The Embodied Breath with Paul Wooden, July 5

Unlock clarity, presence and confidence in the deeper dimensions of Yoga practice.

In this immersive workshop, we explore the breath and energy as a gateway to greater clarity, emotional resilience, and embodied presence. Through guided breath-work, mindful movement, and somatic awareness practices, you will reconnect with, and come to understand the innate inner wisdom unfolding within you.

The workshop offers simple and practical tools to regulate your nervous system, refine your sensitivity, and encourage you to live from a place of authenticity and ease.

Come breathe, reset, and return to your innate power of presence.

Part One

EMBODIED MOVEMENT

Gravity, Ground & Space

We begin with an exploration of how gravity can assist us in grounding our asana practice. Finding ground is foundational for releasing the spine and breath from habitual self contraction and opens the way for uncovering the natural self-organising dynamics of energy in the body. When our energy is grounded, open and clear, the subtler aspects of practice become available.

Part Two

PRANA, BREATH & MIND

Pranayama & Yoga Psychology

Pranayama is an intimate exploration of the subtle dynamics of our inner lives. We are not simply breathing with Pranayama practice, we are cultivating a refined capacity for feeling and an exquisite sensitivity to the responsive intelligence of life. When the spine and breath are free of habitual self contraction, so is the mind.
