Breathwork
with Michelle Baker
SEASONAL RECOVERY & RESTORING VITALITY
Whether or not the holiday season and celebrations of a calendar new year are nourishing, depleting or energizing, winter in and of itself is a season for recovery and conserving our energy which, in turn, supports us in restoring our vitality - our focus for this session.
In traditional Chinese medicine, Winter is also the season of the Kidneys and these organs are considered the foundation of our vitality and house our essential energy, often referred to as "Jing." We’ll breathe with the intention of flushing out and replenishing the kidneys and recovering any energy that needs recovering.
Warm welcome.
___________
We’ll begin class in circle with an introduction to the breath and a communal conversation around the theme before diving into the main ingredient, the breath. We’ll also close our time together in circle.
BREATHWORK IS
This particular style of Breathwork is an active meditation technique that allows you to navigate and tend to your inner terrain by connecting with your breath to calm and ground your nervous system while relieving your mind and body of stuck, stagnant energy — in turn, creating a pathway for both an emotional and somatic release and the creation of new neural pathways.
Through liberating tension, stress and even limiting thought patterns, you’re better able to connect with the innate wisdom within, which can be a strong catalyst for opening your heart to honest self-love, self-healing, and self-acceptance.
Although it’s considered an activating breathwork practice, it has a feminine touch.
