Drumming & Breathwork for Inner Balance
Program Description
Drumming & Breathwork for Inner Balance
Discover the powerful connection between rhythm, breath, and meditation in this unique experiential workshop that blends hand drumming, mantra meditation, and yogic breathing techniques. Designed for all levels, this session invites participants to explore how rhythm and breath work together to harmonize the body and calm the mind.
You’ll be guided through basic percussion techniques using rhythms from Mediterranean and Indian traditions while learning to synchronize those patterns with the breath. This immersive practice introduces the concept of drumming as a form of active meditation—or “flowing japa”—through a series of mindful exercises that integrate movement, sound, and stillness.
Whether you’re a beginner or experienced in yoga, music, or meditation, this workshop offers a dynamic and accessible way to deepen your spiritual practice, enhance breath awareness, and explore rhythm as a path to inner clarity and creative expression.
What You’ll Experience:
- Introductory hand drumming techniques
- Breath-linked rhythm practices
- Rhythms inspired by Indian and Mediterranean traditions
- Meditation through movement and sound
- A supportive space for creative exploration and self-awareness
The teacher is traveling without a set of workshop instruments, so we ask participants to please bring their own drum or percussion instruments, or more than one perhaps — any type is welcome. No previous experience with drumming, music, or yogic breathing is required for this workshop.
