Description

The SKY Happiness Breathwork Retreat is a total well-being and resilience training program over 3 consecutive days for leaders, educators, clinicians, and community organizers. SKY’s experiential curriculum includes the acclaimed SKY ®Breath Meditation practice, breathwork practices, embodied somatic experiences, emotional intelligence training, interactive group processes and mindful leadership. Research shows that SKY Breath Meditation significantly increases well-being, mental health, deep sleep and positive emotion, while significantly reducing depression, anxiety and stress markers.


During session 2, we will experience the power of embodied somatic experiences to shift the state of mind and boost overall wellbeing. This session will focus on emotional intelligence frameworks and the application of foundational stress-management and resilience skills. Participants will explore how the evidence based techniques promote calm alertness and foster emotion regulation.
