In this workshop, you will learn to support your clients through the introduction of facilitated client breathing and basic verbal and hands-on coaching skills to recognize and relax breathing restrictions common in many people. You will also be able to better care for YOURSELF through breathing self-evaluation, exercises for energizing and calming, and a hands-on facilitated breathwork session to unwind deep patterns of tension in the body/mind.

It is essential for any massage practitioner and any caregiver to have stress-relieving techniques and relaxation skills to give proper ongoing care and support to others. Breath is your CONSTANT COMPANION and pathway to being present in the moment. How can attention to breath, or conscious breathing enhance your massage practice and your life?

Conscious breathing enhances self-awareness, intuition and emotional and physical health thereby reducing tension, fatigue and extra effort during the practice of massage. Having a conscious relationship with the breath allows you to help yourself and your clients use this resource more effectively.
