The quality of your breath reflects
the current state of your body
-
It allows you to dive into a state of non-ordinary consciousness. It is a combination of the ancient practice pranayama and today’s neuroscience. The different breathing exercises alter the brain's and body's chemistry leading to a deep state of meditation. It allows you to e.g. strengthen your immune system, remove mental and physical blockages, reveal forgotten memories, and access creative abundance for mental clarity.

Belonging to the 4th limb of yoga, the ancient practice of conscious breathing aims to regulate and expand our life force (prana). As taught in the Hatha Yoga Pradiprika, the breathing practices (pranayama kriya) that I teach are focused on cleansing, revitalising and energising the body, mind and soul.
-
The workshops are suitable for all levels of practitioners. It is preferable to join the session on an empty stomach, therefore I would advise to not eat 2-3 hours before. A tiny snack or drinking water is not going to ruin the experience if you need it. Make sure to wear clothes that allow you to fully breathe and sit comfortably.

The practice of breathwork is not recommended for the following conditions: pregnancy, epilepsy, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, high inner eye pressure, clinical anxiety or panic attacks, psychosis, a history of stroke, recent surgery (wounds, broken bones still healing).
The practice of pranayama can be adapted according to the practitioners conditions.
PSYCHEDELIC BREATH®

vea yoga studio
(Naunynstr. 38, 10999 Berlin)
Embark on an immersive 2-hour workshop where you will be guided through a series of breathing techniques inspired by Pranayama and contemporary breathwork schools. These techniques will guide you into non-ordinary states of consciousness, infusing each breath cycle with intention and aligning with the energetic centres of the body.
As you journey through the breath, you will also explore the realms of your senses. We incorporate selected essential oils into our practice to unlock emotions and memories, allowing for deep release and transformation. Throughout the workshop, you will be invited to deep dive into your mind through this sensory experience. The profound effects of breathwork in this unique setting may manifest through visuals and sensations, guiding you into a dreamless state.
Whether you are new or an experienced practitioner, this workshop welcomes you to come as you are. Each session is a unique opportunity for self-discovery and growth, as you harness the power of breath and senses to unlock new dimensions of your being.
