Breathing Workshop w/ Kat & Bodhi
2022-07-02 09:30 - 12:00 | Claris Conference Centre
Top 10 Things We’ve Learnt About The Breath
After running a successful breathing business (Breathe School), touring & teaching right around Australia & NZ, for the 6 years prior to arriving here on Aotea (2 years ago now).
We are so excited for this. We live & breathe this stuff (excuse the pun).
We have a wealth of expertise in bringing it to the mainstream, teaching in a way that is accessible to all.
Regardless of age, state of health or religion, we all have a breath and it’s about time we learn how to use it!
This is open to all. It is not attached to any religion or spirituality and you certainly don’t need a yoga mat or tights.
We’d love to see people from all walks of life here.
Whether you’re anxious, struggling to breathe, finding it hard to sleep, in pain or simply curious about the power of breath. Welcome.
