Breathwork and body-awareness in Brussels
My work follows the method of conscious and free breathing developed by Ilse Middendorf and Erika Kemmann in Berlin. This method
... relieves tensions and brings us closer to ourselves. It helps in case of stress, burnout, depression, anxiety and chest tightness.
... improves the voice.
... can be used to accompany the treatment of functional respiratory disorders and respiratory malformations (hyperventilation, shallow breathing, paradoxical diaphragmatic breathing, respiratory arrhythmia) and of respiratory diseases (asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, COPD).
Body-awareness improves and breathing becomes deeper and freer.
LESSONS
Sitting or standing, we perform simple body movements and massage techniques on ourselves, which promote the natural flow of breath.
When we breathe in, the diaphragm contracts and sinks. This presses the abdominal organs towards the pelvis and against the abdominal walls. At the same time, the ribs rise, expanding the ribcage. When we breathe out, the body walls move back inwards. So breathing makes us alternately broader and smaller.
Regular practice - in class and at home - improves the body's receptivity to the breathing movements, strengthens the respiratory system, and brings us into contact with our inner resources.
INDIVIDUAL HANDS-ON SESSIONS
Fully dressed, you lie down on the breathing couch. With my hands and words I help you to better perceive your body, in order to free up your breathing. In tune with your breathing, I apply fine pressure, stroke, stretch and mobilise the different parts of your body. This creates space in your body and your breath becomes free and starts to flow.
