Unwind
Guided Breathwork Classes in Rangiora
Mind Quieter. Body Softer. Emotions Lighter
RAISE WITH RACHEL
A 2-Hour Guided Breathwork Experience, designed to quiet the mind, reconnect you with your body and create space for emotional release. Combining guided breathwork (relaxation and activation), grounding and somatic exploration. For people carrying mental noise, physical tension and emotional overwhelm, who want to feel lighter, more connected to themselves and learn to utilise their breath deeper in their every day life.
We spend so much time in our heads, pushing through the noise, holding tension and ignoring emotions… but when do we actually stop, breathe and reconnect with ourselves?
Our world is designed to have us in our busy, and all in our heads. Thinking, planning, managing and holding everything together… which is not a bad thing. Except when we are so busy getting through the day that we forget to stop and actually connect with ourselves (or we pop it at the bottom of the list, after the children, laundry, work, social life and all the other things).
The mental noise, physical tension and emotional overwhelm can become our bodies state of normal. We keep pushing through and life gets way less fun. We get snappy, shorter, and the cloud of “nothing is wrong but something is not quite right” can hover over us. We need to be making space to actually feel, process or reconnect with ourselves, and sometimes that means stepping away from the home to be truly present.
UNWIND is an opportunity to be in a space without distraction, for you, and explore what happens when you give yourself the time to breathe.
This is for the people with the busy minds, the full schedules, the emotional load and anyone wanting to understand their body, emotions and breath on a deeper level.
Let's get you going from:
Living in your head and constantly overthinking, to quietening the mental noise and reconnecting with your body so you can actually feel the exhale hit right
Carrying physical tension and holding stress, to exploring what your body is holding and allowing space for it to soften and release to help you sleep easier at night
Pushing emotions aside or feeling overwhelmed by them, to strengthening the mind-body connection and making time and space to feel what is here, in a supportive environment
Breathing without much thought or awareness, to understanding the power of your breath and learning how to work with it intentionally, which is a powerful move
Feeling caught up in the demands of everyday life, to creating space for yourself, reconnecting with who you are and leaving feeling lighter, clearer and more present in yourself
Life doesn't stop asking things of us, at all. Learning to quiet the mind, soften the body and work with our emotions can change how we meet it though and get right with what we need to do next.
WHAT’S INCLUDED:
2 hour breathwork class (Please BYO yoga mats, blankets and pillow - some available let us know if you need)
Connection to your mind, body and emotions in a way that meets you where you are at on the day
A combination of relaxation, and activating breath to support you to explore your inner world
Space to have the self care and support, that you deserve
This is for you if:
Your mind is often loud and busy, and you'd love a bit of quiet
You spend a lot of time looking after everything and everyone else and want some time for yourself
You carry tension in your body and want space to slow down and soften
You find yourself pushing emotions aside and would like to understand what’s happening beneath the surface without need to talk more, analyse it more and spend hours journalling about it (again)
You're curious about breathwork and want to explore what your breath can do for you on the mat, and in your daily life
You want to feel more connected to yourself, mentally, physically and emotionally
You're keen to try something different and are into self development, and self care that is grounded, practical and supportive
You don't need any previous experience with breathwork (but are welcome if you have it, of course). You don't need to know what you're looking for, either. Your breath will support you to explore what is here, that sometimes we consciously do not understand, but we feel anyway.
This is not for you if you are:
looking for a quick fix or an instant solution to everything right now
going to expect every session to feel the same or produce a particular outcome (that is driven from the mind)
not open to slowing down, tuning in or giving yourself space to experience what's coming up
looking for a highly social class where the focus is conversation rather than the experience itself
wanting a full activating breath session and massive catharsis release (book a 1:1 for that, or stay tuned for deeper experiences)
UNWIND is about giving yourself the opportunity to explore, not forcing an experience. You are always welcome to take things at your own pace and will be given options throughout to ensure connection, over “release” is the ultimate goal here.
