Breathwork and Tension

Using the breathing practices from the eastern art of Systema, we will get to that deep relaxation. This isn't the typical meditation you are used to, this is highly involved. You will be learning to breath whilst using tension in selected body parts. By intentionally and selectively tensing, we can do two things. Firstly, we can understand how to scan our bodies for tension, to know when we are relaxed or not. And, secondly, we can oxygenate and nourish ourselves. There are many variations of this practise, such as creating waves of tension inside of us. The foot tenses, then the calf and then the thigh etc and it moves up to the head. This technique, as well as others we can do, will teach us how to heal ourselves and build that deep mind-body connection.
