Ecstatic Dance & BioDynamic Breathwork

Description

I invite you to the Ecstatic Dance & BioDynamic Breathwork, a space intended to wake up sensations in the body, express them through movement, and welcome emotions, and energies that arise. These journeys are often transformative, and healing, and that is my deep intention of hosting them. We start with 1h ecstatic dance and later after preparatory exercises, transition into 1h BioDynamic Breathwork healing journey. The workshop ends with a soft integration and space to share about your experience. Both dancing and breathwork are very close to my heart and I am really excited for the possibility of bringing them together in these workshops. Everyone is welcome, and no prior experience is required. with gratitude, Mateusz 𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫? Ecstatic Dance is meant to welcome all forms of movement and bodily expressions, supporting participants to find their inner freedom, creativity, self-expression, innocence, and connection to the body. Dance has been proven to have therapeutic influence, support connection to oneself, regulate the nervous system, and strengthen the sense of grounding and connection to the Life Force. It is a great opening before the breathwork that follows. BioDynamic Breathwork is meant for anyone who wishes to feel less anxious, more connected to the body, or to find peacefulness in the mind. Thanks to that process, participants often experience a release of held-back emotions, loosening up tensions in the body and feeling more at ease with life. It is a holistic, trauma-informed approach to healing and self-discovery. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞? Breath is an essential component of one’s physical and mental well-being. However, throughout life, we learn different patterns of holding it to reduce what we feel when encountering challenging experiences. As a result, we also reduce access to vitality, freedom, intuition, creativity, and the essence of the Being. Once we invite deep, continuous breaths through the mouth the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight) gets stimulated, which helps to connect with suppressed impulses of the body, energies, and emotions. It changes the neurochemistry of the brain and allows us to loosen up the grip of our ego mind. When we later slow the breath down the deep state of the parasympathetic nervous system (rest&digest) gets activated, which brings a deep state of relaxation, integration, and clarity.
