Active Breath is an innovative somatic practice focused on integrating our awareness of the intrinsic connection between body, mind, and emotions through our physical experience of breath, voice, and movement.
It is a practical approach for cultivating and deepening your embodiment skills, building resilience, and developing conscious attention in your daily-lived experience.
Living in a time of whirlwind change and flux, we want to feel energized and healthy. There is a genuine need to cultivate self-care, reduce stress to build up your immune system, find joy in your active and interactive expression, and feel more grounded, calm, and aware in your body, mind, and emotional states.
Active Breath Somatic Practice is a tool for opening your potential and develops and shapes your embodiment skills to have a clearer sense of self and to make a positive contribution in your world.
