This experimental workshop explores interventions in breathing patterns created by you, and inspired by your connection to and feelings about others. Taking inspiration from the Metta Bhavana (loving kindness meditation) we will conduct a slow somatic dive into your breath, your emotional connection to it, and explore different techniques you can use in order to work and play with your own breath.
Though breath is the focus of this class, we do not limit ourselves to classical breathing exercises. Taking inspiration from pranayama techniques as well as modern breathing practices (like Wim Hof and conscious connected breath), this workshop offers carefully designed adaptations to down-regulate your nervous system, explore your state of mind and notice. We will explore the way we breathe in a variety of contexts - from subtle breath manipulations to interpersonal explorations. How does my breathing change when I think of this person? When I am in that situation? How can I take control of my breathing? What have I learnt in yoga class and how can I adapt those pranayama practices to best serve me? What style and position feels good to me, specifically? How do I feel? How do I react? What do I need?
This soft Sunday afternoon offers a different approach to what you already do all day, every day and a priceless opportunity to take the time, for yourself, to explore your breath. Expect floaty feels, a little bit of partner work, a personalized approach and insights that you can takeaway.
