Breathwork with Robert van der Heyden
In this breathwork class you will learn about functional breathing along with self assessment tools to check in with yourself daily. Based on your stress levels you will learn breathing techniques to shift from anxious/stressed state (fight or flight) to a rest and recovered state giving you more clarity and a sense of calm when ever you need it. Each class will start with an assessment of your breathing, a review of functional breathing techniques, and finally a guided breathwork session. This class is a perfect tool for changing a midday slump or transitioning from work to home life. Some of the benefits of breathwork include: boosted immunity, increased self-awareness, increased joy and happiness, improved concentration, increased energy, faster recovery from physical exertion, improved sleep, more focus and mental clarity.

As a lifelong learner and advocate for wellness, I have been a seeker of healthy ways
to thrive. I am grateful to share some of my practices with this community. I have
served Mt. SAC as a counselor and professor, and now as a mindfulness, meditation
and breath work guide. These practices are an integration of years of study and resources
that I personally use on a daily basis. I believe in the ability of every person to
make positive changes in their life with support and connection. I invite you into
stillness with me. Create a comfortable space for yourself and set a time for self-care
with these recorded sessions. In gratitude, Andrea Torres, M.S., MFT
