"Find Breath, Find Balance" 2 - 5pm Join Shelly as she passionately shares this educational and empowering workshop discussing the mechanics and physiology of breathing and how it influences numerous systems of our body, including how we move and how we feel. Breathing patterns can influence all 5 Koshas (physical, mental, emotional, energetic and spiritual) of our existence; conversely, the state of our Koshas can influence our breathing patterns. We will discuss and explore some of the most common and inefficient breathing patterns in our culture (and in the yoga studio!) and how they can lead to states of imbalance and influence our overall function, health and well being. A fun and inspiring practical yoga component consisting of asanas, pranayama and meditation will be included.
