Breath Lab: Techniques & Drills

Learn breathing techniques from Pranayamas to breathing drills from modern masters.

We will explore practices to up-regulate and down-regulate our energy and nervous system. We will breathe to reduce stress, anxiety, and tiredness. To feel grounded, energetic, and/or connected with your center/spirit.

Experience the physical, energetical, mental, and emotional effects of conscious breathing.

WHAT IS A BREATHWORK LAB?

• Lab: a place to experiment and practice.
• Breathwork: the conscious modification of the breath for a purpose. It could be for calming, activating, meditating, trauma-release, fitness, etc.

This is not a Healing Breathwork session for emotional release. We offer those classes on other days though!

DOS & DONT’S

Please Bring comfortable and warm clothes, tissues and water. You might get hot and also cold in the same session. This class is suitable for all.

We will practice standing, sitting, or lying down depending on the technique and the class may include basic stretching.
