The Breath Empowerment
Saturday, January 21st
4:30 - 5:30pm $20

This is one of the most intense and powerful breathing practices you will ever experience! It takes only 40 minutes, but your body feels the vibration for much longer as you achieve levels of relaxation and overall body wellness. One of the few physical exercises you can do that increases your body's alkalinity, this practice is extremely healing. Music and the instructor's voice are there to coach you through the whole process. Large amounts of Qi will enter your body and create a vibration, like an engine humming through your body. This sacred practice from India routinely produces profound experiences in people.

Advanced Breath Empowerment
Date TBD $20

For regular practitioners of The Breath Empowerment, here is the next level of practice! Guided visualizations and advanced breath control during the course of the Warrior's Breath takes your energetic and meditative state to a higher state. It is absolutely required that you have done The Breath Empowerment practice to participate in this class.

ON THE BOARD TODAY:

"I AM A METAPHOR THAT EMBRACES REALITY, A REALITY THAT REVEALS THE UNITY OF THE SOUL, A WITNESS WHO JUSTIFIES THE WAYS OF THE GODS. TELL THEM THAT WHAT THEY IMAGINE IS DRAWN IN THE SKY OF THE GODS AND REFLECTED UPON THE MIRROR OF THEIR SOULS "

~Kahlil Gibran, The Beloved

The Sights of Breakthrough

Breakthrough Healing Arts is honored to be certified by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork. We are happy to provide CE hours for NCBTMB-certified Massage Therapists and Bodyworkers. Credits are eligible for up to two years.

Qigong Classes - 1 CE Unit

Workshops and Retreats- 1 CE Unit/ hour

In April of 2008, three months after their fateful meeting, Kai Van Bodegom-Smith and Irene Caguinguin hatched an idea. Kai had a penchant for the Oriental Healing Arts and a passion for caring for others; Irene was a business artist in need of a subject and a canvas. Together, they built an entity that has taken on a life of its own. Breakthrough Healing Arts was built on the foundation that people are divine creations of their physical presence, their energetic emotions, and their thought patterns. And the space that they built, at first with the humble intention of being both a classroom and treatment space, has truly become a safe haven in which people from all walks of life can come in and express themselves fully, through practice, meditation, treatments and, sometimes, just in community.
