What is conscious, connected breathing?
Breathwork provides us with an opportunity to release tension from the body and helps us to reduce anxiety and stress by regulating the nervous system. A regulated nervous system means we are more likely to experience balance - physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually, meaning we can meet the world with greater resilience. The breath supports us to shift and release emotional blockages, helping us to open the body and the heart and to realise our fullest potential.
When we connect to the energy of our own breath and follow its guidance, it takes us on a journey of self-exploration, transformation and self-healing, encouraging a deeper connection to our body and ourselves. Through that connection, we get to feel into deeper parts of who we truly are, our inner essence.
This is an invitation to explore the power of conscious connected breathing. A deeply transformational breathwork experience followed by a Sound Bath (koshi chimes, shamanic drum, crystal bowls, Tibetan singing bowls and tree bell).
Everyone is welcome, no experience in breathwork is necessary. This is a safe, guided practice supported by a curated playlist to enhance your experience.
Contraindications: If you experience any of the following: cardiovascular issues, high or abnormal blood pressure, bipolar, epilepsy, or early or delicate pregnancy, please do speak with us prior to the event, to consider if this practice is right for you.

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.
Endeavour to arrive at 6:15pm to allow yourself space to visit the bathroom, relax and settle in. Centre of You is on Chapel St and ample time to find a car spot is best factored into your plans. Spots are unmetered from 6pm. Alternatively park in Anchor Place - the side street which runs opposite the arcade Centre of You is nestled within.
