The Inner Art of Breathing

Few of us utilize the full power of our breath!

Most of us leave our breathing patterns in the realm of the unconscious and have not learned to consciously use our breath to influence how we feel.

That can change in this one week end workshop, where you will explore how to engage your breathing to downregulate your nervous system or clear your emotional channels.

We offer a combination of intensive learning about the physiology of breath, body posture and movement and direct experiential immersion into breathwork.

This workshop is open to all who would like to learn how to use the breath for their benefit.

We also invite practitioners of the healing arts to learn how to help their clients use these tools.

The Benefits of Breathwork

Each Breathwork session is different.

Regular practice enhances health, promotes well-being, and brings a deeper connection with one’s Self.

The benefits of breathwork occur on physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels.

The sign at the Center for Body Oriented Psychotherapy was intriguing. I went to a class. There were about ten people in the large room in the Victorian house in Union Square (Somerville MA), and several of us were new to Breathwork.

Samvedam Randles was our facilitator. In the introduction she told us, “You will lie on the floor with your full attention on your breathing for approximately one hour.”

“You will breathe through your mouth ,” she continued, “ deep into your belly, and then expand the breath up to your chest. You will let go like a sigh. Like this. She demonstrated. “The breath is circular; the inhale goes into the exhale and back again to the inhale. You want to eliminate the pause between the inhale and the exhale. This will intensify the breath.”  Continue reading Breathwork as Transformation ~ A Student Perspective →
