You can choose to attend any or all of the sessions.

Whenever we are faced with any stressful situations, the first thing we notice is how it affects the way in which we breathe. When we are able to switch from a shallow, rapid, breath to slow diaphragmatic breathing, we bathe the nervous system and calm the mind. So called the Victorious breath because it brings peace to the conflicting forces of the mind

Classes are suitable for all abilities from total beginners to those more familiar with breath work.
 
We use a quad-ratio technique that helps cultivate a pause in the exhale and the inhale, this is a method of natural retention without forcing. From this relaxed state we can move onto the practice of Pranayama, with specific techniques that have enormous therapeutic benefits.

Lets meet each moment with openness, curiosity and kindness. 
These breathing techniques are powerful practices that modern scientific research has shown to produce impressive psychological and health benefits. Some of these are:

• Decreased cardiovascular risk factors

• Improved immune function & reduction in common inflammatory conditions

• Reduced anxiety, depression, insomnia, & menopausal symptoms

• Improved mental function

• Reduced production of stress hormones

• Emotional strength & balance

• Reduction in habitual or addictive behaviours

• Increased sense of peacefulness and compassion toward oneself & others

 

Lets evolve from an overstimulated, reactive & disconnected state, unable to know which way to turn. To a more conscious, centred, focused state of mind. 

 

Perhaps it could be your opportunity to change your reality in just a small way, to start the day feeling more positive, a little more joyful and feeling connected to others wearing their pyjamas. So please come and join me if you can, you can choose to switch off your camera so you don't even need to brush your hair!

Let’s do what we can, to spread some Presence' and shine some light.
