Breathwork is a form of meditation, embodiment, and somatic self-healing that has been practiced since ancient times. Participants will be guided through a circular breath patterns against a backdrop of soothing music; a technique allows for the unwinding of body and mind, great for alleviating chronic mental and physical stress, anxiety, and pain. It is normal to experience a range of sensations and emotions during breathwork - this will be a safe space for whatever may arise.
