Some Doors Open Only from the Inside - The Healing Power of Transformational Breath Work - 2:45PM - 4:45PM | $45:
A special session of standing and sitting breathing exercises. The voice of our intuition and wisdom is commonly drowned out by the noise in our mind.

The practices you will learn in this workshop will take you to new depths and inspire you for weeks to come. Max has taken this work around the world to people of many faiths and nationalities.
