Friday 7 pm – 9 pm: Learn to Breathe, to Heal Yourself & Your Relationships

2 hours – all levels

How does the way we breathe affect our stress level, anxiety, quality of sleep, and even our relationships? Breath penetrates, breath invigorates, and breath heals. The effect of Max’s breathing techniques is a profound sense of calm, mental clarity, and a release of physical and emotional tension.

Max has been teaching breathwork to tens of thousands of people around the world for 30 years, giving him a unique perspective on the intimate relationship between our breath and our emotions. It is the quintessential tool to begin the healing of anxiety, panic attacks, and grief. This is why the breathing techniques he teaches are now being used by therapists and psychologists in their sessions.

These exercises are accessible to everyone and do not require hours of challenging breathwork to have the desired effect. The class will include a lecture, simple but high-impact breathing exercises, and guided meditation.

Topics included in this workshop:• Breathing patterns to help with anxiety, sleep issues, and depression• When to breathe through the mouth and when to breathe through the nose• When to expand the chest and when to expand the abdomen

Saturday 10 am – 12.30 pm: Crisis is the Axis for Transformation

2.5 hours – training, all levels welcome

This workshop deals directly with the modern epidemic of stress in industrial societies across the world. Many of us are plagued with anxiety and depression because we are actually living in a quiet state of crisis. But the opportunity of a crisis is that we have a clarity unparalleled to any other time in our life. What is important, and not so important, becomes almost blindingly clear — there is no better time to rebuild your vision of your life.

This workshop is designed for teachers who will learn the keys to introducing this effective methodology within the context of a yoga and/or breathing class, or private coaching sessions. It includes lecture, self-enquiry, gentle breathwork, and writing. Because so many people are currently in crisis, everyone is welcome to attend. Please have writing material on hand.

Saturday 2 pm – 4 pm: Releasing + Healing Our Emotional Body through Postures and Breathwork

2 hours – movement-based seminar, all levels

It is said that the human being has a powerful guiding voice within — the voice of our intuition and wisdom. But this voice is often drowned out by the noise in our mind, which is commonly caused by chaotic or congested emotions from stress, depression, PTS, or anxiety.

In this workshop, we will begin with a talk by Max, then move into a gentle breath-initiated movement sequence. In the second half, we’ll focus on floor postures and breathwork to release the mind and body from long-held emotions that impede our happiness and ability to sleep well.

Bring your mat and writing materials.

Sunday 10 am – 12 pm: Some Doors Open Only from the Inside

2 hours – breathwork and lecture, all levels

Testimonials:
“Genuinely life-changing.”
“Turning point in my life.”
“Major breakthrough.”
“Highly valued catalyst in my therapy process.”

These are just a few of the numerous comments from people who have experienced a powerful breathwork session with Max.

There’s a time for theory, and there’s a time to let our breath work for us and go beyond what we can rationally grasp — to release our congested emotions from stress, depression, anxiety, or PTS.

Emotions affect our breathing — for example, crying and laughing. But did you know that changing the pattern of our breathing influences our emotions? Through this innovative method and simple techniques, you’ll experience incredible results. The practices you learn in this workshop will bring you to a calm, inspired state with new depths of insight.

This workshop includes lecture, standing and seated breathing exercises. Please bring writing materials.
