Breema: Exercises for the Art of Being Present (BODYWORK – 17BREE10)

Description: Breema is based on a profound understanding of the underlying unity of all life, expressed through the Nine Principles of Harmony. The atmosphere of a Breema workshop is deeply nourishing and revitalizing. Through Breema bodywork and Self-Breema you can explore and experience first-hand the Nine Principles, which can be applied in any activity or situation. The Nine Principles are: body comfortable, no extra, firmness and gentleness, full participation, mutual support, no judgment, single moment/single activity, no hurry/no pause, and no force.

Practicing Breema can help you to be present and bring greater harmony to all aspects of your life, as well as to nurture yourself in the midst of life’s demands.
