An Introduction to Transformational Breath®
The way you breathe is a) as unique to you as a fingerprint, b) directly reflected in the way you show up in life. If you can master your breath, you can master your life. Come and join this 3 hour workshop where you will learn a powerful technique that will transform the way you breathe. You will go on a journey with your breath which will help you to better understand your own breathing pattern and what that means. Most of us may have a dysfunctional breathing pattern and are only using about a third of our whole respiratory system. Not even half. We take over 20,000 breaths a day and if I was to ask how many of them are you actually aware of I am guessing maybe none. What else we may not be aware of is that how well we are breathing, can directly impact how well we are feeling. By starting to pay attention to our breath we can start to notice and then unlock some of the tensions, stresses and traumas that we can store away unconsciously that can impact our health and wellbeing without us even realising. Transformational Breath® is an integrative, connected breathing technique that allows you to access stored emotions and traumas in the body to enable them to integrate and heal. We will be exploring the physical, mental / emotional and spiritual elements of our breath. This is a conscious connected breathwork practice and is suitable for beginners and experienced breathers alike.
