About this Event
Discover how your breath can carry you beyond stress, into expanded states of consciousness — and home to who you truly are: happy, healthy, and naturally high
We often turn to breathwork seeking a moment of calm, a gentle pause in our busy lives. And while SOMA® Breath certainly offers that beautiful stillness, its power extends far beyond mere relaxation. Imagine your brain as a sophisticated Ph*rm*cy, capable of producing its own potent cocktail of feel-good chemicals.
SOMA® Breath, with its unique blend of ancient wisdom and modern understanding, acts as a key, unlocking this incredible potential and gently guiding your body to release its natural D.O.S.E.: Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, and Endorphins. It’s an invitation to actively participate in your own well-being, harnessing the innate intelligence of your breath to nourish your mind, body, and spirit.
Think of those moments of pure joy, deep connection, or the satisfying release after physical activity. These feelings aren't random; they're often the result of these powerful neurochemicals at play. SOMA ® Breath provides a conscious and accessible way to stimulate their release, not through external substances, but through the very rhythm and depth of your breath.
It’s about understanding the intricate connection between your breath and your brain's chemistry, and learning how to intentionally influence this connection for greater emotional balance, enhanced focus, and a deeper sense of overall well-being.
This is a safe space to explore a unique blend of wellness techniques incorporating energising rhythmic breathing and gentle breath holds to bring you back home to yourself. Kate Oliver is a certified SOMA® Breath Facilitator based in Burley in Wharfedale, West Yorkshire. Sancta Bookshop Cafe is a beautiful welcoming space filled with light based in the heart of Otley.
