Instructor: Matthew Tousignant

This vital center, or hara, is our center of gravity. Like a sun, it emanates life energy throughout the body. Often defined as the abdominal area, the real meaning of the hara far exceeds its physical dimension. When awakened, it integrates and harmonizes the functioning of our mind, emotions, and body. It introduces us to a new way of moving based on the relationship between part and whole and the interconnectedness of all life.

This class explores how Breema's Nine Principles of Harmony catalyze the awakening of our vital center and support a direct experience, or taste, or moving in harmony with Existence. Each class includes instruction in Breema bodywork, Self-Breema exercises, and body-centered meditation and movement. No prior experience is necessary.

Hours can be applied to the Breema Center's Practitioner Certificate Program. CEs are available for massage therapists, bodyworkers, and other health professionals. Classes are instructed by Matthew Tousignant, MA, CMT, Somatic Psychotherapist and Certified Breema Instructor.
