The Exhale: Mom and Baby Series
Motherhood is such a beautiful milestone. The joy, cuddles. The LOVE.
But,
It can also be overwhelming, chaotic, and gogogogogogo.
The Exhale: Mom and Baby Drop-ins and Series are gatherings (virtually or in-person), where moms and babies come together. We slow things down, reconnect with yourself, baby, and other moms and babies.
No pressure.
Baby does not need to be “ready”
Nothing to prep.
Just you and your baby.
Each session will include:
Gentle breathwork
Baby massage
Real conversations in various topics
Community
Sometimes you will share, sometimes you will listen. Sometimes baby will sleep the whole time, or bounce on your lap happily.
There is no pressure to perform here.
It is about creating a space where you can feel supported. I look forward to meeting you and your bebe.
**Please note that this program is for Mothers and their babies from Newborn to about 8-9months (pre-crawling stage) This decision is so that Mom will be able to relax and not run after baby while in the session. Please message me for any questions hello@breathwaveswithrita.com

Group Elemental Rhythm Breathwork at Livewell MFR
What would happen if you BREATHE with intention?
In this session, you will have the opportunity to BE. Just BE.
In the moment.
In your body.
In your feelings.
In your inner truth.
During this session, we will start with light movement, to wake up the body, begin the process of loosening up stagnant energy, and break the ice.
We will then drop into our breath. I will guide you into different breathing patterns, where you can dive as deep as you want. Where you can find clarity, peace, release.
After the “work” part of this practice, you will be guided in meditation, followed by some integration time. This is a time where you can relax, reflect, journal, and just BE.
All with a personally curated playlist (and they are kickass playlists)
Afterwards, there will be an optional share, and time to connect.
You will need:
Yoga mat, water bottle, pillow, blanket, journal and pen if you wish, blindfold (I have enough for everyone)
Cost: $50 (taxes included)
Maximum 6 participants
Looking forward to breathing with you!

Rest & Release: Breathwork and Soundbath Experience
July has a way of speeding everything up. The plans, the hustle and bustle.
This session is your invitation to slow down, breathe, and check-IN.
Join Lisa and Rita for a deeply restorative experience combining guided breathwork and sound healing.
We’ll begin by gently reconnecting with the body through breath. Releasing tension, emotion, heaviness. Making space. From there, you’ll be held in the grounding frequencies of sound, allowing your nervous system to calm.
This is your opportunity to Exhale. Drop your shoulders, relax.
Come as you are.
Tired, overwhelmed, open, curious…
all of you is welcome here.
Eclosion: Yoga and Breathwork Experience
Eclosion: when the butterfly emerges from her chrysalis.
Kas (Yoga with Kas) and I are joining forces, for an evening to resurge and emerge fresh and fully formed.
Guided through gentle yet activating movement, you’ll build soft heat to encourage the shedding of your shell.
Be held, not hurried, through the transformation with breathwork that welcomes you back to your elemental rhythm. Allow for integration as we rest and reset with meditation and gentle hands on connection.
Nourish yourself through the root and rise as you bloom into this season of summer.
You will need: Yoga mat, water bottle, blanket, pillow, blindfold (I have enough for all participants)
