Session Description:

Breathwork is the practice of conscious rhythmic breathing and is a powerful tool in igniting the body’s natural healing systems. Jasmine will guide us through a 60-minute breathwork and guided meditation practice. We’ll be using our breath and visualization to connect with our innate joy and ease.

This session is perfect for people who seek to release- be it stress, or emotional blockages. Through deep intentional breathing, we’ll increase our capacity to feel more connected to our body, inviting in lightness, ease, and joy. Participants are welcome to bring a blanket, earphones, and a journal for a small amount of reflective writing.
