Morning Breathwork Workshop

"Experiencing Freedom from Within" with Lisanne van Niekerk

Time: 10:00am - 1:00pm

Are you ready to release tension and invite more freedom into your body? This workshop is for you.

Join us for a guided exploration using the Biodynamic Breathwork & Trauma Release System—a powerful approach that combines breath, movement, and body awareness to help dissolve patterns of tension and constriction. Together, we’ll gently journey through the body, uncovering places that feel stuck or limited, and inviting more flow, energy, and expansion.

You’ll be supported in a safe, compassionate space to meet yourself—and others—just as you are. Through breath, movement, and presence, you may experience deeper openness on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels.

No prior experience necessary.

Suggested exchange: $50–$100 sliding scale, or another form of trade/gift that feels meaningful and fair to you. We welcome energy exchange in whatever way is accessible.

Spots are limited. Please email lisannevanniekerk@gmail.com to reserve your spot.

Evening Breathwork Workshop

"Breathing with Intention" with Lisanne van Niekerk

Time: 6:30pm - 8:30pm

Start your weekend with a gentle reset—grounded in breath, intention, and presence.

Aligned with the new moon, this evening workshop invites you to release what no longer serves and breathe into clarity. We’ll begin by setting intentions (or you’re welcome to arrive with one already in mind), then move into a guided breathwork journey.

Held in a safe, supportive, and intimate space, you’ll be guided into deeper awareness of your breath, body, and sensations. Using breath, movement, sound, touch, and meditation, you'll be encouraged to move through your own unique experience.

You may leave feeling more open, energized, deeply relaxed, and attuned to what’s ready to emerge.

We’ll close with a short intention-setting circle—drawing on the insights and wisdom uncovered during the session.

No prior experience necessary.

Suggested exchange: $35–$65 sliding scale, or another form of trade/gift that feels meaningful and fair to you. We welcome energy exchange in whatever way is accessible.

Spots are limited. Please email lisannevanniekerk@gmail.com to reserve your spot.
