What we’re about
‘’If I had to limit my advice on healthier living to just one tip, it would be simply to learn how to breathe correctly. From my own experience and from working with patients, I have come to believe that proper breathing is the master key to good health.’’ - Andrew Weil, M.D., author of Natural Health, Natural Medicine
This group is created to support breathing ( and eating) practice that helps us to breathe (and Eat) properly and deepen the nurturing and healing aspect of breathing. Breath is life and if our breathing habit is bad it impedes our life force and capacity to live fully. Many people’s breath is unnaturally shallow. The more we are aware of the breath, the more its natural depth will reestablish itself. Creating more space with the breath allowing us to deepen our awareness more in a vertical direction helps us to touch space where we know the source of our wellness. it's a powerful tool to live in the present moment and cultivate I-AM- awareness.
The aim of this Circle is to co-create a support system to re-learn correct breathing and nurture our body, mind, and heart.
The group is Organized and facilitated by Briksha Mahendra.
When we nurture ourselves with correct breathing we will:
• Oxygenate your body and bring more life force in, increasing blood circulation over time with ongoing practice • Release toxins and blockage to create space for healing to happen
• Be more grounded and empowered
• Feel more relaxed and peaceful
• Feel more present, open, and mentally clear
• Feel more connected with oneself and others
• Feel more energetic and awake.
• Have the capacity to stay with your emotions and feel your body as it unfolds to you
• Develop skill to center yourself quickly and be in the moment
Conscious Living is a practice or a way that holds space to nurture and enhance the wellness of oneself, Others, and the World!
Our invitation to you is to consider ` Eating and Breathing matters` therefore it is a sacred act like anything else in life. Using the age-old wisdom of yoga with a modern new paradigm of nutrition, ( as brought by some pioneers like Dr. Gabriel Cousens, Dr David Jubb, Joel Fuhrman, , etc) this space will be an attempt to provide a guideline to use eating (and Breathing) that enhance our Nurturing (or Healing ) and wellness process.
Our Mission: is to provide support for eating and breathing consciously and wisely that enhances well-being and awakening.
We provide a way and space to practice sacred eating or conscious eating which not only nurture our body, but our heart and mind and spirit and society and globe. Through educational classes, workshops, training, regular dinner, Catering- lunch/dinner boxes, and consultation we provide an opportunity for the individual to nurture themselves and enhance their awakening process from Prana Food and conscious eating.

# Breathwork and Deep Relaxation: Creating Health, Vitality, and Longevity
Suggested Donation: $20-$25
In this class, along with various breathing practices and movements, we will cultivate awareness and slow down to enter the subtler aspects of our bodies.
Breathing this way will open our body and breath to reduce stress, integrate trauma, and cultivate more space and energy. Energy thus created moves freely in the open space without any blockage, which helps to strengthen our lungs and inner system, making us more vital, fit, and healthy. Healthy, functional breathing exercises help to strengthen our lungs, open our system to cultivate more energy, and move it freely.
