What is Elemental Breathwork?

Our breath is the gateway to the infinite potential that lies within us. It is a clear window into how we are showing up moment to moment as well as a tool to change the state, perception, thoughts, actions and reality we are currently experiencing. 

Our breath is the bridge between the body, mind and soul. It is happening from the moment we are born to the moment we transition out of this body. This training will open up the potential that lies within you and by the end you will have unlocked a new gear (or few) that you did not know was possible.

Elemental Breathwork is an informative, yet practical, system designed to integrate various aspects of the breath, the elements and our psyche to create a cohesive balanced self. We achieve this through an understanding of the connection between nervous system and breath, the different elements, how they connect and show up within us all, our unique anatomical makeup as it relates to our breathing function and how we can consciously direct our breath to shift our experience in real time. Elemental Breathwork consists of 4 modalities related to the elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Air). Each modality is driven by a different intention and in turn provides a different feeling. 

It is a great tool for those who experience anxiety, depression, difficulty focusing, low energy, poor sleep, indigestion and all other ailments which are a byproduct of misaligned or unbalanced elements. 

The Elemental Breathwork system provides a framework for you to use in your daily life, classes, with your partner, children, loved ones, coworkers and infinite other possibilities. It is a way to step out from our old patterns and ways of being to create the life we have been dying to live.

What is Dreamwork?

Dreams are the gateway to the unconscious mind. They are a glimpse of our inner universe, which is filled with symbols, stories and characters  that play out like a circus theatre in a poetic way. In shamanic traditions, they hold the key to the "other" realm, the one not governed by physical laws, but by spirit. There, we can access untapped information hidden on uncharted territories, as well as work with the deepest and most rooted beliefs like fears.

It is said that during the waking state, the “I” is in control and limits the perception of who we are and how we are different from our surroundings. During the dreamstate, the “I” is diffuse and can split up into different objects or people. 

FOUR ELEMENTS - FOUR PATHS

WATER - In the flowing rivers of our imagination and attention, Yoga Nidra directs us to the dream world while being still awake.

FIRE - Shape-shifting the material reality through the Toltec Nahual Animal and Mask work through transmutation of personal history.

EARTH - Using lucid dreaming and Tibetan Yoga of Dreams techniques to question and merge physical and dream realities and then change both bringing consciousness to the unconscious. 

AIR - Using the intellectual and verbal approach of psychology, we develop interpretation skills focusing on symbols and plots.
