A new livestream session – BREATHWORK 101 starts Wed Feb 15!

It is easy to take the breath for granted: it happens automatically, plus we are quite busy tackling other challenges in life, thank you very much. At the same time, it is a powerful tool – if we so choose to explore its benefits. By learning how to properly breathe, we can gain an accessible method to modulate our stress levels, manage pain and discomfort, boost recovery and our ability to rest, and even improve our posture.

Each week’s class will build on the last. We will:

  • Cover the basics of human anatomy pertaining to breath i.e. get acquainted with our “equipment”
  • Learn different breathwork practices that are simple and effective
  • Talk about how to set up a home practice so that you can continue your journey
  • Definitely cultivate a deeper respect and appreciation of the human body’s beautiful intelligence.

All you’ll need for this practice is a yoga mat, a blanket, and a chair. If you happen to have a meditation cushion or yoga block, please have those handy as well. While most of practice will be done seated or lying down, there will also be some occasional gentle movement.

BREATHWORK 101

Breathing Through: Practices for Resilience, Joy, and Compassion

It is with great excitement to invite you to my next workshop on Sunday, October 20th (3:30-5:30 pm) at Yoga Public Downtown! This workshop focuses entirely on breathwork – my favourite aspect of yoga practice.

Breathwork has proven effects in reducing stress, releasing stale emotions, and cultivating resilience and strength (try taking a deep breath in/out right now!). Different breathing techniques can be helpful in different ways; over the two hour workshop we will explore various traditional methods of breath to address the specific needs of a modern life.

Breath is a powerful tool available to anyone at any stage of life, fitness level, creed or background. Join me for a deep dive on understanding and mastering your own breath! Space is limited; sign up at www.yogapublic.com.
