In most of the breathing workshops, after a short introduction, we simply stand there. You can try this now if you like, it’s helpful to have enough space around you so that you feel relaxed. If your shoes have a heel, they need to come off. Five minutes is a good starting point. We close...

The concept of “connection” can be a little broad. We can of course connect deeply with not just a lot of different people, but even feel connected to other animals and nature.
