33 Minute Breathwork + Deep Relaxation Meditation LIVE from West Los Angeles
Tuesday, 7 May, 2024
Have you been feeling stressed out with your family, over-exhausted from work, or seeking a new way to treat your insomnia? If that sounds familiar, please join me for a 33 minute podcast episode of Breathwork and Deep Relaxation Meditation. Breathwork teaches us to release stress in an easy way – through exhaling. The class also will conclude with a Deep Relaxation practice, called Yoga nidra. This meditation is known yogic sleep — it's the state between being awake and asleep. Come join me if this feels like something you'd like to practice! Sign-up for my Breathworker email community for FREE Breathwork podcasts at Breathwork.center Sign-up for my in-person Breathwork for Beginners Workshop at Yoga Changes June 9 in Santa Monica, CA. Whether mental and emotional fitness, physical relaxation, or calming the mind, Breathwork and Deep Relaxation Meditation can help soothe the body. What does Breathwork feel like? In Breathwork you breathe with intention, which helps to calm down the nervous system. Intentional breathing helps to relax, since many of us spend our days breathing in fear, worried about our job security, or even anxious about missing traffic lights. We are burned out, Breathwork retrains us on how to breathe in a more healthy and even fun way. To practice Breathwork you lay on your back, breathing in a rhythmic breathing pattern. Music is playing in the background, and your goal is to relax your body. You breathe in two deep inhales. First in the belly, then in the chest. Then you exhale it all out. It goes like this: - Inhale in the chest - Inhale in the belly - Exhale it all out What does Deep Relaxation (Yoga nidra) feel like? This podcast will offer Deep Relaxation meditation (Yoga nidra) after the Breathwork. This state is achieved when your body is deeply relaxed, while your mind remains awake. Yoga nidra is an ancient meditation practice that takes you deep into your subconscious. It helps treat anxiety, alleviate stress, heal trauma, and gives people relief from insomnia. It features a body scan, where you mentally rotate attention to specific parts of our body. You focus a few seconds of energy on your body from forehead to throat to your toes and everywhere in between. The idea is to quickly scan the body, with each body part getting a specific and relaxing focus. Whether it is dealing with daily frustrations, general anxiety or long-term grief – the practice is a natural remedy to the stress of life. It helps to change our perception of these stresses. To practice Breathwork you lay on your back, breathing in a rhythmic breathing pattern. Music is playing in the background, and your goal is to relax your body. ***Please do not practice breathwork while operating a vehicle. If you are pregnant or have any known health issues, please consult your doctor before performing Breathwork. If you feel unsafe during the meditation, have a history of trauma, or feel overly activated, you can stop, breathe through your nose, and open your eyes and stop the practice. You breathe in two deep inhales. First in the belly, then in the chest. Then you exhale it all out. It's a lot of fun, thanks for joining!
