Sacred Breath Work with Tessa
AUGUST 21ST 7PM
An invitation to reconnect and embody the truth of who you are. Join me for a beautiful inward journey of Sacred Breath work – a conscious, continuous, circular breathing technique to nourish and restore our nervous systems together in community.
Our breath connects us with our body’s wisdom. Through awareness of internal sensations and perceptions, we gently release stored emotions, limiting thoughts, memories, and trauma from the cells of our body. Breath work itself is the medicine.
​
My intention is to hold a compassionate and grounded container where together we can:
-
Release stress and emotional heaviness
-
Embody greater calm and steadiness
-
Gently explore what lies beneath patterns of anxiety or fight-or-fight
-
Create space for clarity, healing and peace
-
Release what is no longer yours to carry
-
Reconnect with our hearts
No experience needed – just bring your curiosity! All are welcome.
You’ll be guided through a full hour of breath work supported by healing energy and
sacred sounds.
​
What to bring:
-
Yoga mat
-
Water
-
Comfy, non-binding clothes
-
Eye cover (optional)
(Space is Limited to 8 breathers total)
