When you need a boost, you can use your breath to recharge the body, clear the mind, and activate the energy within. In this session, scientist and wellness teacher Dr Rebecca Chabot will lead participants through several dynamic breathing exercises. The exercises will build to holotropic breathing, to boost the energy flow in the body and brain, leading to increased alertness and clarity. Activation breathing techniques are thought to facilitate mental and physical healing, improve self-awareness, and increase one’s positive outlook on life. Immediately following the one-hour workshop, participants will have exclusive access to the wood-fired Finnish saunas and salt water cold plunge pools.
PLEASE NOTE: Activation breathing is not recommended for those with high anxiety or a history of panic attacks. If you have pre-existing medical conditions, please seek medical approval before booking. Additionally, cold water immersion is not recommended for people with heart or circulatory conditions. If you have any concerns about exposure to cold water or saunas based on your individual conditions or medications, always check with your doctor first.
Access notes: The breathing workshop is wheelchair accessible, but the sauna and plunge is not. Additionally, the workshop is suitable for blind and low-vision people, but we suggest you bring a companion for the saunas and plunge pools. Please contact us if you are interested in booking this workshop and have accessibility questions.
