The Exhale Room: A Nervous System Restore Space
Hosted by RLVNT Group, https://www.rlvntgroup.com/
The Exhale Room is a wellbeing space designed to help conference attendees pause, breathe and reset throughout the day. The space invites participants into brief 5–10-minute experiences that support nervous system restoration and create space to exhale during the day.
Stop into the space between 10:15a-5:15p to reset and try the self-guided practice prompts, offering a few minutes of reset.
Join for short, guided community care practices offered at specific times throughout the day:
· 1:00p: Post-lunch gentle movement and breath (10 mins)
· 1:15p: Energizing breathwork and reset (10 mins)
· 3:15p: Mid-afternoon shakeout and breathwork (10 mins)
· 5:00p: End of the day breathwork release (10 mins)
No equipment or experience necessary. Stop in to reset the nervous system and perhaps feel a little more energized thought-out the day.
