With breath, let's gather and honour this potent time of year. As the outward draw of the summer months begin to close, let's begin the journey back to balance. The balance of equality between the dark half and the bright half of the year. Not alone but together, this is not a time of solitude but one of abundance, gratitude, and reflection.
This session is a deep meditative practice that honours the healing power of conscious breathing, allowing us to become truly embodied and to feel again.
This is a dynamic breathing practice and may not be suitable for everyone. Please ensure you’ve read the waiver and reach out to Sophie if you’ve any questions.

Conscious Connected Breathing is a technique in which the breather intentionally connects the inhale with the exhale without any pauses. This is done either through the nose or through an open mouth. Conscious connected breathing:
Causes shifts in our physiology & allows us to explore a mild altered state of consciousness
Allows deep awareness of self, others & nature to develop
Provides the groundwork for profound personal development & insight
Breathwork offers an opportunity to visit the many aspects of our mind, body, spirit and soul with conscious intention. The breath doesn’t force change, it creates the conditions for it.
When we soften the mind’s grip and let the breath lead, the body remembers how to unwind, release, and rebalance.
Emotions move.
Old tension loosens.
Insight arrives quietly, not as something we think our way into, but something we feel our way home to.
There’s a gentle intelligence in the breath.
One that meets us exactly where we are and guides us back into ourselves.
