Breathwork Class with Krista Helman

7:00pm-8:30pm

$25 per class

Most of us breathe on autopilot. Research shows that intentional breathing can support nervous system regulation, improve heart-rate variability, and reduce symptoms of stress and anxiety over time.

This 90-minute class brings you on a breathwork journey: simple, guided breathing patterns that help calm the nervous system, soften stress, and create space for emotional release.

You’ll be invited to:

• Get comfortable lying down or sitting (bring a yoga mat, eye-mask, blanket, pillow)

• Learn rhythmic breathing techniques

• Notice sensations in your body and allow tension, emotions, or thoughts to move through

• Have time at the end to rest, integrate, and (if you wish) share a brief reflection

Please note:

This is a wellness offering, not psychotherapy or medical treatment. If you are pregnant, have vertigo, sound sensitivity, or a heart, lung, or neurological condition, please check with your health-care provider before attending.
