Step into a compassionate space for Shadow Work Breathwork Class at CommuniTea Yoga and Retreats.
Doors open at 6:20pm.
A 1 hour and 30 minutesguided experience of self-inquiry, meditation, and breathwork.
There are parts of us we tuck away – behaviors we regret, emotions we suppress, traits we've learned to hide. In this workshop, we’ll gently explore these “shadow” aspects
of ourselves not as flaws, but as messengers and connections to our hidden self.
Through a blend of education, meditation, and breathwork, this experience is designed to guide you into a deeper connection with your inner landscape – offering space for
both courageous self-inquiry and nervous system care.
No prior experience is needed—just an open heart and a willingness to explore. We can’t wait to hold space for you on this transformative journey.
