guided through the Breathwork for 35-40 minutes, all set to a cosmic soundtrack, and ending with deep relaxation. During the final phase of the workshop, gather in a circle and share experiences and if called to, Krista will answer any questions about Breathwork.
Breathwork has the power to change emotional default settings and lifetime patterns of depression, anxiety, and addiction by feeling and clearing with the breath. This innovative therapy aims to connect you to your intuition, creativity, and self-worth. Above all, this practice nourishes the heart; helping you to align with feelings of deep appreciation and self-love.
