Our breath supports us in numerous ways, such as regulating our nervous system, reminding us to stay grounded in the present moment and helping us feel more at home in our body. Our respiratory system is part of our autonomic nervous system, which means our body will automatically and unconsciously continue breathing without thought. That being said, the breath is the one part of our nervous system we can have direct influence on by regulating the control of our breathing. Yoga offers us the opportunity to do just that, and as a result, opens up a world of opportunity for building resilience. Familiarizing ourselves with our breath also provides us with autonomy when exploring a new sense of self after experiencing trauma.
This is a movement based series that will explore how our breath is affected in different postures and movements. We will explore how finding ease and release in certain muscles can allow the breath to flow more freely. We will explore how physical effort affects our heart rate and breath rate and how consciously paying attention to the breath helps to settle our bodies and minds. Variations will always be offered. Each class will end with rest allowing for quiet reflection.
Classes will take place virtually on Zoom or in person at The Floor (310 Atlantic Ave, Brooklyn). Participants are welcome to turn their video off if that makes them more comfortable.
