Conscious Connected Breath
breathwork for transformation + release
Wednesday, September 16th at 7:15p
Whether you’ve been feeling stressed, you're in the middle of a transition, or exploring who you're becoming, this is your invitation to drop in and let your breath lead the way.Conscious Connected Breathwork is a tool used for nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and whole-body restoration.
Conscious Connected Breathwork (CCB) is a rhythmic, active breathing practice that works directly with your physiology. It can help to shift your body out of chronic stress states and into deep rest and recovery, and also move out of the thinking mind.
What to Expect
The session opens with a brief orientation to help you understand what's happening in your body and why, so nothing feels unfamiliar. From there, your facilitator guides you through the breathwork practice, supported by music calibrated to the arc of the experience.
Your only job is to breathe and allow.
During the session: warmth, tingling, or vibration in the hands, face, or body (a normal physiological response to CO₂ shift); emotional release such as tears or laughter; a sense of expanded awareness or deep calm.
After the session: reduced anxiety, mental clarity, improved mood, physical lightness, and a quality of rest that many participants describe as unlike anything they get from sleep alone.
Research and clinical use suggests breathwork can support: stress and anxiety reduction, processing of stored emotional and traumatic memory, improved heart rate variability, better sleep, and increased resilience of the autonomic nervous system

Nidra + Sound
meditation and crystal singing bowls
Friday, October 23rd at 6p
Get ready to relax + restore. Join us for this meditation experience. You'll experience the calming sounds of crystal singing bowls led by Rosemary Diaz. The sound resonance helps clear energetic and physical blocks and deepens your meditative experience.
We'll then move through a Yoga Nidra meditation with Erin centered around the powerful energy of the season. Nidra helps to create greater wellness in the body, release stress + enhance your ability to sleep.. so it's an all around amazing practice.
Yoga Nidra is a scientifically proven practice to deal with trauma, PTSD and deep stress, working with your brain to facilitate healing.
Each Nidra practice is unique, but you can always expect a sense of ritual and space so you can fully relax, lie back and receive the healing.
Comfy clothes encouraged, no experience required. Bring your mat and a small blanket/towel/pillow to get comfortable.
