You hear it all the time: Just breathe! Take a breath! Count to 10 and just let it out! But does anyone ever teach you how to breathe

correctly or explain why controlled breathing can calm you down and help you focus?

 

Let Nicole show you various breathing techniques, a little bit of meditation, and help you start 2022 with a brand new 'toolbox' full of ways to stay calm.

​

This workshop will teach you about Pranayama, or the practice of breath control. Focus on breathing was a part of ancient yogic practices and is now underscored in many yoga classes, as well as being recognized by modern science as beneficial to the mind and body. 

​

Discover a group of exercises that teach you how to manipulate the rate and depth of your breathing. This will help you bring awareness to your breath, and ultimately, give you the same benefits you might get from a meditative practice.

​

1. Learn 4-5 pranayama exercises.
2. Learn techniques to get into a state of deep meditation.
3. Learn the three stages of meditation (Dharana, Dhyana, & Samadhi) while practicing breathing techniques.
4. Learn steps to ground yourself in mindfulness.
