**Breathwork & Cacao : être soi.** **S'affranchir de la préoccupation du regard du monde.** **Dimanche 12 avril** **Studio Yoga Searcher — 64 rue des Tournelles, Paris 3e** **19h00 - 21h00** **Nombre de places limité.** **Inscriptions :** **[https://www.billetweb.fr/breathwork-et-cacao-etre-soi...](https://www.billetweb.fr/breathwork-et-cacao-etre-soi-saffranchir-de-la-preoccupation-du-regard-du-monde?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHtoydEtmkC_7z3Yhg4nme3c4tGRGMkmKyxd3r1QFmhZM8zojx3nFUGYwMqf0_aem_ROaHTynpoAI15ATQxBEKgg)** \*\*\* S’affranchir du regard du monde ne signifie pas devenir autocentré. C’est même tout l’inverse. La générosité naît lorsque nous sommes moins guidés par la préoccupation de l’image que le monde nous renvoie — un grand défi de notre époque. Cet affranchissement n’est pas le résultat d’un acte de volonté, ni, à mon sens, d’une simple reprogrammation des croyances. Cela reste souvent en surface… et peut devenir une nouvelle posture, un nouveau personnage. Il s’opère en profondeur — car c'est de là qui emerge notre unicité. D'un espace de liberté au fond de nous, inaltérablement présente S’offrir au monde, de la façon unique qui est la nôtre. Ce n’est pas un métier, ni un rôle spécifique. C’est un choix qui se rejoue à chaque instant : dans chaque rencontre, chaque échange, chaque regard. Entre le rôle appris… et ce qu’il y a de plus vrai en nous. Entre les stratégies pour être aimé… et l’élan sincère du don de soi. On va à descendre un peu plus profond dimanche prochain.. Sans même nous en apercevoir, nous sommes souvent guidées par des automatismes de défense, des réflexes anciens qui ne nous appartiennent plus vraiment. Le breathwork est une pratique qui permet au corps de relâcher ces mémoires, au système nerveux de retrouver de la sécurité, et à ce qui était retenu, de recommencer à circuler. Le système nerveux ne fait pas la différence entre un danger réel… et une blessure ancienne qui se réactive. Une situation ordinaire qui active une ancienne mémoire, et sans s'en apercevoir le corps bascule en mode survie : fuite, lutte, figement. Cela arrive à chacun de nous. Non pas parce que quelque chose ne va pas — mais parce que notre système a appris à nous protéger ainsi. \*\*\* Respirer peut devenir un chemin de retour. Le breathwork parle directement au corps, en respirant consciemment, nous envoyons un message de sécurité au système nerveux. Peu à peu : • les réactions automatiques s’apaisent • le corps relâche ce qu’il retenait • un espace de présence s’ouvre • davantage de choix devient possible Respirer devient alors un passage — de la survie… vers la vie. \*\*\* Ce que cet espace permet : • reconnaître lorsque le mode survie s’active • apaiser les réponses nerveuses liées aux blessures • relâcher les tensions inscrites dans le corps • retrouver un état de régulation profond \*\*\* La pratique La respiration connectée est un processus de transformation qui agit à la fois sur le souffle, le corps et la conscience. Le rythme est fluide et continu, ouvrant un état de présence où tensions, émotions et mémoires peuvent se libérer naturellement. Le cacao cérémoniel — facultatif — accompagne ce mouvement avec douceur et soutient l’intégration. La musique, le tambour et un toucher discret viennent soutenir ce qui cherche à se remettre en circulation. \*\*\* Comme l’écrit Stanislav Grof : "Ce processus, apparemment simple, possède un potentiel extraordinaire pour explorer tout le spectre du monde intérieur." \*\*\* Cet atelier s’adresse à celles et ceux qui ressentent l’élan de : • apaiser le stress et le mental • retrouver de l’espace intérieur • alléger ce qui entrave l’énergie vitale • se sentir plus vivants Aucune expérience préalable n’est nécessaire. Chaque session est guidée avec présence et sécurité. \*\*\* Participation : • Tarif standard : 50 € • Tarif solidaire : 35 € (RSA, chômage, contactez moi directement pour appliquer la réduction ). \*\*\* Infos : [ilariainscriptions@gmail.com](mailto:ilariainscriptions@gmail.com) Avec amour, Ilaria Rubei [www.ilariarubei.com](http://www.ilariarubei.com/)

**SIGN UP : [yogaclubparis.fr/booking](http://yogaclubparis.fr/booking)** Aiming to tap your own Prana/Vital force/ life energy to heal yourself and enhance the immunity, this is the class for you!! This class will introduce you to different Pranayama (breathing exercise) and Meditation Techniques and will involve a practice of all these techniques coupled with gentle asana/posture practice. Prana is the vital energy needed by physical and subtle layers on our body. It is the Prana or life force in us that nourishes the mind and keeps the body alive. Pranayama means working in the dimension of Prana and is an integral part of a developing yoga practice. In addition to supporting and deepening your Yoga asana practice, learning ways to calm or invigorate the body through breathing will greatly benefit all aspects of your life. Prior practice of Yoga asana/posture is recommended. Meet us at Dally Daoud Speedwell - Dance School in 24 Rue Juge, 75015 Paris. Contact Anu with any questions : +33618285547

A dispo sur place: tapis, blocs, sangles, bolsters, couvertures See you there, Claire ♥ ★ Le yoga Vinyasa c'est quoi? Vinyasa est un terme Sanskrit qui signifie synchronisation du mouvement sur la respiration. Il est composé de deux racines : « nyasa » qui signifie « placer » et « vi » qui signifie « d'une manière spécifique ». On définit donc le yoga Vinyasa comme un enchaînement de mouvements dynamiques, initié et harmonisé par la respiration. Le yoga vinyasa est issu du yoga Ashtanga, qui lui consiste à exécuter une série de postures dans un ordre bien précis. À la différence de l'Ashtanga, le yoga Vinyasa est plus libre et créatif : il n'impose aucune série de mesures. Les enchaînements sont le fruit de l'expérience acquise par l'enseignant et sont adaptables aux besoins de chacun. **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** **INFOS PRATIQUES** **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** ★ ADRESSE : 17 rue de La Fontaine Au Roi 75011 Paris // Métro République (5 minutes), Parmentier (5 min) ou Goncourt (5 minutes) ★ Ouverture des portes 11h40 ***(! ne pas entrer avant il y a un cours)*** \- Début du cours 11h45 \- Merci d'arriver à l'heure\. ★ Tarifs: Cours d’essai: 17,50 euros // Cours à l’unité: 20 euros // Carte 4 cours : 74 euros (valable 2 mois) // Carte 10 cours : 175 euros (valable 4 mois) // Carte 20 cours : 330 euros (valable 6 mois) ★ Réservations et annulations: Pour faciliter l'organisation et pour laisser la place aux élèves en liste d'attente, l'annulation d'un cours doit se faire au plus tôt et au moins 24h00 à l'avance, dans le cas contraire, le cours sera considéré comme dû et non remboursable.
