Breathe

Stress Free Living and
The Power of Your Breath!

The natural healing gift we all possess. Understand and experience how the breath is a key to your health & general well being. How it links the mind, emotions and physical body. Learn how to release some of the mental, physical & emotional tensions that we continually pick up living in a busy world with a deeper understanding and connection with your breath.

With breath retraining you can learn to rebalance your system & help heal yourself naturally. Unhealthy, unbalanced breathing leads to reduced levels of oxygen being released into the cells.

Hypoxia Cells

A comparison of cells showing the effects of good healthy efficient breathing (light) with more oxygen in the cells against poor over-breathing (dark) with less oxygen being released into the cells due to unhealthy breathing patterns.

Over-breathing causes something known as the Bohr effect which is the holding onto of oxygen in the blood after it has left the lungs, preventing it being released into the cells due to reduced Co2 levels, this leads to a reduction of oxygen in the cells.

Workshops & accompanied CD’s are suitable for anyone & introduce you to a range of simple, but powerful breathing exercises that can help you to retrain the breath for self healing & optimal natural health.

Learning to retrain the way we breathe in a natural healthy way by primarily using the diaphragm, allowing more space and freedom to breathe in, rather than being fearful or tense using the chest or abdominal muscles, which many people use that restricts our breathing.

The exercises can be adapted to be used anywhere at anytime to help induce peace & calm to manage emotions naturally, empowering oneself, enabling you to work through difficult challenging moments & manage any stress in your life by staying present using balanced breathing.

Let Go & Grow

An opportunity to delve deeper into who we are with a Transformational Kriya yoga breath-work practice.

In the group breath-work you are taken on a journey beyond the conscious mind to explore our unconscious patterns held in the Kundalini, to help let go of the past pain & programming that restricts us.

This process can often result in a deep experience & practitioners are advised to feel ready for a powerful process that can unlock and release suppressed emotions and feelings. Participants often report a profound sense of peace and contentment from the practice when completed.

A daily personal practice is available for committed practitioners.
