ABOUT

Urban Breath NYC uses the power of breath and moving meditation to accelerate your transformation. We aim to address the needs of busy urban dwellers by offering workshops, intensives, and private breath work for people who are struggling with cycles of being stuck and feeling numb, so they can change their lives – FAST! With the use of Biodynamic breath you will be able to drop into a meditative state while allowing this powerful therapy to ease tension, reduce stress and heal the physical and emotional bodies. Biodynamic breath meditation incorporates Bioenergetic exercises with active meditation based on the work of Osho, an enlightened Indian mystic.

“When you are saying that you are happy and you are not, there will be a disturbance in your breathing. Your breathing cannot be natural. It is impossible.”  – Osho

Our breath meditation workshops are each designed around specific themes addressing various aspects of life, such as healing heart break or connecting to a increased sense of purpose. Using movement and breath we guide you from an external “busy mind”  space to an internal quiet space of healing and meditation. This is not traditional sit down meditation!

Urban Breath NYC was founded by Monica Aparicio and Rikard Skogberg, certified Biodynamic Breath Work practitioners and graduates of Energy Of Breath Institute. And is currently run by Monica and Lisa Meta Griff, also an Breath Practitioners and Energy of Breath graduate.

Biodynamic breath as a body oriented therapy, effectively aides in healing trauma, chronic pain and tension as well as releasing and reducing stress. Because this therapy uses a very deep, guided breath it makes healing at a cellular level possible. People who do this work all report experiencing deep emotional healing and feeling more integrated and grounded in their bodies.
