Free session - Mindful Breathing, Yoga and Nature Walk

Breathe Balance is pleased to introduce our next event: Harmonic Breathing, Yoga Asanas, and Nature Walk! Dive into the science and art of harmonic-rhythmic breathing, which combines breath with movement to elevate energy, focus, and resilience.

Whether you’re new to breathwork or a seasoned practitioner, this workshop offers tools to refine your practice and integrate rhythm into daily life.

New to breathing and yoga practices? This workshop is a perfect introduction. Seasoned practitioner? Discover new perspectives and practices to enhance your existing routine.

Location: Meet outside North Sydney Station - Blues St, Stand E (near Views Hoel) at 8:25 AM for a 15-minute walk to our practice spot near Sawmiller's reserve.

What to Expect:

• Discover the transformative power of harmonic breathing in this hands-on session.
• After a brief intro, we’ll explore different Harmonic breathing patterns (like Box Breathing and 4-7-8) for 30 minutes. Next, flow through a 40-45 minute dynamic yoga sequence synchronised with breath cycles to build strength and mindfulness.
• We’ll close with a 3-4 km nature walk around Blues Point and North Sydney, practising rhythmic breathing techniques in motion (e.g., matching steps to breath counts).
• Optional social brunch follows at a highly-rated Kirribilli cafe (MeetU)!

What to Bring: Yoga mat or thick towel/rug for practice which you can carry during the walk, water bottle (refills available), sun protection, and optional snacks. Wear comfortable layers for movement and walking in the outdoors. Please check our FAQs for more tips: https://breathebalance.org/faqs
