This workshop is dedicated to developing and/or improving your level of consciousness around the quality of your breath. Being aware of breathing patterns is an essential aspect in gaining control of our responses linked to anxiety, fear, or stress that can induce rapid, shallow breathing. The ability to slow the breath down, inhale more deeply when these situations arise, can help to supply the body with oxygen, counteract the fight or flight response, and bring focus through the tangible activity of rhythm in muscular movement of the lungs and diaphragm to help to keep your attention. This is the fulfillment, action, and movement of the deep energetic forces called apana (elimination) and prana (life bringing).

This level of breath awareness helps you find control of your breathing and cultivate a centered focus to redirect heightened responses toward a calmer, more positive position from which to deal with stressful situations.

When we get to the restorative section of the workshop we will be using what was learned in our breath exploration coupled with a select group of supported postures to enhance your experience of calming the central nervous system, releasing tense muscles and holding patterns with the aid of blankets pillows, bolsters, blocks, walls, and eye coverings.
