SUMMARY:A Somatic Movement Approach to Breathing
DESCRIPTION:A Somatic Movement Approach to Breathing \nwith Robert Litman\, RSME \n3-class series on Saturdays\, June 1\, June 15\, and June 29\, 2024 from 10am-12pm ET \n$150 for ISMETA members — $215 for non-members \n  \nBodies breathe! No two breaths are alike. Each new cycle of breathing can be viewed with curiosity and potential discovery. And we never know if we will get another breath. Each breath is a gift to animate our lives. Breathing consciously provides an opportunity to have a direct relationship with our inner landscapes and for our breath to become an inner resource for our interactions and connection with life—the life which surrounds us. The mission of a Somatic Movement Approach to Breathing is to guide you in establishing an intimate relationship with your breathing and the responsive movements of your body to the changes that arrive in the presence of breath. Noticing how breath moves within you and how the body responds to it are invitations to a deeper knowing of your emotional life\, your spiritual life (spirit is literally breath)\, your physical wellbeing\, your health\, your professional life\, and your private practice. \nIn this 3-class series that draws on the anatomy and physiology of breathing\, Robert Litman will guide you with Continuum explorations to learn to tune in deeply to your own breathing body\, an embodied experience that can be passed on to your clients.  Personal histories and adaptations to circumstances shape the tensional patterns of our bodies\, patterns that\, in turn\, shape our breathing. Overly protective tensions that arose from trauma\, whether hypervigilance or collapse\, limit the capacity of the breath to fully provide nourishment to all the cells of the body—bringing in oxygen and removing excess carbon dioxide. Learning to perceive the “messages” that breath\, breathing\, and our somatic responses to breathing express can inform us as healthcare providers. In fact\, Robert believes that learning to read breathing patterns is an essential skill in any somatic movement or complementary field. Equally important is to be able to speak to the client about these patterns and to offer cues that can open new possibilities for wellness. \nParticipants in this course will learn: \n\nThe basic science of respiration\, proper breathing mechanics\, and how nose breathing plays an essential role in oxygen nutrition and maintaining health.\nTo attend to the body to shift disordered breathing to functional breathing patterns that rest and settle the nervous system\, potentially reducing stress\, anxiety\, and depression.\nThe application of breathing practices in therapeutic settings to alleviate symptoms of anxiety\, panic\, and dysfunctional breathing\, i.e. asthma\, COPD\, and emphysema.

SUMMARY:Shaping the Body for Breath: Yoga\, Continuum & Breathing
DESCRIPTION:Shaping the Body for Breath \nYoga\, Continuum & Breathing \nwith Bobbie Ellis & Robert Litman \nOctober 7 & 8\, 2023 11 am – 3 pm Pacific Time \nwith optional in-depth practice on October 9\, 11 am – 3 pm \n  \nIt is said in many old yoga texts that the breath shapes the body like wind on sand… \nIn this 2 or 3-day experience we will explore yoga “shapes” imbued with the sounds\, movements and silent listening of Continuum to evoke space and shape for breath to be received without resistance. As breath touches the body from the inside\, we will use the gentle touch of our hands to bring into relationship our internal and external perceptions. In using sound to bring vibration into the body\, another ancient yoga technique\, the movement of sound begins to change our structure and becomes the architect for the sacred gift of breathing. \nClass Schedule \n\nOctober 7 & 8 — $195 or $175 early registration by 10/1\nOctober 9 — $50\nAll 3 days — $245 or $225 early registration by 10/1\n\nPayable via PayPal\, Venmo\, Credit Card\, check or Zelle. \n\n  \n
