Breathe & Be – A Practical (and deeply relaxing!) Breathing Workshop
What we’ll be doing:
In the session you’ll explore a range of practical breathing techniques:
🌬 Anatomy & physiology – learning not only to engage the diaphragm fully for efficient oxygen exchange, but also how to employ other respiratory muscles to take a FULL breath.
πŸ•Š Extended exhales & breath holds – calming the nervous system and improving control
πŸ’¨ Pranayama – yogic techniques to easily lengthen and direct the breath
πŸ“Ώ Japa – using mala beads. Repetition to anchor the mind & connect breath with intention
🧘 Yin & Yoga Nidra – integrating the techniques in stillness
Why we’re doing it:
Breathing well benefits and supports multiple body systems:
✨ Nervous system regulation – activates β€œrest & digest” mode, helping to reduce stress
πŸ’“ Circulatory & respiratory support – improves oxygen delivery and blood flow
🌱 Immune system & overall wellbeing – gentle movement of the diaphragm and mindful breath supports health
⚑ Energy, focus & recovery – tools for managing fatigue, enhancing exercise, and improving mental clarity
🌸 Practical application – skills you can use
This is for you if you’re…
