Elemnetal Rhythm Flow Breathwork

This guided breathwork class led by Danette weaves rhythmic breathing, meditation, and intentional pauses for integration. Centered on yin breath techniques, the practice aims to release stored tension, awaken life force energy, and support balance in the nervous system. As the breath deepens, the body can soften, the mind can clear, and room can open for insight and transformation. The experience invites a shift beyond old patterns and a reconnection with the version of yourself that is ready to emerge. Each session concludes with dedicated time to integrate so the body and nervous system can settle into the changes created through breath. Welcoming to both beginners and experienced practitioners. The community rate is $20, and class size is limited to maintain an intimate setting.
