In this popular workshop Kate will lead you on a discovery of the breath where you’ll learn about the many unknown benefits that breathwork can bring.
Workshop Details
The breath is the only part of the autonomic nervous system that we have conscious control over yet many of us and our clients only use a fragment of our lung capacity. The patterns of trauma fix rigidly into the body impacting on the posture and breath which in turn increases the potential for physical and mental ill health. These patterns will determine how closed or open a person is to themselves, others and life. Practicing conscious breathing is a safe way to dislodge these patterns held deep within the body and by doing so supports us to step back into the flow of life.
In this workshop you’ll learn:
- the many benefits of breathwork
- the basics of polyvagal theory and it’s links to trauma
- grounding techniques for safe breathwork practice
- the key structures involved in breathing with links to fight & flight
- breathing techniques for self-regulation and mobilising the nervous system.
Have 2 heavy(ish) books to hand for a lovely restoring breathwork practice – you’ll be invited to lie down but this can also be carried out seated.
