MIDDENDORF BREATH WORK

 

Middendorf Breathwork was developed by Ilse Middendorf sixty years

ago in Germany. It is accepted by German health professionals and the

German national insurance system. There are over seven thousand

breathworkers in the city of Berlin.

 

The work differs from cathartic and holotropic breathwork. It is based

on the natural, innate breath rhythm. By bringing the unconscious

breath into focus, the natural breath grows, our cells are charged, and

relaxation, ease, and vitality result.This gentle, somatic breathwork

focuses on sensing the movement of breath within the body. When the

mind and the body become connected through breath, both physical

and emotional resistance patterns are easily released.

 

Breath is the thread that weaves through all spiritual traditions. It

not only transforms the body, but it brings deep joy and inner peace.


SUMMER / FALL '97 SCHEDULE


WEEKLY CLASSES

The work is based on sitting and standing exercises that connect movement and the

natural breath rhythm. By following the breath, one increases sensory awareness of its

subtle movement throughout the whole body. The result is a natural expansion of the breath.
