Powerful Breath Journey
What is Active Breathwork?
This style of breathwork is an active meditation that helps you shift your state. This practice moves a lot of energy through your body and can offer huge emotional release as well as deep healing. Other benefits include improved immune system response, improved lung capacity and elasticity and improved nervous system regulation. We work with a three part breath; two inhales followed by an exhale all through the mouth. This practice is done lying down to allow you to fully relax your body. An eye pillow is highly recommended so you can drop into your body and be fully present with whatever comes to the surface. This style of breath work is done with music to help you find the rhythm of your breath and go on a transformative journey. I experienced this powerful practice in Panama whilst on a retreat. Having initially been a little cynical, I was quickly pulled into an intense physical and emotional journey which left me with feelings of what I can only describe as complete bliss. I had to know more about the science and the human response and so I trained to become an active breathwork facilitator with two very inspiring teachers Ally Maz and George Ramsay. I can’t wait to share this with you. Follow your curiosity and welcome a new experience from an ancient practice.

What People Are Saying about my Active Breathwork Classes
“‘I just couldn’t believe how powerful & transformative it was. I wasn’t anticipating it to be so impactful.
I’ve not been happy for a long time with deep deep buried emotions. Since being in your class it felt like a veil had been lifted from my eyes. The way I would describe it is like having a cataract being removed. The world looks different and I feel so different. I’ve been smiling ever since Sunday even through the bad things. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this experience. I’ve been raving about it to everyone.’”
“‘I don’t quite have the words yet but I know I’ll keep doing active breath work now (with you). For months I’ve had pain in my shoulder which has caused pain in my wrist and I haven’t been able to put weight on it (or do yoga unless I use my fist) and this morning the pain from my shoulder is gone and my wrist has eased a bit! I think it was months of feeding and carrying and stress after a difficult year all just knotted up in my shoulders and the breathing must have shifted stuff along. I’m amazed. My mind is clearer too and I’m just so grateful to you for sharing.’”
“‘I was nervous going into the class as it seemed like quite a vulnerable thing to do in a group but I think that’s where the power lies. Letting go as a big group and feeling the energy of everyone else was part of the magic! I found it incredibly meditative and I felt completely present in my body whilst feeling the energy shift around and out of my body.
I experienced everything from tears, sadness, anger to euphoria and immense gratitude. I can’t wait to incorporate this into my life and have a monthly clear out with you.’”
