Freeing the Voice - Awakening Self-Expression Through Breath and Sound
Breath Ceremony
with Jan & Arne
Yyoga Special
Saturday November 23, 15:00 (180min)
Our voice is one of the most vital channels for expressing our innermost feelings and experiences. Unfortunately, many of us learned to inhibit this expression during childhood, often conforming to the expectations of our educators and caregivers. What began as a necessary survival strategy can become a significant barrier in adulthood. As a result, many individuals carry a sensation of tightness in their throats or an undercurrent of unexpressed sadness, making it challenging to raise their voices or truly be heard.
Price: 65 EUR (3-hour session)
Join us for our Breath Ceremony, where we will gently guide you through a transformative three-hour journey designed to help you free up your voice.
This session offers a safe and nurturing environment where you can rediscover the joy of self-expression alongside others. Over the course of this transformative three-hour journey, we will guide you step-by-step in releasing tensions and blockages in your throat and jaw. You will learn to use your voice from a place of empowerment, allowing you to articulate what is alive within you.
Through mindful exercises and thoughtfully designed movements, you will have the opportunity to free your breath and release both physical and emotional constraints.
As you regain the ability to breathe and speak freely, you will uncover a renewed power to connect with others and engage in authentic dialogue.

The Method of Biodynamic Breathwork and Trauma Release® (BBTRS) is an evidence-based therapeutic technique that has its roots in Wilhelm Reich’s body-oriented therapy, Bio-Energetics by Alexander Lowen, Peter Levine’s trauma healing method, Polyvagal Theory by Stephen Porges and Dr. Bercelli’s Trauma Release Excercises.
It consists of thoroughly chosen specific breathing patterns, conscious movement and dance, specialised techniques of touch and bodywork as well as exercises releasing tension from inside of the body, gentle emotional release techniques, exercises in self-awareness and meditation practices. Their thoughtful combination into an integrated flow allows the release of long-held trauma from the body and mind.
