Primal Breathwork: Unlocking Inner Strength

Aberdeen Pavilion
60 minutes

This session is designed to help participants tap into their innate power through breath. Using a combination of functional breathwork, rhythmic breathing, and conscious connected breathing, we guide participants on a journey inward. The session builds from gentle breath awareness to deep activation, allowing for emotional release, clarity, and a profound sense of connection.
