Find Your Breath Again Workshops with Sarah Hutcherson
In the Seminar Room

These are intense and unsettling times. If you've felt like your breath has been shallow lately or missing, these 20 minutes are for you. Each session centers relaxation through gentle breathing, breath awareness, and rolling with a massage ball that hugs you back. We will focus on gentle breathing practices combined with seated ball work targeting the pericardium, shoulders, and upper back, perfect for restoring and connecting with your heart center. Everything is done seated in a chair, and you'll leave with practices you can use anytime.
