PRESENTED BY SÉBASTIEN ZAPPA

SESSION OF 4 WORKSHOPS

BREATH & RESPIRATION

Breathing is a vital function that accompanies every moment of our lives, a seemingly simple process that in reality conceals a profound complexity.

Breath, the uninterrupted flow of air through our lungs, is much more than a biological necessity; it is the fundamental link between our body and our environment.

Beyond its essential role in survival, breathing is at the heart of many traditional and modern practices aimed at improving our physical, mental and spiritual well-being.

In this series of 4 workshops, we’ll explore the profound meaning of breath and breathing, and their influence on our physical health, emotional balance and quest for consciousness. We’ll delve into the very essence of this vital process to grasp its many facets and its importance in our lives.

WORKSHOP 1
BALANCING THE BREATH

Saturday, January 27, 2 to 4 p.m.

Breathing is a process we carry out essentially unconsciously, some 25,000 times a day. This biological function enables us to do nothing less than live, by supplying each of our cells with one of the fuels needed to produce energy: oxygen. But we rarely pay attention to it. Breathing is a movement that involves engaging specific muscles in a specific sequence. As with any movement, we can benefit from becoming aware of the muscles involved, learning how to mobilize them, stretch them and make them work in harmony. This work is also the gateway to modulation of the nervous system. This opens up a whole range of possibilities for working on relaxation, stress management and sleep quality. This workshop is accessible to all fitness levels. Pregnancy, however, is contraindicated.

WORKSHOP 2
DIAPHRAGM ET RESILIENCE

Saturday, February 17, 2-4 p.m.

To breathe, we mobilize specific muscles, to which fitness programs generally pay little attention. As the interface between thorax and abdomen, the diaphragm is the main muscle for inspiration. A strong diaphragm will make us more resilient, enabling us to breathe more efficiently. But beyond breathing, the diaphragm is associated with other aspects of our biology, notably our posture. Mobilizing and strengthening your diaphragm therefore also means stabilizing your posture. In short, it’s in everyone’s interest to learn how to mobilize, stretch and strengthen our diaphragm, not only to improve our breathing but also our posture, balance and movement. This workshop is accessible to all fitness levels. Pregnancy, however, is contraindicated.

WORKSHOP 3
BREATHE & MOVE

Saturday, March 30, 2-4 p.m.

In this workshop, we’ll explore the connection between breath and movement. More often than we think, we hold our breath when we move. Unconsciously, we choose between breathing and moving. This workshop is designed to help us become aware of this situation and do something about it: move without compromising our breathing, with all that this implies for our metabolism and nervous system. Through simple, elementary movements, we’ll see how breathing can not only accompany movement, but also trigger it and make it more harmonious. Beyond the focus on movement, this work is very relaxing for the back and the mind. This workshop is accessible to all fitness levels. Pregnancy, however, is contraindicated.

WORKSHOP 4
BREATH CONTROL

Saturday, April 27, 2-4 p.m.

The fourth workshop in the series will be dedicated to working on breath retentions of varying lengths. By working on these retentions and learning to observe the sensations they provoke in the body and mind, it becomes increasingly easy to relax, both physically and mentally. This breathing training also helps you to work on the sensation of breathlessness and delay it. Delaying shortness of breath is key to maintaining physical exercise for longer, whatever its intensity. So, by delaying the sensation of breathlessness, you benefit all the more from physical exercise. This workshop will alternate fairly intense exercise, but accessible to anyone in good health, with very deep relaxation sequences.
This workshop is accessible to all fitness levels. Pregnancy and high blood pressure are contraindicated.
