Breathwork Detox
Phil Dugas, Certified Breath Detox Facilitator, has been working on his spiritual growth for many years. He learned the importance of keeping his vibrations high. He has brought this concept by using Sound Bath bowls (also offered through NKA). His latest approach is Breathwork Detox. This is a powerful guided breath practice that can help participants clear old beliefs that are keeping them in a low vibration. This will help clear issues that are in the tissues. Bring your mat, sitting is okay, but lying is optimal.

Sound Bath Music Bowls
