Breath work & Meditation

Carbon dioxide is the chief hormone of the entire body; it is the only one that is produced by every tissue and that probably acts on every organ.

Yandell Henderson, Ph.D. - Cyclopedia of Medicine (1940)

The purpose of practicing these breathing techniques is to stimulate the bodies ability to hold more O2 within the cells, stimulate the neurotransmittors responsible for activating the Parasypathetic nervous system to get out of fight or flight responses, reduce anxiety and depression.  There is much to be said about increasing CO2 levels in the body. 

These ancient breathing techniques are commonly called Pranayama which literally translates to Prana - Vital life force - Yama - Gain control.  

In this one hour event, we will explore and practice some of the many breathing techniques available to us

We will complete the experience with a guided meditation.
