Introduction to Breathwork, in the tradition of Prāṇāyāma- a 4 weekends course

Have you heard about "breathwork" before and didn't quite know what it was or how to do it? What if you could quiet your mind and stop overthinking - simply by following a specific way of breathing for a few minutes? Or feel energized and ready to tackle any challenges?

Even process lingering emotions, thoughts, or bodily tension? Let go of anxiety, stress, or feeling low? Less anxious, worried, and fearful - more joyful, energized, and content? All while strengthening the mind-body connection?

Each class will cover one of the topics mentioned above. So don't worry, we will have 2-3 techniques introduced per class - and plenty of time to practice and get familiar with them.

I invite you to experience how breathwork gives an embodied experience of meditation. Deepen your practice of yoga. Or simply come to ease your mind, heart, and body. To learn how to go from overthinking, anxiety, and worry to feeling calm, confident, and energized.

Unlike many other breathwork courses, we start slow and steady—with no intense or forced breathing styles. And we won’t explore higher-paced techniques until you feel comfortable and ready.

The course is designed with a complete beginner in mind. From an anxious teenager, to a stressed adult, to a retired older person. You are free to come if you would like to experience for yourself any of the benefits listed above. Or if you're just curious. No need for experience with breathwork, meditation, or yoga.

English: The course will be delivered in English. Occasional Dutch explanations may be given upon asking, with the help of other participants. The words and the practice are simple enough to be followed by anyone with a minimal understanding of English.

This course is free. Donations are welcome to support the rental of the space (cash or phone, in person).

Logistics:
We have a 48-hour cancellation policy. That is, I ask you to remove your attendance (RSVP) within at least 48 hours, except for emergencies.

This course is a drop-in series, so you may join one or all 4 weekends. However, practicing on consecutive days is strongly recommended, especially in the beginning. This helps you become familiar with the practice more quickly, enhances the felt benefits, and corrects any bad habits early on.

I also ask that you come on time, at most 15 minutes before we begin. Please message me on whatsapp if you are late - so someone can open the door for you.

Tea will be provided.

Considerations: Wear comfortable clothes. Try not to eat about 30 minutes before we start - unless you are hungry and really have to. And don't worry about being tired in the morning - this practice will wake you up.

I look forward to practicing together with you.
