Breathwork Meditation and Drawing with Natalja & Bree

Guest artist, meditation and yoga instructor Bree VanZutphen leads a unique combination of breathwork and meditation practice. Following the meditation, the group is guided through drawing the feelings in their bodies while maintaining the meditative state. Wear clothes to move in. After each workshop with Natalja, she will be taking portraits and asking participants some questions about wellbeing and transformation. Let her know if you'd like to take part!

Bree VanZutphen has been a mover her whole life. As a professional dancer, she has studied the art of movement and its ability to shift our perception. She teaches Vinyasa, Bikram, restorative yoga, meditation, and active breathwork. She credits much of growth to direct experience and considers every moment in life to be her teacher and is a true believer in the necessity of movement to uproot stagnation in our lives. Bree's teaching is designed for students to create more space in their bodies and minds so that they may recognize their highest potential.
