Hudson Valley LIVE Workshop: THE ART OF BREATHING

Sunday, February 8th, 2:30-4:30 PM

Elevate and Play Yoga, 7582 North Broadway Red Hook, New York

Cost: $30.00 Register: https://elevateandplay.com/special-events/

We are lucky beings in that the body breathes us. 
Much of the time, we don’t think too much about it.  What if we did?

Have you ever noticed that when we are stressed, frightened, frustrated, confused, and (even) joyful, one of the most common human reactions is to hold the breath? The irony here is that in all these instances, we need breath the most to regulate the systems of the body and improve ability to focus and take appropriate actions.

In this workshop we’ll practice different breathing techniques that will:

-support the systems of the body and help in regulating the nervous system
 -oxygenate the blood, open space through the heart and lungs
-allow for an increase in energy, focus and presence.
-move more organically into the body and use it as a listening tool for intuition and choice making
 
This workshop is good for every body.
