Breathwork for Open Hearts
with Chris Phipps
Friday, October 25th
7 - 9 pm
Maha Rose Brooklyn
For this workshop, let’s look to open ourselves up to whatever the heart is processing, be it romantic love, grief, sadness, joy, etc. When it comes to the aforementioned heart triggers, we’re often convinced that we’re ready for all of it, but in reality, our defenses and coping mechanisms try and keep it at bay.
Let’s dig in, together, on what it means to receive and process love and emotions in a healthy way. You’ll find that a somatic practice like Breathwork can sometimes do for us what we can’t simply do for ourselves through thinking.
Breathwork can take many forms, but most of the forms help regulate our nervous systems and help us get grounded and clear. The breathwork we’ll engage is in an activating type that brings physical sensations to shift our awareness away from the mind and into the body. When the body leads the way, we can move toward clarity, releasing stuck energy and coming out generally less burdened.
We’ll engage in a two-part breath with two inhales and one exhale, repeated rhythmically. While everyone’s reaction will be unique, we’ll spend time collectively concentrating on our sexual center and look to remove anything that’s blocking us there and keeping us from feeling free and comfortable in our skin.

Chris Phipps
Chris leads breathwork so that he can guide people toward deprogramming old ways of thinking that may have been useful at one time but no longer serve them: internal chatter of negativity, self-doubt, judgment, fear. He has attained two breathwork certifications, being sure to concentrate on both the emotional/spiritual aspects of holding space and, equally important, the science of breath and its effect on our nervous systems. Based in NYC, Chris also practices astrology, receiving certification via a two-year apprenticeship with Adam Sommer. His astrological focus is on the birth chart as personality indicator and the ever-changing skies as chapters in your life’s novel. With both modalities, there’s a therapeutic bent to his work.
