Introduction to Somatic Breathwork and Inner Child Connection is a one-hour class with Victoria Duarte at Healing Arts Center in Virginia Beach. Victoria is a certified somatic and mindfulness coach and breathwork facilitator with more than fifteen years of practice.

Somatic breathwork uses guided breathing to bring your attention into your body. You follow the breath and notice what you feel, such as tightness, warmth, or heaviness.

Inner child connection is the practice of turning toward the younger parts of yourself with patience and care. Inner child work starts from the idea that many of your responses to stress were learned early in life. This class introduces a way to meet those responses with kindness.

The class is an introduction, so it suits people who are new to breathwork and people returning to the practice. Victoria asks for consent at each step, and you choose how much of each practice to do.

What to expect:

• Guided breathing with attention on the body

• An introduction to inner child connection

• Consent at each step, with every practice offered as a choice

• A one-hour class in a group setting

Cost: $20
