During this workshop you will have the chance to experience the healing power of the air element by giving and receiving a rebirthing breathwork session. You will also be introduced to the set of elemental practices discovered by Leonard Orr after fifty years of research with Yogis in India. These can be easily incorporated into daily life to reenergise and ever evolve health, happiness and success on all levels.

With Emma Skellern
Learn to breathe from the Breathe itself & uncover an incredible natural self healing programme working with Earth, Air, Fire & Water. Rebirthing-Breathwork, the air element, is perhaps the most valuable self-healing ability that people can learn. Once learnt, it is a simple skill for life to clear stuck energy that no longer serves your journey. During this workshop you will have the chance to experience the healing power of the air element by giving and receiving a rebirthing breathwork session. You will also be introduced to the set of elemental practices discovered by Leonard Orr after fifty years of research with Yogis in India. These can be easily incorporated into daily life to reenergise and ever evolve health, happiness and success on all levels. By deeply reconnecting with Earth, Air, Fire and Water on a very basic but profound level we have the building blocks to gracefully face life's challenges and create the reality we want.
