Breathwork
Breathing is the only autonomic process our body does which we can consciously control. However, the majority of us are not breathing the way our bodies are designed to.
Yogic breathwork known as Pranayama, is where we consciously adjust the breath to improve our physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.
Some benefits of breathwork are
increase energy and vitality
reduced stress and anxiety
Regulate the nervous system
improve lung capacity
boosts immunity and digestion
improve rest and sleep
Natural Cycles
All our offerings are from a foundation of returning to the wisdom of nature and the natural cycles of the earth,
the day
the seasons
the moon and / or menstrual cycle
and the shortest cycle of them all, our breath.
Using the cycles to be present, ground and anchor as we come home to the greatest and most divine version of ourselves
Embodiment
Embodiment can look and feel like many different things. Our offerings are deeply focused on yogic breathwork with a variety of complementary practices including somatics, dance, meditation, journaling, ritual, ceremony, Mantra and Mudra.
ACCESSIBLE EMBODIMENT PRACTICES:
Trauma informed and inclusive of everybody, exactly as you are, nothing to change, nothing to fix.
Embodiment asks us to be present within our body, mind and spirit. Engaging in the experience, feeling and action.
With a trauma informed approach we understand this isn’t available or safe to everyone in every moment and this is perfectly ok.
All our offerings are scaffolded and invitational. We support you to participate is a way that feels best for you.
You are your greatest guide.
Embodied Social Change
As equity is integral to embodied social change we offer tiered pricing for as many of our offerings as possible. We strongly believe our offerings should be accessible to everybody.
You will often find 3 different price options.
Previously the options were named Fully Waged, Part Waged and Unwaged. I now come to realise that peoples form of employment only takes into account one part of how resourced someone may be.
Someone may find they only need to work part time to be well resourced, while another may work full time but for many reasons may only be able to attend with a lower tier.
As such our price options are now called Sustainer, Supported, Community.
We encourage you to select a option which best suits your situation.
If you are called to these offerings and the investment is not financially possible for you please do make contact with us as we have sponsorship programs which are available on some offerings.
