WE ARE ALL BREATHING BODIES A body exploration through BREATHWORK
Emi Hoshino - certified Neurodynamic Breathwork facilitator & Jikiden Reiki practitioner
Join Emi on a Breathwork journey as we explore our inner landscape. Emi will guide you through an active and conscious breathing technique to shift our attention from our thinking mind to our body, traveling inwards to access an expanded state of awareness. In this expanded state, there is an opportunity to experience deep healing on a physical and emotional level, allowing our body to release trapped emotions, stagnant energy and whatever emerges that may need to be witnessed with curiosity and compassion.
Through regular practice, participants have been known to experience:
-greater self-awareness & connection to their body
-release of unconscious blocks & patterns
-relief from stress & anxiety
-increased clarity & creativity
-peace & relaxation
This workshop includes:
-an introduction to the Breathwork principles and technique
-a guided meditation to ease us into the breath
-60 mins breathwork journey supported by sound and music
-integration after the journey through sharing/journaling
Investment: sliding scale $45-55
Please bring:
-mat
-blanket
-eye mask
-journal/pen

Embodying Renewal: moving into new possibilities with ease
As spring awakens the earth, it’s our time to awaken to new possibilities within. In this workshop, we blend somatic movement, breathwork and the practices of Nonviolent Communication to explore a grounding, body-centered approach to restoring safety, regulating the nervous system, and strengthening boundaries.
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) offers a beautiful framework that helps us learn how to identify our feelings and needs. And as we learn how to do that, we create resonance in our bodies and become more firmly rooted in our boundaries in relation to ourselves and others. Stepping into the world through this lens opens us up to new possibilities for how we express our truth and receive what we need.
And with an integrated somatic movement practice accompanying this, we cultivate deep-rooted safety in our bodies. We befriend our nervous systems and allow our bodies to gently self-regulate, creating the foundation to grow, expand, and move forward with trust.
What to expect:
This workshop includes some teaching, some practicing and some guided movement. If you experience challenges getting to the floor we offer a chair-based somatic practice. Also note that space is limited, this will be a small, intimate gathering of 6-8 people. Click here to join!
Releasing Unconscious Contracts
Unconscious contracts often arise from childhood experiences as our nervous system tries to protect us from future pain, yet they keep us stuck in patterns of self-judgment. When we believe something negative about ourselves, it’s not truth, it’s trauma.
Through a unique mindbody approach you’ll learn how to clear blocks to self-warmth and develop a resonant self-witness—engaging both the mind’s awareness and the body’s wisdom. When we release these contracts, our bodies can relax, and we can move into a larger, more compassionate sense of self.
