HOLOSOMATIC BREATHWORK & STRETCH | with Smaragda (Currently not scheduled in - keep an eye on the schedule from May forward!)

In this breathwork class, we start with some movement and stretching to ground ourselves. Then we tap into the wisdom our bodies hold. Our bodies are incredible storytellers, holding onto the wisdom of every joy and pain we’ve experienced. Even when our minds try to move on, our bodies remember and guide us. Trauma gets stuck in our bodies, at a cellular level. So, to heal fully, we need to pay attention to our bodies too.

Breathing is our link to our bodies and our inner selves. It helps us let go of stored-up and suppressed feelings and emotions. Guided by Smaragda, a trained Trauma-Informed Instructor, participants are encouraged to focus on their breath, allowing it to become deeper and more rhythmic. Through conscious connected breathing (CCB), individuals can access deep-seated, and suppressed emotions, facilitating their acknowledgment and eventual release.

With each breath, we honor how our minds and bodies are connected, finding peace and healing in the process.

You will discover the powerful connection between breathwork and positive change in your mind, body and life.

Breathwork is a powerful tool for deep, long-lasting transformation and improved well-being.
