Discover Your Depths: Shadow Work Breathwork Class

Step into a compassionate space for Shadow Work Breathwork Class at CommuniTea Yoga and Retreats.

Doors open at 6:20pm.

A 1 hour and 30 minutesguided experience of self-inquiry, meditation, and breathwork.

There are parts of us we tuck away – behaviors we regret, emotions we suppress, traits we've learned to hide. In this workshop, we’ll gently explore these “shadow” aspects
of ourselves not as flaws, but as messengers and connections to our hidden self.

Through a blend of education, meditation, and breathwork, this experience is designed to guide you into a deeper connection with your inner landscape – offering space for
both courageous self-inquiry and nervous system care.

No prior experience is needed—just an open heart and a willingness to explore. We can’t wait to hold space for you on this transformative journey.

Breathwork can bring up deep emotional releases and somatic experiences, including:

• Tingling, buzzing, or energy movement throughout the body
• Emotional catharsis and the release of long-held emotions
• Physical sensations like muscle tightness (tetany)
• Feelings of deep relaxation, clarity, and renewal
• Transformative insights and spiritual connection

Every experience is unique, and all emotions that arise are valid and welcomed in this healing space.

Contraindications:

Breathwork is a powerful healing tool, but it may not be suitable for individuals with:

• Severe PTSD or unmanaged anxiety disorders
• Major heart conditions or high blood pressure
• A history of seizures, strokes, or schizophrenia
• Pregnancy (due to deep diaphragmatic breathing effects)

If you have concerns, please consult a healthcare provider before attending.

No prior experience required—just an open heart and willingness to heal.

After a breathwork session focused on healing through grief, participants often experience:

• Mental Clarity & Insight: A deeper understanding of emotions and the patterns shaped by loss
• Emotional Release: A sense of lightness after expressing and releasing long-held grief
• Renewed Sense of Self: Reconnecting with parts of yourself that may have felt distant or forgotten
• Enhanced Clarity: Many people report feeling mentally clear and more grounded after the session
• Physical Sensations: Some participants might feel tingling, warmth, or a sense of energy moving through their bodies as emotions are processed
• Increased Relaxation: A deep sense of calm and restoration often follows breathwork, contributing to overall well-being
• Insights and Reflections: Journaling or quiet reflection after the session can lead to profound personal insights and a clearer path forward

Let’s honor our grief with compassion, release what no longer serves us, and step into a life of healing, renewal, and empowerment.
