ABOUT THE BREATHING ROOM
The Breathing Room is a sacred space for you to reconnect with the most basic and powerful part of yourself, your own breath.
While lying down comfortably, with breath as your guide an experienced practitioner will facilitate a journey to promote relaxation.
The Breathing Room is a place of safety where you can release all fear and judgment, a place to just be with yourself and your breath, giving it the attention it needs to relax and release.
You'll be guided to both observe the breath as a compassionate witness and work with the breath, altering and strengthening its patterns and flows with gentle (Yin/Feminine - passive, receptive) techniques.
The Breathing Room is a place of sacred surrender, a place of devotion, of handing yourself over to Silence, a place to discover the power of The Space Between, and a place to uncover what your body and breath is trying to tell you about you.
Utilizing mindfulness techniques and ancient yogic practices you'll be guided into the still point of the breath; the place of no time, no space, and most of all no stress.
WHAT I TEACH:
In the breathing room, I teach only what I have learned through experience in my own relationship with breath, body, and soul. Over the past 20 years I've been blessed with a quiet spacious life, inwardly focused while also being a householder, affording me the time necessary to study, develop, and experience the unfolding of the breath and its effect on the bodymind. In devoting my life to a relationship with breath and body I have discovered that the unfolding is like a dance with the divine. The dance includes many movements; breath awareness, breath refinement, bodymind scaffolding, inner landscape exploration, revelations of blocks and edges, movements of grace, spiritual blueprinting, mergence and union.
This body of work is foundationally sound, anchored in both time honored ancient wisdom practices and modern sciences. The teachings are deeply rooted in the yogic traditions, ancient ayurvedic pranic vayus and the modern chakra system. The work is also seeded in the sciences of human anatomy and physiology, exercise physiology and somatic science, as well as aspects of modern psychology and mindfulness techniques. Most importantly however, this work grows and blossoms from your own inner truth and the unfolding of your nature which knows no bounds, these practices and sciences merely present a foundation and framework for us to conceptualize and surrender to the mysterious and divine unfolding of your unique being. I believe in and teach from a Yin perspective, never forcing, from this stance the dance of the breath is engaged, keeping the work very safe and respectful of boundaries.
As I, the facilitator, abide in the stillness with you, you'll begin to identify the stressors that inhibit the breath, begin to free the body from the effects of stress, and begin opening the breathing space in your body. . .
When we breathe properly, with every breath we are sending vital life energy (prana, qi, chi, etc.) to every part of the body, it is our most vital nourishment.
