The Brown Girls Social Introduction to Somatic Breathwork

Join us for a transformative group breathwork session led by Dr. Robin, who holds credentials as a Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES®), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), and Doctor of Health Sciences (DHSc).

Somatic Breathwork is a powerful practice for personal growth that reconnects the mind to the body's innate wisdom. This trauma-informed practice is rooted in neuroscience and uses coaching techniques to help identify emotions and physical tension lying dormant in the body. Somatic Breathwork differs from other breathing techniques because it allows participants to express stuck energy in connection and community with an empathetic witness. This practice does not require telling your story. Instead, it is a closed-eye, inward practice that encourages the movement of dormant emotions through and out of the body.
