Finding Your Breath
This workshop is led by Sarah Peters (she/her). She infuses years of experience as a trauma-informed occupational therapist with the practice of Yoga to share the gift of movement, connection, and healing. Her passion for sharing healing wisdom and holding nurturing space leaves an open invitation to explore a path of awareness and mindful movement. Her workshops are grounded in knowledge of movement patterns, anatomy, neuroscience, and the subtle body.
This workshop is for those who have heard “take a deep (or full) breath” and your response is “yeah, right, I wish”. In all seriousness, for those who have experienced anxiety, traumatic stress, chronic pain, pelvic floor issues, or recovering from illness this is for you. Holding our breath or breathing shallow is a common stress response that can become a persistent way of breathing that keeps us in a cycle of pain and angst. In this workshop we are going to explore the respiratory diaphragm and core connections. You will leave with several different strategies that you can begin implementing right away that empower you to feel at home in your breath and body.
This workshop is Saturday, February 11th from 11-1230pm in our wellness center. You need to sign up at least 48 hours before the workshop to allow us proper preparation. There is free parking in our lot. Take the elevator to the 3rd floor and our wellness center will be to the left.
