About the experience:
Join us for an immersive experience where your breath becomes a catalyst for healing and profound change.
Through the practice of biodynamic breathwork, you will have the opportunity to release deep-seated tension stored within your body, while simultaneously reducing anxiety and stress by regulating the nervous system. A regulated nervous system means you are more likely to experience balance - physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually, meaning you can meet the world with greater resilience.
Breathwork has the potential to help shift limiting beliefs, break free from negative patterns, and shed outdated narratives that have been holding you back from moving forward. By
engaging in connected breathing, you will unlock the ability to release emotional blockages, opening the gates to your body and heart to deepen your connection with self and the world around you.
Enhancing this deep experience, you'll be accompanied by the healing frequencies of live instruments. The sound of koshi chimes, shamanic drum, resonant tree bell, crystal and Tibetan singing bowls will guide you into a state of blissful relaxation, allowing effortless integration of your breathwork journey.
After leaving a breathwork and sound bath session, you will feel deeply centered, grounded, and energetically alive, with a heightened sense of focus and clarity. You will also acquire practical tools that you can easily integrate into your daily life for lasting benefits.
This workshop offers a safe and nurturing space to explore breath as a powerful tool for healing, self-discovery, and personal growth.

Things to note:
Bring a water bottle and journal. An eye mask is recommended to help you surrender further into the practice. We recommend you wear comfortable, unrestrictive clothing as we will be sitting, moving and laying on the floor.
There are plenty of mats, bolsters, blankets and cushions to get cosy with though feel free to bring your own for a felt sense of additional familiarity and groundedness. We recommend not eating anything within at least 1.5 hours prior to session. It's best to avoid caffeine on the day. Think about an intention for your session, what is holding you back in life? Then be ready to let it go.
Personal responsibility: Please make an assessment on whether you are feeling stable and resourced enough to explore the practices on offer in this event.
Arrival: Endeavour to arrive between 10:45am - 11:00am. To preserve the experience for all involved, doors will close at 11:15am. Truly, it breaks our heart to have to turn latecomers away yet the disruption to the whole group experience by virtue of lateness does require management. We ask that you find understanding and consideration for the timebound nature of the container and make every effort to arrive on time.
Driving: Know Centre of You is on Chapel St and ample time to find a car spot is best to be factored into your plans. Anchor Place has 2-hour open-air parking in the side street that runs opposite Centre of You.
Public transport - tram: Both the number 6 tram & 78 tram stop on the corner of High St/Chapel St. This is stop 31 on the number 6 tram (Moreland/Glen Iris) & stop 45 on the number 78 tram (North Richmond/Balaclava).
Public transport - train: Both Prahran & Windsor stations along the Sandringham Line will get you walking distance to Centre of You.
Finding Centre of You: Centre of You is nestled within the arcade that Chapel St Bazaar is in (217 Chapel St). It is up a flight of stairs with a wide landing at the half-way-point. Unfortunately, this current version of Centre of You does not have a wheelchair accessible lift. If you could use support in getting up the stairs or would like to discuss ways to make your experience at Centre of You more comfortable, please reach out via grace@centreofyou.com.au or via DM over on Centre of You Instagram.
