Experience the facilitation of a Breathwork class as a one- on- one therapeutic Breathwork session or in a group setting. Our practitioner, Rachel, gained her understanding and experience of Holotropic Breathwork, to create a unique, therapeutic- style of Breathwork.
This modality offers many benefits to the well being and mental/spiritual health of those who practice it. The process is a powerful way to process the emotional build-up that occurs from the daily stress of life as well as emotions suppressed for years. This process also helps to take oneself out of the never-ending chatter in our heads, which can be described as the egoic mind. The process can bring one out of the egoic state and into a state of present moment awareness and connection to your deeper or higher self. Music specially picked along with living drumming helps to facilitate and deepen the process.
