What it Jewish Mindful Breathwork?
Many forms of Breathwork and breathing techniques have a rich tradition in personal and spiritual growth, including the Jewish tradition, as referenced in the Zohar and other Kabbalah sources.

There is a growing understanding of the body's involvement in holding trauma, depression and anxiety (Pizur Hanefesh). Many therapeutic approaches focus solely on the mind, without considering that the mind's contents are embodied and spirited.

In these sessions, we will combine elements of mindfulness, breathwork and jewish resources (scriptures, Parashot Shavua (weekly bible portions), quotes, blessings and more). This can create an experiential environment for body-mind-spirit experiences intended to facilitate a connection to the body, heart, mind, soul and God (the divine, universe, subconscious, or your name for it).

- All respectful faiths and religions are welcome to join.

- A portion of the earnings will go to Bet Chabad Tasmania, a non-profit supporting the Jewish community in Tasmania.

- The session will be recorded (only Gilad) and may go online for future practice.

Who does it fit?

You are welcome to join this session regardless your faith and religion.

As in this technique the Breather (participant) can choose how "deep" they would like to go, it fits almost everyone who wishes to explore their inner and spiritual world and is willing to step out of their comfort zone. This setting does NOT fit people with epilepsy, asthma, pregnant women or people who should avoid cardio activity. If you have one of the above please discuss with us before registering.

What to bring?

A yoga mat, warm blanket, comfortable clothing, water bottle and notebook and a pen.

How to sign up?

I’m excited with this workshop and to be a part of it, and hope to see you there.

About Me:

I am not a Rabbi and know very little about my heritage and it's incredible wisdom. Over the last 13 years, I have been teaching mindfulness and breathing techniques in Israel, and for the past 6 years in Tasmania, mostly in clinical environments—a psychiatric ward and a trauma recovery unit focused on overcoming anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I am in awe to these techniques and to the amount of times people are connecting to their spirituality, not intended, simply from breathing and listening.

Although I was born and raised in Jerusalem and am the son of a Hazan (cantor) and a yoga teacher, ironically I found my religion and spiritual practice deepening mostly here in Tasmania. In the last year and a half as a response to the war and the increasing antisemitism I feel a calling to share some of the above teachings from the perspective of mental health, personal growth, and spiritual development. To learn together, unite and strengthen.

May our hearts open and touch others, may the light within shine to the nations.

Hope to share a breath with you soon.
With love,
Gilad Hodya Shavit
