“Our breathing is not separate from our mental state or our emotional state. In many ways, they are the same thing. And on the other side of that equation, our breathing is not separate from our body’s posture or its ability to move, or its strength. So it’s this sort of pivotal piece in the middle. If we can adjust some small things even a little bit, there are big gains on either side.”

PRACTICAL STRATEGIES TO BEFRIEND THE BREATH IN YOUR HEALING WORK

(for yourself or others)​

Thursday, OCTOBER 3, 3-5 PM EST

Cost: $49 USD 

SPACE IS LIMITED. RESERVE YOUR SEAT HERE. 

Are you looking for ways to help yourself (or your clients) breathe easier, but don’t know where to start? Maybe you’ve found that being told to “take a deep breath” makes you feel more anxious, or that the relaxing “breathwork” session you took left you feeling totally freaked out. 

Traumatic stress in the body can change our breathing, and even well-intentioned cues often fall short or exacerbate the problem. Join Laura Beth Wenger and Jennifer (Integrative Breathing Therapist) for this two-hour workshop on Better Breathing for Trauma. Blending research-backed methods and your embodied intuition, you’ll leave with practical strategies and a better understanding of how to work with the breath in your own body as a resource for trauma healing, and to support others as well. ​

In this two hour experiential workshop, you'll learn: 

  • How to recognise adaptive patterns of traumatic stress breathing

  • Practical, trauma-informed tools to shift into more relaxed breathing states

  • Ways to shift the breath when the breath itself is stressful. 

Space is limited. Register here today.
