Therapeutic Breathwork, or Conscious Connected Breathing is a practice developed to bring about deep change. By facilitating movement through the different kinds of repression that limit our ability to fully experience life; breathwork works to identify and integrate both the physical and psychic parts of ourselves. Modern trauma research confirms that repression lives in the body, on a deep level, sometimes hard to find; even in the most dedicated efforts to diagnose and treat.
This style of Breathwork is akin to holotropic breathing; holotropic meaning “moving towards wholeness”. It is an active meditation, with the breath, that brings us into an expanded state of consciousness. In a cyclic, slightly-faster-than-normal-paced breathing pattern, we breathe to a set of curated musical accompaniment that supports and augments the experience.Therapeutic Breathwork is an effective and powerful tool for exploring ourselves; traversing the emotional, physical, and energetic bodies. This conscious practice allows what may be buried in the psyche, or embedded within the structure of the body, to arise and be processed in a safe and supportive container. It allows us to be in our bodies; held in a space of radical presence and Self-nurturing.
Oftentimes we are left feeling lighter, spacious, grounded and aligned after the session. Breathwork is a powerful and accessible tool for those of us who struggle with anxiety, stress, depression, substance use, pain, grief, trauma, insomnia, and more. It is also a great tool for encountering the Self, ever-more intimately, while building self-love, agency, and empowerment. I’ve experienced Breathwork transform many lives, as it has my own.

WRITE + RELEASE
in collaboration with the Santa Fe Literary Festival
with Emily Hyland
In-Studio Only
Monday, May 19 | 1:30 - 3:30pm
Like yoga, writing is a spiritual practice. A blend of yin yoga, process writing and sharing, and energy clearing, this workshop is designed to hold space for emotional release through feeling what is happening in the physical and emotional bodies and allowing those discoveries to emerge on paper and in community.
Time spent together interweaves yoga asana with writing and sharing as an ongoing opportunity to move through vulnerability to experience truth, and to foster the courage to tell it.
Price includes a copy of Emily’s book Divorced Business Partners: A Love Story. At the end of our time together, engage in dialogue about the writing & publishing process with Emily, and have her sign your book!
YOGA KURANTA: IYENGAR ROPES WORKSHOP
with Tatyana Wagner
In-Studio Only
Saturday, May 24 | 2:00 - 4:00pm
In this two hour workshop we will explore the use of ropes for all groups of yoga asanas - sitting and standing asanas, forward bends, backbends, inversions and restorative poses. We will use the ropes to become aware of our alignment, and to open, stretch and strengthen specific areas of the body. It is also a lot of fun to practice with ropes! Kuranti means a puppet. We will become like puppets suspended by ropes.
*Register now, as this workshop is limited to six participants.
