Details

Welcome to The Art of Breathwork for Wellness and Stress Reduction. This weekend retreat will explore the universe of your breath and its potential to positively influence your health and longevity. We often take our breathing for granted, and many of us are not maximizing its full potential. In fact, many people are unaware of breathing patterns that contribute to increased anxiety and stress in the body. Pranayama is a mature step on the Yogic path, guiding us into the subtler energies or the pranic layer of our experience. We will practice one series of breaths twice daily, so you become proficient with this skill and can create a home practice by the end of the program. We will also explore modern stressors that lead to everyday anxiety, fear, and depression, which contribute to the epidemic of chronic conditions. We will offer various tools to help us take charge of and significantly reduce stress in our lives—pranayama, yoga asana, yoga nidra, healthy eating, and lifestyle changes. This time together will promote rejuvenation and healing for your nervous system. There will be plenty of time to connect with nature through walks across rolling hills, visits to a beautiful Sequoia grove, and simple leisure time to rest and allow your body to repair.
