This evening workshop deals directly with the modern plague of sleeplessness and stress. In America, the Center for Disease Control has declared sleep disorder an epidemic, and this is happening in industrial cities across the world. This workshop will help you re-think your priorities and gives you knowledge to take home with you to help you to fall asleep quickly and stay asleep longer. This workshop begins with a lecture, and then moves into a gentle restorative sequence of postures and gentle movement that immediately trigger deep relaxation. This is followed by a powerful breathing sequence that takes you even deeper into extraordinary calm. Most students find it difficult to get up off the floor at the end because they are so relaxed. Simple, powerful, accessible. Bring writing materials.
All levels are welcome.

IA is a powerful hybrid of yoga, qi gong, and unique breathing patterns that emphasize emotional transformation. Max has taken this work around the world to people of many faiths and nationalities.

"Genuinely life-changing."
"Turning point in my life."
"Major breakthrough."
"Highly valued catalyst in my therapy process.”
Just a few of numerous comments of people having experienced a session of powerful breathwork with Max Strom. There’s a time for talking, and there’s a time to let our breath work for us and go beyond what we can rationally grasp to release our congested emotions from stress, depression, anxiety, or PTS. Emotions affect our breathing, for example: crying and laughing. But did you know that changing the pattern of our breathing influences our emotions?
An innovative method, simple techniques, and incredible results. The practices you will learn in this workshop take you to a calm and inspired state with new depths of insight. This workshop will include lecture, standing and seated breathing exercises. Bring writing materials. (not advised if you are pregnant)Lecture and breath-based workshop– all levels

Forgiveness is perhaps the most powerful and yet forgotten tool we have for healing ourselves. To forgive another heals oneself, just as anger toward another poisons oneself. Anger and resentment destroy our lives. For the body to heal, often times what is most vital is to heal the broken heart or spirit. Failure to forgive affects our stress level, power to heal the body, discernment, and all of our relationships. The first part of this seminar is a powerful lecture on forgiving others; the second part will address forgiving oneself. Max has taken the message of forgiveness around the world to a people of many faiths and nationalities.
This seminar includes:
· Lecture and writing
· Visualizations
· Simple breathing exercises. · Questions and answersAll levels – lecture & writing
