GROUP BREATHWORK - 5/28/23, 3p to 4:30p PST
THIS IS A LIVE ONLINE CLASS.
Via Zoom we will breath together from the comfort of our personal nests. There are MANY styles of breathwork available to us, this style is an ACTIVE, open mouthed, 2-part breathing pattern that invites deep sensation and focus from the brain into the visceral body. It is intended to loosen conscious and unconscious holding, physical/mental/emotional pattering and can stir what is just under the surface for release, recognition and processing. After a brief intro, breath observation and intention setting, the bulk of our time will be spent breathing to a thoughtfully curated playlist with my remote assist and cueing.
Online work has a different potential for potency, though we are together, we are also in the privacy of our own spaces. This physical distance is an invitation to drop into receiving the power of your singular inner wisdom and discernment to follow wherever your body-breath leads you. No previous breathwork experience is necessary to attend, just a willingness to receive! One to one sessions are also available, see CLASSES.

WHY BREATHWORK
Breathwork is a phenomenal tool for releasing stuck physical, mental and emotional energy. Every single cell in our body requires a steady flow of oxygen to thrive.
In a modern world, which often ignores the wisdom of the body in exchange for efficiency and progress, our breath can become shortened as muscles constrict and life force is dampened in reaction to environmental and emotional stresses. Our breath is a deep and constant source of nourishment and energy for our aliveness. Consciously engaging in an active breathing practice washes and nourishes the body with life giving oxygen, stimulating both cellular and subtle body cleansing that invites a tangible inner and outer sense of ease, balance and awareness.
Learning this active 2-part pranayama based breathing practice will stimulate your senses and the innate healing intelligence of your own body. The simple focused power of your repeated inhale and exhale will increase energy flow, assist to release anxiety, invoke new bodily sensation, interrupt current physical, mental and emotional patterns and magnify your sense of SELF.
Each class is the same format, and like walking a labyrinth, the physical path remains constant, as your experience evolves and changes.

A QUICK GUIDE TO SLIDING SCALE (thanks to Worts and Cunning!)
The top price class ticket is the actual cost of the class. If you choose a ticket price below the top tier you are receiving a discount.
The middle price is for those who are able to meet their basic needs but have little-to-no expendable income. Paying for this class may qualify as a sacrifice but it would not create hardship.
The bottom price is for those who struggle to meet basic needs and paying for this class would still be a significant hardship.
The Pay-It-Forward price is a few bucks above the actual cost of the class and that extra money goes towards supporting scholarships as well as future free and low-cost classes. Essentially it's an opportunity to not only take your class but also support your fellow community members while you're at it.
