2nd Thursday of each Month

Breathwork is a Western term that originates from the 5,000 year-old practice of Pranayama, from the Eastern Yogic tradition. Pranayama means “the expansion of life force energy”. I like to call this ancient active meditation a “portal to Spirit” because it can expand consciousness and create an “awakening” for one who is ready.
This is where science and mysticism meet for a needed heart-to-heart connection. Breathwork benefits all four bodies: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. This powerful practice can:
- Ease physical pain
- Improve sleep and rejuvenate energy
- Improve digestion
- Alkalize the body
- Clear stuck energy and emotions
- Relieve stress and anxiety
- Help to release limiting beliefs and negative thoughts
- Calm the “monkey mind” and increase focus
- Provide clarity and awareness
- Aid in finding solutions to life’s challenges
- Help to heal trauma, addiction, and PTSD
- Open the heart chakra
Session includes:
- Detailed instructions and tutorial of one accessible breathwork practice
- Guided, active breathwork session in a laying down position
- Supplemental music and sound healing techniques
- Extended resting period for restoration and integration
Note: The breath practice shared is gentle, restorative, and done in the laying down position. It is not related to rebirthing, holotropic, or transformational breathwork; although, many participants have been known to experience deep transformation that is within grasp and easy to assimilate. It will be done at an elongated pace, not intended for hyperventilation, hypoxia, or regression. Open to individuals of all levels and belief systems, no experience required.
Please arrive a few minutes early to get your space set up. Bring a yoga mat, blanket, eye cover, and bottle of water. A bolster/pillow for under knees and a journal are optional.
The energy transfer for this event is donation based. Please join Dr. Michaela Bolas for an uplifting and transformative evening!
