The summer solstice marks the official beginning of summer, it's the longest and brightest day of the year. The solstice also ushers us into the elemental energy of fire and its connections to the heart, to passion, desire and joy. As we step through this portal let's take a moment to release what wants to be shed from this year and last and open our hearts via our breath. Summer is a potent time to connect and to come alive again, this active breath practice will assist your journey back to you.

Breathwork is an active meditation that by occupying the mind creates space for the body to heal physically, emotionally and spiritually. This is a practice that can aid in letting go of old narratives, traumas and fears as well as connecting you to clarity, inspiration and a greater sense of embodiment. If you have been feeling stuck in any area of your life, having difficulty allowing love in, moving past an old wound, I invite you to try this practice. As an active practice it can bring up emotions, but know that the body won't bring up anything it isn't ready to heal and the energy of the group will hold and support you. After Breathwork sessions people usually leave saying they feel energized and lighter.
