Breathwork with Sanni Parkkinen 5.10. + 19.10. + 26.10.2022

The most important thing you do every single day is…. BREATHE.

Breathing of all things has the greatest impact on your health. It has the power to change the state of your nervous system. It is capable of charging you with energy, alleviating stress, anxiousness and fear as well as shifting your perspective on things. Even chronic pain can be treated with breathwork.

Breathing is also the most basic movement. All other movements build on breathing. Breathing is the foundation for more complex movement patterns. Functional movement requires functional breathing, and functional breathing leads to movement patterns that are aligned, effortless and efficient. In case there are blockages in breathing, there most likely will be blockages in movement as well as in the inner flow of emotions, thoughts and inspiration.

In the Praxis classes, Sanni leads you through explorations on breathing and movement, synchrony and asynchrony. Classes consist of breath awareness, movement and breathing practices focusing on freeing and functionalizing the breath. Each session includes also a breathwork session that works as a great tool for diving deeper into the body's wisdom, finding and releasing emotional blockages and tapping into one’s creative force.
