She currently teaches for the University of Virginia and recently completed a year of entrepreneurial studies at the Darden/Batten iLab incubator.

Thursday, Aug 17, 7-9pm: Basic Breathwork
Plain and simple, breathwork changed my life. As a busy start-up manager and general over-achiever, I never took the time to slow down. Breathwork helped me gain control over my mind, body and life in a radically new way.
In this workshop, we will practice:
-Basic Neuroscience (why we go into fight or flight vs. rest and digest in daily life)
-3-Part Breathing for Clarity and Relaxation
-Alternate Nostril Breathing for Balance
-Forceful Exhalations for Energy
-Simple applications for breathwork in everyday life
"Never give up, always let go." -Guru Roshan
Thursday, Aug 24, 7-9pm: Extreme Breathing for Adventurers and Athletes
After practicing years of breathwork for yoga, meditation and endurance sports, I decided it was time to test my skills. This summer in Bali, I learned breath preparation techniques for surfing, free-diving and climbing Mt. Everest! I unlocked parts of my brain that continue to infuse my every day life with less fear and more calm, clarity and happiness.
In this workshop we will experience:
-The Wim Hof Breathing Method for Cold Exposure
-The Breathe Up Technique for Free Diving + Triathlons
-The Box Breathing Technique Used by Navy Seals
-General discussion about how to get safely involved in adventure sports
"Do one thing every day that scares you." -Eleanor Roosevelt
Sunday, Sept 3, 4-7pm: Mindfulness for Active Entrepreneurs + Changemakers
Co-founders Erin Henshaw and Brittany Dunn will combine forces to offer the ultimate mind body experience. Come in your sports clothes and get ready to participate in an event that will challenge your perceptions as a leader. This experiential program will help us analyze self-talk, healthy habits, stress response, brain plasticity and resilience in the face of daily challenge.
Please bring exercise clothes, sports shoes, water and a towel.
