Group Breathwork with Shay

Join Shay for group breathwork | An invitation for rest, exploration, and connection Group Breathwork with Shay Join the Shay with for an in-person group breathwork journey created to bring us together to be, breathe, and commune with one another. What is Breathwork? Breathwork is a practice that invites us to consciously connect to ourselves, our inner knowing, and the world around us through all through the intentional use of our breath. This simple yet profound practice can help bring us out of our minds and back into our bodies, offering reprive from stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm while creating space for deeper insight, connection, and integration. Breathwork can be used in small moments throughout the day, but in this group breathwork journey we will practice for a longer period of time using both active and passive breathing phases. This style of conscious connected breathwork can support emotional release, imaginative and meditative states, spiritual connection, and a deeper relationship with yourself and a future we want to be a part of. The breathwork practice we’ll be doing is approximately 30-40 minutes of active breathing, and 15-20 minutes of passive integration. Why Breathwork? One of the beautiful things about this practice is that it allows us to physically process and integrate emotional experiences without needing to verbally recount or mentally replay them in detail. Breathwork creates physiological shifts that can bring us into different states of awareness, helping us connect more deeply to what is present in the body within a safer, intentionally held container. Another important aspect of this practice is that it centres agency, choice, and autonomy. There is no external substance, tool, or person creating the experience for you — the breath itself becomes the guide. Participants are always invited to move at their own pace, pause when needed, and stay connected to what feels supportive and grounding for them. Finally, breathwork is a tool that is always available to us. We always have our breath. While everyone’s relationship to breath, rest, and safety is shaped by different lived experiences and systems of access and oppression, the breath can still be a gentle point of connection that we carry with us in every moment.
