BREATHE IN PARIS
Le Centre Élément
“Breathwork for Letting Go of 2024”
In-person - In French - All levels welcome!
I am so happy to see you at the Element Centre for another Breathe in Paris workshop. I love this place which is renowned for its holistic and energetic approach to healing the body, mind and soul. It was the first to open its doors to Breathe in Paris in October 2018.
THE WORKSHOP
During the first half of this 3-hour session, I will connect you to your breath while introducing the “theme of the day” and the four pillars of Breathe in Paris : meditation, Reiki, coaching and Breathwork. With humor and scientific facts, I will explain the Breathwork technique, what you can expect, and why it's so important to breathe correctly. The second half will be spent lying on your back with a mask covering your eyes (bring your own or buy one from me!) as I guide you through the Breathwork session based on the theme. This is when the volume of the music increases and the energy moves around the room. A single session is sometimes enough to create a significant change as Breathwork helps reduce anxiety and stress, better manage emotions, improve the digestive system and physical performance. Breathwork is purely experiential and no two sessions are alike. Be prepared to step out of your comfort zone and you just may emerge transformed. Please note that this class is for beginners and experts, but Breathwork is not recommended for certain people, see below.
THE THEME : “BREATHWORK FOR LETTING GO OF 2024”
"Take a deep breath and let go of what no longer serves you. It’s time to embrace what’s next." – Oprah Winfrey
As we approach the end of the year, it’s normal to start reflecting on everything that has happened over the last 12 months—both the ups and the downs. Maybe you’ve achieved some goals and are looking ahead with excitement, or perhaps there are things you’re still holding on to that didn’t go as planned…. Or both! Either way, the closing of one year and the start of another is a powerful reminder to pause, breathe, and let go. This 3-hour workshop is all about creating that pause for yourself. I’ll guide you through journaling, meditation, Reiki, and Breathwork to honor the lessons 2024 brought, and gently release what no longer serves you. Whether it’s old patterns, unfulfilled expectations, or simply the heaviness of the past year, this session will be an invitation to free yourself and create space for a new beginning. Let this time be a moment of ease—leaving you more centered and grounded as you prepare for a fresh start filled with new opportunities in 2025.

Please arrive early, and don't have any commitments immediately after the session (sometimes I go over schedule, especially if you want to stay and chat).
THIS PRACTICE IS NOT ADVISED FOR CERTAIN PEOPLE
It is important to know that Breathwork is not relaxation, but a physical, mental and emotional challenge.
