A Journey into Felt Sense
This Special Skills Breathwork Training is led by Giten Tonkov, Founder of BioDynamic Breathwork and Trauma Release System (BBTRS®). With his singular approach to the modality, he will take you on an immersive, experiential, deep dive into the concept of Felt Sense. You will walk away with a richer sense of yourself—as well as solid tools to use in everyday life that support you in managing the level of activation and presence in your physical body.
Even for those of you who are familiar with BBTRS®, please note that this workshop has a special focus. As we apply the modality’s 6 Elements, the goal is to experience the Felt Sense—to remain present with physical sensations—while not attaching meaning to what we feel. When you’re feel in this way, then sensations lose their “charge.” They lose their connection to any emotional responses or behaviors that might have been attached to past trauma—and we become “unstuck.”
Our bodies want to let go of tension; it happens naturally in the right circumstances. We can create these circumstances by using the Felt Sense.
This workshop is intended to train you to (1) unlock the door to your Felt Sense, (2) feel without attachment, and (3) release any tension associated with each successive feeling. This gentle process allows you to go out into the world and be present in any situation, without being overwhelmed by emotions, bodily responses, or memories.
This means that your past no longer informs your automatic response to the present.
The more you practice, the more natural the Felt Sense becomes. In this special skills breathwork training, we access the Felt Sense through a targeted, creative application of each one of BBTRS®’s 6 Elements:
-Conscious, connected breathing
-Spinal unwinding movement
-Individual self-touch and group contact improvisation
-Conscious, non-cathartic, emotional expression
-Language skills
-Creative use of sound
-Meditation
When the 6 Elements are used together in this way, you learn specific techniques that lead to a new, fun relationship with your physical body.
Join us! Explore on a deeper level—and encounter yourself.
