How To Breathe
I believe the breath and the subtle body are the gateways to intuition, truth and our inner compass
Would you like to learn how to breathe fully?
Not many of us are taught how to breathe and a lot of us breathe incorrectlly, shallow, through our mouth without utilising the fullness of our diaphragm.
There are many advantages to being able to breathe fully: reduced stress and lowered cortisol levels, improved sleep, a calmer and clearer mind, more oxygen and increased red blood cells in our bodies, more space and openness around our chest and rib cage and a better ability to perform in our everyday hobbies and sports to name but a few.
I have had a meditation and pranayama practice for over 17 years and have put together a progressive course to teach you how to breathe better and to cultivate your own breathing practices that you can learn at home.

The Pranayama Course
In the course you will learn the anatomy of how we breathe to better understand and visualise what we are doing when we breathe and how this affects the body and nervous system.
You will learn how to breathe into the different areas of the body to control and direct your breath so you have more awareness of these movements.
Gradually building from this you will learn Ujayi, Viloma Pranayama and the initial Ashtanga Yoga Pranayamas with kumbhaka ( breath retentions ) and Nadi Shodhana.
All of these styles of breathing practices complement each other in a progressive way so you are never doing too much and learning how to breathe more fully and deeply.
Learning how to breathe in this way you will be guided into some of the deeper aspects of Yogic practices of The Subtle Bodies energy systems, Prana, and the concept of Bandha and energy centers within the body through visualisations.
