Somatic Breathwork Ceremony with Laura Bales

Join Laura Bales at Una Vida Meditation & Movement for an evening of somatic breathwork, embodied release, and community. Every part of you is welcome here, sweet friends! <3 Hi there! I’m really happy you’re here, and I would love for you to join me at Una Vida Meditation & Movement in Niwot for an evening of somatic breathwork and community. What is Breathwork? Breathwork is an active breathing practice that uses continuous, intentional breaths and body awareness to help your body access, process, and release stored stress and trauma, while opening space for emotion, awareness, and deeper connection with yourself. When difficult experiences are not fully processed, the body can continue holding them as tension, emotional charge, numbness, or patterns of feeling stuck. This style of breathing gives the body a way to move and discharge what it has been carrying in a safe, supported space. Facilitating this work is one of the greatest honors of my life, truly! This work is deeply personal to me, and I love sharing the magic with others. My intention is to create a space where you feel safe enough to be fully, authentically, and genuinely yourself, and I truly mean that. In a world that often asks us to perform, keep up, and hold it all together, this is a place to simply exist and feel and breathe and move. You are welcome to arrive exactly as you are. What is Una Vida? Una Vida is a beautiful, spacious sanctuary in Niwot devoted to consciousness, connectedness, and kindness. The studio feels peaceful, warm, and grounding, with plenty of room to breathe, move, rest, and be supported in community. Mats, blankets, bolsters, cushions, and other supportive props are available, so you can settle in and make yourself comfortable throughout the experience. I am really excited to bring this work into a space that feels so intentional, welcoming, and aligned with what I want these evenings to be. What to Bring Una Vida provides yoga mats, blankets, bolsters, meditation cushions, and other supportive props for your comfort. Please bring: • Water • Comfortable clothes you can breathe and move in • A journal and pen, if you would like to reflect afterward • An eye mask, if you have one and enjoy using it • Earplugs if you are sensitive to sound or would like the option for extra quiet • Any personal item that helps you feel grounded, such as a sweater, cozy socks, or a meaningful object • An open heart and a willingness to meet yourself exactly where you are <3 You are also welcome to bring your own mat, blanket, or pillow if you prefer using your own things. Questions? If you have any questions, please reach out through Eventbrite or email me at [email protected]. I am genuinely so happy to answer any and all questions and help you feel as comfortable, informed, and supported as possible before joining. <3 About Me I’m a Certified Trauma-Informed Coach, Somatic Breathwork Facilitator, and master’s candidate in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a focus in Somatic Body Psychotherapy. My work is rooted in both professional training and lived experience. My approach is warm, compassionate, real, and deeply nonjudgmental. My intention is to create a space where you feel safe enough to show up exactly as you are, because every part of you is welcome here. You can learn more about me and my work at www.laurabales.com. A Note Before You Join Breathwork can be powerful and at times intense. Strong emotions, sound, movement, or vocal expression such as crying or screaming can naturally arise as the body releases stored tension and processes experience. This is a normal and welcomed part of the work, and the space is held with care so that all expressions are met with respect. If you are pregnant or have a history of heart conditions, cardiovascular issues, seizures, severe asthma, recent surgery, or any other significant medical or psychiatric concerns, please consult with your doctor or mental health provider before participating. You are always in choice. Everything offered is an invitation. Please listen to your body and move at your own pace. I am deeply honored to hold this space. If finances are a concern, please reach out. I want this work to be accessible to you! <3
