Free Community Breathwork in Centennial Park

Restorative Flow Breathwork Community Event

Join us for a refreshing community breathwork session at Centennial Park! This free event offers a peaceful opportunity to reconnect with yourself and nature in one of our city's most beautiful green spaces.

What to Expect: Our guided breathwork session follows a carefully designed flow to help you transition from daily stress into a deep parasympathetic (rest and digest) state:

1. Grounding & Centering - Begin with gentle coherent breathing at 5-6 breaths per minute to establish presence
2. Activation Phase - Progress to more dynamic breathing patterns with faster inhales/exhales to release tension and energy blockages
3. Transformation - Experience guided breath holds following activated breaths to promote cellular oxygenation and mental clarity
4. Integration - Transition to extended exhales and coherent breathing ratios (inhale 4, exhale 6) to activate the vagus nerve
5. Deep Restoration - Close with extremely slow, diaphragmatic breathing to fully engage your parasympathetic nervous system

This 45-minute practice is accessible to most levels and requires no previous experience.
