This free event is offered as part of Bay Area Dance Week 2026.
Experience a new level of aliveness and comfort in the nurturing atmosphere of Breema. This class is down-to-earth and practical. We learn by direct experience of giving and receiving Breema bodywork and doing Self-Breema exercises, which are dynamic expressions of the Nine Principles of Harmony. As body, mind, and feelings begin to function in harmony with each other, the ways you think, feel, and move are revitalized.
No prior bodywork experience is necessary, but please be comfortable sitting and working on a padded floor. Dress comfortably and wear long pants, socks, and be fragrance-free.
10:00-11:30am Class
11:30am-12:00pm Mini-sessions for new students
