Feldenkrais and Breathplay with Rebecca Frances

A day workshop with Rebbeca Frances!

An experimental workshop exploring interventions in breathing patterns created by you, allowed by others, enforced by others. This is a day of experimenting with your own breath and with that of others. Introducing BDSM and play elements into quintessential breathwork practices, what new possibilities arise for enhanced experiences?

Though breath is the focus of this class, we do not limit ourselves to classical breathing exercises. We will explore the way we breathe in variety of contexts - from subtle breath manipulations to interpersonal explorations. How does my breathing change when I am next to this person? Or to that one? How do I want to influence this person’s breathing? How do I do that?

We will play with solo-exercises, to gain an understanding of exactly how it feels for us physically and emotionally to manipulate our breathing patterns. Then, taking a slow and calculated approach, we start to intervene with the breathing cycle of others, manipulating it to observe the effects.

This exploration isn’t about ‘improving’ the way one breaths, but rather about cultivating intimacy - with the way one is, with others - through and with breath.
