Breathing between 5 - 6 breaths per minute helps to synchronise your heart and blood pressure, strengthening the vagus nerve, thus supporting the parasympathetic nervous system (rest & digest).Diaphragmatic breathing (down into the belly) gently massages your internal organs, aiding digestion, liver function, thus promoting blood circulation and fluid flow.Breathwork aids restful sleep by activating your parasympathetic nervous system (rest & digest), which slows your heart rate, lowers blood pressure, and reduces stress hormones (cortisol, adrenaline, norepinephrine).Nasal breathing filters out toxins, reduces stress and releases nitric oxide which widens blood vessels and aids oxygen absorption to every cell in your body.
Supercharge your physical, mental and emotional health by learning to use your breath as an energetic pathway into your body/mind, live with presence, recognise addictive patterns of behaviour, their roots, initiate change from within, build resilience as you learn to become comfortable with the uncomfortable, and truly become the creator of your own life, one breath at a time.
Breathwork can be the most spiritual of practices, and yet it is also pure science. It is physics, chemistry, biology, it is both our vulnerability and our power.A simple, not always easy way, that is both gentle and fierce.
"The greatest gift you have as a human being is simply to feel, all of life."

After the session I felt a lot calmer and happier.”“It was so beautiful, powerful and relaxing all at the same time. I loved it!”“Positive: affirming, empowering, uplifting”“Coming out of the exercise I was in a really nice relaxed mind set whilst feeling really physically powerful which was a great combination.”“The session was very healing, liberating and eye opening to bottled up anxiety.”“I felt wonderful and stress free, my mind felt clear, release of fear and anxiety. Felt like I had grown, could not identify how, but amazing feeling of positivity.”“This was a wonderful experience of simultaneous connection and departure.”“I found it very powerful and effective. More than I expected. It was both calming and meditative as well as intense and active at the same time. I was left feeling cleansed and exhausted from my breath work and with a warm hum of satisfaction from the work I had done on myself.”
