Breathe ~ a functional breathing class series – In-person or Zoom

Tap into the healing power of your breath with Julie Hill, a certified Buteyko breathing coach.

Functional breathing is effortless and silent, with little to no movement in your chest. You will sleep well and recover quickly from stressful events. How we breathe impacts every system in our body. Dysfunctional breathing causes the nervous system to stay stressed, bringing disease. Gain an understanding of basic mechanical and chemical aspects of your breathing. Classes progress each week, providing you time to explore and integrate practices.

This is a 4-class series.

Sound, Breath, & Meditation Class – In-person or Zoom

Join Julie in combing three modalities to balance your energy. Move through simple yet effective practices to support and balance your body, mind, and life. Bring a mat and spread out as you absorb the healing vibrations of the singing bowls, play with breathing practices, and release into meditation. You'll gain a greater sense of harmony, balance, and deep healing within. All three modalities are transformational and a powerful way to access your body’s innate intelligence to balance and heal itself.

Six videos are full hour classes (1 traditional Hatha & 5 therapeutic) that explore how the body parts move in relation to each other and how efficient that movement is. You will heighten your somatic awareness for movement patterns that bring strain or tension. The classes also encourage mindful movement and staying connected to your breath. It is recommended to move through each class 3 to 4 times. Enjoy four additional video explorations, including a release for the feet, a hip movement exploration, and two meditations. The library is accessible for 3 months. After registering you'll receive a link to access the library at your convenience. You can practice with the videos as many times as you like within that time. I'll be available to answer questions about the practices via email too.

5 Keys to Pain Free Neck & Shoulder Workshop – In-person

This is a practical workshop that will teach you movements you can do at home or work to relieve neck & shoulder pain. Many of us suffer from tension in our neck and shoulders. Working on computers, driving, reading, even checking our phones only exasperates it. Over time this can limit the ability to turn our head or move our arm. It also puts stress on our spine leading to disk problems. 

More than 75% of Americans suffer from neck & shoulder pain at some point. It’s time to make a change! Learn practices to release tension and movements to bring balance and function back into your neck and shoulders. Let's get the body moving how it is designed to.
