HEAL AND RESTORE / EXPERIENTIAL WORKSHOP

Vagus Nerve Masterclass with Yoga

HEAL AND RESTORE /
LECTURE + PRACTICE

Breathing 101

SATURDAY 16.9. KL 10-11.30

What is functional breathing? Why does breathing matter? Breathing happens automatically, but at the same time it carries enormous potential for healing, regulating the nervous system, sleeping better, digesting food more easily, focusing better, learning to know oneself and transforming one's experience of life on all levels: physiological, cognitive, emotional and spiritual.

In this lecture + practice session you learn about how breathing is one of the most important bodily functions and plays a central role in your health & well-being!

HEAL AND RESTORE /
LECTURE + PRACTICE

Breathing & Stress

SATURDAY 16.9. KL 12-13.30

Learn to regulate stress with the power of your breath!

We often hear about the negative effects of stress, but is stress all negative? What is the difference between stress-management, stress-regulation and stress-implementation? The first step towards more control is awareness. With breath awareness you can develop the skill to regulate stress in your life, almost like a superpower. We will talk about how you can become the pilot instead of the passenger in your own life when faced with challenges. We will talk about why you DON’T always want to breathe stress away.

GROW AND CONNECT / EXPERIENTIAL WORKSHOP

Breathing and Stress Resilience - Transform Stress to Resilience with Breath & Cold Exposure

SATURDAY 16.9. KL 14.30-18.00

Ready for cold water season? Learn about cold water exposure and how breath can be your pathway to growing and connecting!

Strong physiological resilience means strong stress tolerance, skillful regulation of the nervous system state, fast recovery from stress, and healthy immune functions (among others). These all can be affected with and through breathing.

In this experiential workshop you will dive deep into breathing as a tool for increasing resources. You will hear about the Buteyko method practices for promoting health and performance capacity, and you will get a taste of controlled hyperventilation (deeper and faster breathing) as a tool for building stress tolerance and nervous system capacity. At the end, we take a walk to the fjord and take a cold bath (optional)!

GROW AND CONNECT /
LECTURE + PRACTICE

Breath as Athletic Superpower

SUNDAY 17.9. KL 10-11.30

For athletes and anyone interested in boosting performance, improving breathing efficiency and gaining better training results.

In this lecture + practice session you will hear how breathing training alongside other training can take your results to a new level. We will be exploring breathing on a mechanical level with its influences on core activation and force production, how breathing affects stress levels through chemistry and nervous system, and how breath awareness & exercises can increase mental clarity in any situation.

GROW AND CONNECT /
EXPERIENTIAL WORKSHOP

Breathe and Align - a dialog on posture

SUNDAY 17.9. KL 12.00-13.30

Welcome to a dynamic dialog on posture.

We will be exploring our bodies in relation to gravity, both from a bio-mechanical perspective but also psycho-somatic. You are invited to open your mind and your senses to explore posture in a non-judgemental way. There will be focus on aligning, decompressing and opening up our tissues in an active manner. The workshop also includes theoretical conversations around pain, stiffness, stretching, strength training, breathing and how posture is connected to our mind (and vice versa).

GROW AND CONNECT /
LECTURE + PRACTICE

Breathe to Connect

SUNDAY 17.9. KL 14.30-16.00

How does breath help you to connect with yourself on a deeper level? How is breath crucial in connecting with others?

This is a workshop about connection  - how we are in connection with ourselves and the rest of the world and what kind of role breath plays in it. How - by using the breath consciously - can you create more meaningful and deep communication and interaction? In the practice part, before breathwork, we do some connection exercises, learning about ourselves, breath and nervous system in relation to other people. Let's breathe together to heal together!

GROW AND CONNECT /
EXPERIENTIAL WORKSHOP

Breathwork and Connection Circle

SUNDAY 17.9. KL 16.00-18.00

Breathwork for connection! In this breathwork ceremony you move and breathe for the purpose of connecting to yourself on a deeper level, releasing any extra package you might be carrying along and awakening your body so that every breath can flow freely.

Breathwork practiced in this session is powerful yet gentle, so arrive open-minded. The workshop ends with a connection circle. We recommend reading through contraindications for breathwork
