Next-Level Healing: Rhythmic Breathing to Cleanse & Renew
Experience a unique, 90-minute Healing Practice designed to activate a 3-part rhythmic breathing pattern—effectively quieting our dominant, more cognitive minds so we can drop into a deeper state of being.
Breathwork clears the nervous system of emotional and energetic blockages, and allows more connection with Self and surroundings—so we become more present as a whole. A natural remedy for stress and anxiety, breathwork facilitates self-awareness, opening space for mindfulness.
Return home to yourself through this transformational practice and tap your own self-healing ability with US Breathwork Facilitators Allie, Leigh and Brendan—who each look forward to creating a safe, sacred space in which to guide you.
Allie is an E-RHY 700-hour Vinyasa Yoga teacher, and is currently pursuing an 875-hour Yoga Therapy Certification with Breathing Deeply Yoga. Allie is inspired by the transformative power of yoga and its ability to connect us with our authentic Self, as well as our own innate power to heal. She shares the practice in a strong, inviting and spirited manner. Outside the studio, Allie is a Psychotherapist serving NY and NJ, and lives in Hoboken with her partner and mini farm of animals (two dogs and two cats).
Brendan Practicing yoga and meditation for close to 20 years, Brendan’s wellness journey has taken him around the globe, having immersed in study in India, Nepal, and Thailand, before completing his 200-hour RYT certification with YogaWorks, NYC. Continuing his studies, Brendan recently completed a Vipassana Meditation intensive in Indonesia, adding another layer of depth to his variety of offerings as an instructor.
Brendan’s warmth, approachable manner, and attention to detail appeal to seekers of all levels—both knowers and growers. His energetic yoga classes combine intelligent sequencing with an upbeat pace that leaves you feeling calm yet invigorated—and with a better understanding of your body. Meditation classes with Brendan utilize a range of modalities, breathing techniques, and mindfulness practices to further cultivate and maintain mind-body balance and deep inner connection.
Brendan’s passion for and dedication to teaching has not only bridged the Hudson, but has spanned two coasts, guiding adults and kids alike—in classroom and teacher training settings—from Hoboken, surrounding suburbs, and New York City to the gold coast of Los Angeles.
Leigh Higgins, a longtime Hoboken resident, is a healer who combines sound and energy modalities, shamanic practice, and coaching strategies to support clients in finding balance and connection on their healing path. As a sound healer, Leigh uses a variety of instruments, including bowls, gongs, drums, rattles, flute, and voice, to clear energetic blockages, imprint and align healthy energies, and help shift clients into a space where they can learn to heal themselves.
Using these practices as tools for personal growth and awareness, participants learn to develop a foundational practice, release outdated narratives, attune themselves to their own growth and authenticity, and connect to themselves, others, and to life in empowering and impactful ways.
