Breathwork: Activation + Sauna and Plunge

Dates: 10 August 2024

Time: 8-10am

Venue: Hobartica

When you need a boost, you can use your breath to recharge the body, clear the mind, and activate the energy within. In this session, scientist and wellness teacher Dr Rebecca Chabot will lead participants through several dynamic breathing exercises, building to holotropic breathing, to boost the energy flow in the body and brain, leading to increased alertness and clarity. Activation breathing techniques are thought to facilitate mental and physical healing, improve self-awareness, and increase one’s positive outlook on life.  

Immediately following the one-hour workshop, participants will have exclusive access to the saunas and cold plunge pools. 

In this session, participants can experience light-headedness, tingling in the hands and arms, a sense of vibration, or a change in body temperature. These results are natural and expected, but if participants feel concerned, they will be encouraged to relax and recover. 

PLEASE NOTE: Activation breathing is not recommended for those with high anxiety or a history of panic attacks. If you have pre-existing medical conditions, please seek medical approval before booking. Additionally, cold water immersion is not recommended for people with heart or circulatory conditions. If you have any concerns about exposure to cold water or saunas based on your individual conditions or medications, always check with your doctor first.
