Breathwork That Heals | Tuesdays 7-8pm
A monthly breathwork class to quiet your mind, balance your nervous system, connect with others, and heal on a deeper level.
Join Wellspace SF Breathwork Facilitator Hannah Price on the first (usually) Tuesday of the month at 7pm from the comfort and privacy of your home for a virtual breathwork class and opportunity to connect with yourself and others on a profound level. Using a rhythmic three-step breath paired with the healing benefits of music, intention, and affirmation, we'll balance the nervous system, free ourselves from stress and anxiety, and release suppressed emotions, limiting beliefs, and any conscious or subconscious thought patterns that no longer serve us. Each month offers a new theme to guide you on your personal growth journey, like mindset, acceptance, manifestation, and more.
With intention and guided practice, breathwork can provide a transformative experience giving way to an awakening of your inner beauty and truth.
Cost: $20
