Description

Join Michelle for a deeply restorative breathing experience outdoors in the lush surroundings of a garden oasis. Is your default mode of breathing holding you back from feeling your best physical and mental health? Experience a group practice of therapeutic breathwork with Michelle and friends. In this workshop, you will gain tools to feed your body what it needs most. When we fill our cups with what is truly essential to us, we feel our best, and we can offer our best selves to our relationshiops, work, and communities. In this two-hour outdoor workshop, we will nourish our biology through simple and deep ways of breathing. We'll gain a growing understanding of how our breath can support us each to feel more secure, present, rested, alert, and energized physically and mentally. The movement of breath fuels all the systems in our bodies (immune, circulatory, digestive, nervous systems). Participants will gain clarity around their default mode of breathing, and an understanding of what makes a healthy breath, with tips to try at home. In Seattle's lush Dunn Gardens, we will experience a breathing practice amidst our friends in a vibrant plant world, in an exchange of respiration. Bring an open mind. All questions and respectful sharing are welcome. When we honor ourselves and each other, we learn together through shared experience. The practice will be guided by Michelle Quigley Pearson, a seasoned breathwork facilitator, practitioner, and licensed massage therapist. Michelle works with people 1:1 every week and is excited to offer a group workshop with customized tips to meet each person where they're at. All are welcome.
