Open to anyone interested in the transformational nature of breath and sound.  Massage Therapists receive 21 CE hours.

About the training and retreat:  Coupled with hands-on work, breathwork is one of the most effective ways to release tension and stress, reboot the nervous system and feel at home in the body. It’s one of the kindest and most necessary things we can do for ourselves and share with others.

The breath is the most accurate and instantaneous mirror for how we feel, think and live. It provides the opportunity to look at whether what we take in is nourishing and life giving or toxic and depleting. By consciously connecting with the breath through a safe and gentle process, we are updating feelings, thoughts and physical sensations to live with more happiness, ease and pleasure in life. Think of it as a re-boot to your body, mind and spirit when the system is sluggish or not functioning optimally.

Many people suffer from chronic ineffective breathing habits, contributing to unhealthy effects in the body and eventually leading to chronic health issues. Trauma, loss and stress can create a constriction around the diaphragm limiting how someone breaths as a result of the nervous system’s fight, flight and freeze response.

Breathwork is a revolutionary approach to body-centered healing which can be used to release long-held trauma and chronic tension. You will learn skills to unwind from stressful habitual patterns and establish healthy ways of being. The benefits of breathwork can include:

• Reduced anxiety and depression
• Increased stress-resilience
• Feelings of more ease and flow in life
• Decreased physical pain
• Heightened intuitive insight
• Awakened presence and feeling uplifted
• Expanded sense of connection with others

In this training and retreat, we couple breath with sound healing. The foundation of sound healing is that everything in the universe is in a constant state of vibration, including every bone, tissue, organ and cell in our body. When we are in a state of sound health, all of our body parts are vibrating harmoniously at their optimal or resonant frequency. When our vibration is not in sync with our optimal frequency we can feel out of sorts, imbalanced and depleted. What we are going for through breath and sound healing is a resonant and healthy vibration in the body. It is in this state that we deepen our state of relaxation, reduce anxiety and tension, heighten awareness and get a boost to the immune system.

For massage therapists:
Breath is a significant part of a massage therapy session however isn’t part of the basic education in massage therapy training. Many therapists don’t know how to effectively work with the breath or educate their clients on how to breathe without chronic muscular constriction or holding patterns. We bring the breath to the center of attention and focus the awareness on breathing more effectively. This is a highly experiential training and open to anyone interested in the transformative nature of the breath. Massage therapists receive 21 CE’s.

THIS EMPOWERING COSTA RICAN ADVENTURE is for women who want to refresh their bodies and revive their soul. Held at one of Costa Rica’s oldest and most popular yoga retreat centers, Pura Vida Retreat and Spa is perched in the volcanic hills of Alajuela at 4,900 feet above sea level. As an award-winning spa and wellness destination Pura Vida overlooks the the Central Valley of San Jose and is known for its outstanding hospitality, breathtaking views, and exquisite gardens. We’ll practice daily hatha yoga classes each morning and slower immersive restorative evening yoga workshops. Our days will be spent steeping in the practices of yoga, adventuring in the country of Costa Rica, and relaxing with massage, bodywork, and rest.

Welcome each new day during your vacation with a specially designed morning Kripalu yoga class. Kripalu Yoga is much more than a physical discipline. Kripalu Yoga is a practice of transformation – a way to open the heart, find clarity, and experience stillness within. There will be a mindfulness theme for each day that will lead you deeper into a celebration of life. Workshops will include Energy Medicine Yoga (EMYoga) to enhance health and wellbeing, mindful eating, restorative yoga to soothe your body and mind, and a 1/2 day silent retreat to develop inner peace and loving kindness. In the sacred space we create together you can allow your spirit to slowly awaken and reconnect with the simple joy of being fully alive. Both yoga and mindfulness emphasize listening to the body’s needs and respecting its limits. This approach allows each of us, beginner or experienced, to receive the benefits of the practice and make each moment one to celebrate.

There will be plenty of time to receive treatments at the wellness center, lounge by the pool, soak in the hot tub under the stars, take in the spectacular views, meet new friends, and enjoy the many optional eco-adventure tours which are available at Pura Vida Retreat & Spa. Journey home feeling truly refreshed and re-charged, with a new appreciation for the beauty of life.
