About
Conscious connective breathwork is like a work out for your nervous system. It supports you to liberate unconscious places of stuck energy in the body-heart-mind so you can experience greater resiliency, strength, flexibility and stability in your life.
In this practice, breathers lie down for about a 45 min journey of "active breathing." We invite breathers to go at their own pace and imagine that you are "receiving" the breath, so it has a more yin, or receptive, quality to it.
During the journey, you may experience your body and nervous system becoming activated and wanting to discharge energy through movement, sounding or emotional release. It is all welcome here!
Our facilitators are trauma-informed and trained to support you with unconditional presence and the option of consensual touch. Sometimes all we need is a loving hand to hold.
After the active breathing, you have the opportunity to integrate in stillness while being bathed in music. This is just as important as the active breath, because our nervous system is recalibrating to a new baseline.
