Breathwork for Releasing and Connecting
A recording of The Retreat Space’s live online gathering, Breathwork for Releasing and Connecting, on March 26, 2020.
Tara Jones of Makia Rising talked to us about the power of breathwork during this difficult time. She led us through several minutes of very active breathing, followed by a short rest to soak up the sensations. The three-part breath she teaches quickly quiets the worried mind and purges the body and nervous system of emotional debris and helps us be more present in our hearts.
Tara Jones is a gifted healer and breathwork facilitator. If you like this practice, I encourage you to go deeper by joining one of Tara’s 90-minute virtual breathwork groups.
NOTE: A gentle reminder that we are not doctors and this is not intended as a treatment or a substitute for medical advice or care. Take care as you practice, listening to your body’s responses and modifying or stopping when needed.
We honor and respect the ancient wisdom and long teaching lineage that developed into this breathwork technique, which likely has its roots in pranayama—a breathing practice that originated in India. We acknowledge the indigenous people of India, and those who were removed from the ancestral land on which we all practice. We offer our gratitude for this beautiful practice, and dedicate it to the wellbeing of the earth and all beings. Future classes will incorporate these foundational beliefs.
YOUR GUIDES
Tara Jones is a Breathwork Healing Facilitator, Massage Therapist, and the owner of Makia Rising. For 20 years she has been part of the Healing Arts community, where she has had the privilege of developing strong relationships with clients. She believes that healing starts from a positive frame of mind that "we are not broken." Most of us carry around tension, pain, fear, and outdated beliefs tucked deep in our bodies and nervous systems. Starting the process of letting go and integrating, sometimes just requires loving care of our body, plus the willingness to keep an open heart and mind. Tara would be honored to hold space for you and help guide you in your healing process so you can live the healthy, balanced life you've always wanted. You can connect with Tara through her website or Instagram.
