Rest and Release

Rest and Release is a chance to reconnect to yourself and others through journalling, meditation and conscious connected breathwork.

This style of breathwork is an activating breath - it is a continuous, rhythmic pattern of deep inhalation and relaxed exhalation. This type of breath aims to facilitate emotional release and inner exploration. From a scientific perspective, this type of breath can influence the balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the nervous system. We will aim to activate our nervous system and build momentum towards a peak before returning to a down-regulated, calming pattern of breath. By building intensity and activation with our breath, we release tension or stored emotions from our body and allow our nervous system to return to balance.

What to bring:

• Warm, comfy clothes

• Journal and pen
