Learn to Breathe to Heal Yourself and Your Relationships
When: Saturday 1 July 2023 | 10:00 - 12:00
What: Lecture and breath-based workshop – All levels
Where: Open Yoga, Groningen

How does the way we breathe affect our stress level, anxiety, quality of sleep, and even our relationships? Breath penetrates, breath invigorates, and breath heals. The effect of Max’s breathing techniques is a profound sense of calm, mental clarity and a release of physical and emotional tension. One of the great things about these specific patterns is that they are accessible to everyone at any time and do not require hours of challenging breathwork to have the desired effect.
Workshop will include a lecture, simple but high impact breathing exercises, gentle breath-initiated movement, and guided meditation.
Topics included in this workshop:
- Breathing patterns to help with sleep, anxiety, and depression.
- When to breathe through the mouth and when to breathe through the nose.
- When to expand the chest and when to expand the abdomen.
Healing the hidden wounds with cathartic breathing and community

This event reveals a new understanding of the interconnectedness between anxiety, loneliness, and unhealed grief. Put simply, it could be said that when you heal one you heal all three and that is because they are all aspects of the central issue of our relationship with ourselves and others. By healing we enhance our ability to have deeper intimacy with our relationships, and the reclaiming of sustained tranquility and peace in our daily lives.
This workshop will include:
- A lecture and writing
- Simple but high impact breathing exercises
- Guided meditation.

What: movement-based workshop - All levels

Some of the negative side effects of using a computer are that we find ourselves with frozen shoulders, sore forearms, and injured wrists. This workshop targets these issues with a special
sequence of postures that opens the chest and shoulders, as well as the entire body. This induces an emotional sense of release, brings the mind into stillness, and the body into a new state of
energy. This movement workshop is both challenging and very healing.
