January, 2025. It’s winter! I shoveled three times during the 9.5” of snowfall. What a delight it is to shovel! My dear mother, sister, and father couldn’t shovel for different reasons. I struggled with my own health in weight and debilitating ‘itis-es in my early 20s, but that’s a story for another time—next month.
I’m just glad to announce another Breathing workshop. My old health conditions didn’t fall away magically. Shifting my breathing pattern was a great help. Maybe that will help you too. I continue to study and will have even more to share at the end of the year.
Move Your Lungs (in person), Saturday, 8 Feb, 10-noon, $40. Details below
So, if you’re interested in understanding and experimenting with breathing mechanisms that can help your health, sign up. It is my great privilege to share what I’ve been given with you, and this is it.
