This 5 week program of Breath and relaxation training could change your life!
One of the often ignored and sadly misunderstood pillars of health is our BREATHING. This is a movement, an action with our body and psyche that happens from the first moments outside the womb, until we take our last breath. This 24/7 dance that our body does while awake and asleep is our most immediate link to life.
For much of my life as a yogini and movement teacher I had this question… “How do I change my breathing to be healthier and more efficient when I’m not consciously thinking about it?” I desperately needed to restore my own central nervous system and I was told many times that breath could be the master key. It wasn’t until I discovered the method designed by DR Konstantin Buteyko and the science behind this practice that I finally began to understand how to heal myself and help others.
I would like to call this my 5 week MASTERY program! Postural Shift and Dynamic Breathing are designed to fit perfectly together. Enjoy the regularity of a morning practice 6 days a week plus 2 lesson Q&A sessions to go deeper with theory, anatomy and get all your questions answered.
Morning practices Monday - Saturday 8-8:45am
Lesson/Q&A sessions Wednesday and Thursday 4-5pm
Fall is the perfect time for new beginnings …
The perfect time to start a new routine that is focused you becoming your best and healthiest self. Spaces are limited to keep the programs effective for each participant.
You won’t regret making this commitment to YOURSELF.
Change really IS possible!
Are you interested in:
Improved posture without having to think about it?
Getting out of chronic neck or back pain?
Having more joy, energy and vitality on a regular and consistent basis?
This is your opportunity to make lasting change, and feel the benefits in all areas of your life!
In order to make lasting change in any areas of our lives, we know that it takes consistent effort. After over 25 years of teaching movement I have observed that a small amount of daily effort is 1000 times more effective than one long session once per week.
It has always been my desire to help my clients achieve their desired results and goals. Offering these programs has been the Mose gratifying and effective teaching I have ever done. Clients who attended past programs can’t wait to do it again! I have found that this way of teaching not only creates a sense of community with the group, we all learn and grow and transit together in an exponential way. We magnify each other!
