Taster Sessions --  Wellbeing Sessions 

Taster Sessions enable you to experience Capacitar Wellness Practices for yourself.

• During each experiential taster session we will explore the body-based wellness practices of Capacitar, working with the healing flow of the body using simple Tai Chi movement, breath-work visualisation, self-acupressure and energy work.
• Each of the practices enable relaxation, calm and trauma healing. 
• The practices are wonderful for self-care and for sharing with others. 
  
•  Please book through The Bield at:
