Participants come for mindful movement, to raise their heart rate, breathe and sweat; getting their daily work out. There are also those who desire to connect to the deeper, more expanded aspects of who they are, relaxing the mind and opening into the heart – accessing an internal field of wholeness.

Inner Journeys offers participants an opportunity to step back from who they think they are, and really experience the being inside the body. It is a beautiful transformational journey, offering insights and clarity in all aspects of Life, through the experience of dance!

We offer breathwork sessions monthly in Calgary, as well tour Southern Alberta often sharing this practice in Claresholm, Lethbridge, Pincher Creek and soon to be more.

We do have a break in between the theory to the actual session. There will be enough time for everyone to use the washroom at that time. If you do need to go during your session that is more than okay.

The breathwork session requires you to be there the entire time to receive its full benefits. We take pride in time impeccability, so we always start on time, finishing at the time stated.
