Breathwork skills for safe trauma practice with your clients (via Zoom)

THIS WORKSHOP WILL BE RECORDED IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND.

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! The breath is the only part of the autonomic nervous system that we have conscious control over yet many of us and our clients only use a fragment of our lung capacity. The patterns of trauma fix rigidly into the body impacting on the breath which in turn increases the potential for physical and mental ill health. These patterns will determine how closed or open a person is to themselves, others and life. Practicing conscious breathing is a safe way to interrupt these patterns held deep within the body offering a new, more resourceful experience for body and mind.

In this workshop you'll learn:-

• the basics of polyvagal theory and it's links to trauma
• Principles for safe trauma work with the breath
• Structuring a breathing practice session with your client
• How to keep your client safe when using breathwork
• And when NOT to use breathwork with your trauma clients.
• breathing techniques for self-regulation and mobilising the nervous system.

I love sharing breathwork and can't wait to get started. This workshop is jam packed full of information and practices that you'll be able to start using in your groups and 1-2-1's immediately.

You'll be sent a zoom link 2 days before the event with further resources emailed on the day!
