Let Breath Be Your Medicine

Experience the transformational power of the breath at this 3-day Conscious Breathwork Retreat at Bodhi Khaya guided by Nathan Maingard and Olivia Moon.

The breath is so much more than just oxygen. It is our life force energy that has the power to shift, unblock and heal on a mind, body and soul level by regulating the nervous system and bringing us back into alignment. This retreat is an opportunity to reconnect to your inner truth by uncovering and dissolving the layers of conditioning, using the breath as your medicine to bring us back into the beauty of oneness versus the illusion of separateness.

Conscious Breathwork is a breathing technique that induces an altered state of consciousness, activating the body's inner healing intelligence, expanding awareness and relieving physical tension and stress in the body, as well as clearing past trauma and releasing unprocessed emotions.

Breathwork cleanses the body, is powerfully insightful, unblocks stuck energy and rebalances your being on all levels, creating positive shifts that you will carry with you well beyond the weekend.

Join in for a schedule of soulful practices in order for you to explore your body, mind and breath and connect more deeply with your true nature.
