Since Cello Yoga began at Abbotsford Convent in July 2023, Conrad Hamill and Michelle Li have welcomed over 1,000 participants into their warm and ever-growing community.

For this special large-scale event, Conrad and Michelle present Cello Breathwork Immersion — a two-hour experience combining guided breathwork, gentle embodied movement, and a live cello soundscape, designed for over 100 participants to come together in the atmospheric Abbotsford Convent space of The Laundry.

Beginning with grounding and accessible breath practices, the session guides participants into deeper relaxation and presence, before moving into gentle movement designed to soften the body, release tension, and support nervous system regulation. Conrad performs live throughout the experience, with a full sound setup designed to fill the space — an immersive musical container that supports the breath journey and invites connection to self and community.

This is an open-level experience with no prior yoga or breathwork experience required. You are welcome to participate seated or lying down for all or part of the session.

A note for our regulars - the location of this event is being held in The Laundry within the Abbotsford Convent - a larger space to account for this unique offer.

What to bring

Your own yoga mat.
Any props to support a comfortable position for breathwork (e.g. pillows, bolsters, warm layers).
Comfortable clothing suitable for gentle movement.
A water bottle
