Questions
What are the politics of our breath?
How we can engage with a practice (possibly one that is unfamiliar) and respect the structure or task at hand while maintaining personal expression and connection to others?
Jolyjanes practice explores the profound role of breath in connecting body, emotions, and social relationships, with a focus on intuitive, non-controlled breathing as a way of enhancing both personal and collective awareness.
WHAT IS THE CONNECTION BETWEEN BREATH, EMOTIONS AND HUMAN INTERACTION?
Breath as Agency
The breath has its own agency or ability to affect and shape experiences. The idea is that through training and practice, we can shift from trying to control our breath to allowing it to flow naturally, which in turn helps us connect with deeper emotions and our physical body.
