We all have it, and wouldn’t be alive without it. However, how consciously are we doing it? Our breath is everything, and is often an untapped source of growth. Come experience oxygen as you never have before!
Studies show that breathwork contains many benefits:
– Increased self-love and inner joy
– Reduced stress, anxiety, grief, depression and anger
– Improved sleep
– Improved mental clarity
– Release of trauma
– Release toxins from the body
– Increase oxygen efficiency
– Awaken stem cells and increase red blood cells
– Increased happiness and joy
– Boost immunity
– Greater spiritual connection
– Increased mental clarity
– Supports addiction recovery
Through our breath, we can access parts of our body, soul, mind and heart that we don’t access in the normal day-to-day. Let go of trauma, release grief, fear and much much more. This style of breathwork allows the “monkey mind” to shut down and allows you to tap into subconscious rewiring and renewal.
In this workshop, we will go on an immersive journey inward through our breath. We will be incorporating many different styles of breathing with different musical styles, which will be sure to provide a profound experience! Be prepared to experience transformation!
What to bring:
* Yoga mat
* Water bottle
* Journal (if you want)
* Any special blanket or pillow you enjoy – I want you to be totally comfortable! (I personally like to bring a pillow)
Please arrive 15 minutes early to get setup. We will promptly begin at 6:00 pm.
Please note: *If you are pregnant, or prone to seizures, this class is not recommended*

Grief Yoga ®
for Families, Individuals, and Kids
with Dr. Juanita Chapman, MFT, LCADC, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, RYT 500
1:00 – 2:30 pm
June 22, July 27, August 17
The Yoga Center Reno
Workshop Cost: Donation-based
Please pre-register: email juanitasyoga@outlook.com
Payment options: Venmo or cash
Please note: Participants should bring a journal and something with which to write. Participants are also invited to bring their own water (in a container with a closed top to avoid spills.)
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
Grief yoga combines many different forms of yoga, breath techniques and movements to help students process grief, trauma, losses, and other stuck emotions to use them as fuel for transformative healing. This process is not about physical flexibility, it embodies emotional liberation. Classes begin with students becoming aware of the present moment and where they hold struggle and pain in their bodies and minds. We then create a safe place to express and release their struggles through movement, breath, and sound. Next we incorporate flowing moving mediations to open the heart, perhaps some laughter exercises to tap into joy and dancing movements that connect to the soul. In the final part of class, students will be moved to surrender and let go of the pain to reconnect to love and the gift of life.
ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:
Dr. Juanita Chapman – licensed MFT and LCADC, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, RYT 500
One of the main reasons I became a therapist was it provided me the freedom to talk openly about emotions, and death, somethings which were taboo in my family. In my years of practice, I have discovered that this lack of emotional validation resonates with a huge portion of my clients. When I began practicing yoga, I stumbled into the added benefit of the practice releasing emotions. I wondered if there might be some way to bring yoga and those who don’t normally practice yoga but struggle with grief and other difficult emotions, together. Then, I found Grief Yoga ®. It was so impactful that I decided to become a teacher. A Grief Yoga ® class is a safe place to release those stuck old emotional wounds and process grief in a healthy and fun way. I hope you will join me to experience this for yourself. Learn more: www.healyourspirityoga.com
