Breathwork to Rest and Restore

About this event

Catch your breath in this digital detox session!

Registration Required.

Discover how your breath can become a powerful tool for managing stress and restoring balance. In this guided breathwork session, you’ll learn gentle, evidence-informed breathing techniques inspired by the Buteyko Method that help calm the sympathetic (“fight-or-flight”) response while supporting activation of the parasympathetic (“rest-and-digest”) nervous system. Through slow, mindful breathing practices, you’ll improve breath awareness, promote relaxation, and leave feeling more centered, grounded, and resilient. Suitable for all experience levels. If you do not have a mat, don’t worry, mats will be available!
