Winter Solstice Breathwork Journey
with Robyn Parets
Mon. Dec 16 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
$39
This workshop is a combination of somatic breathwork and energy healing. And, this simple, winter breathwork can be the fastest and most powerful way to move stuck energy out of your body. During our time together, you will be guided to go  beyond the conscious mind and into the subconscious space, where your body holds onto its stories, traumas, and joy. While in this state, you may encounter deep emotions and find yourself crying or even laughing.  Let these emotions show up and move through you. In this shifted state, you may also experience clarity, awareness, transformation, personal growth, and deep connection. This is a 3-part pranayama and is not the same as yogic or meditative breathing techniques that are typically practiced to calm, balance and relax the mind and body. Instead, this somatic style of breathwork is active and designed to shift your state of mind - so that you get out of your own way.  Come with an open mind and be ready to experience a powerful shift!
