You&#39;ll work in very small groups and we&#39;ll be considerate and respectful of personal preferences throughout. We know that&#39;s tough for some, but here&#39;s the rub - communication is something we can only get better at if we practice it out loud. We hope you&#39;ll give us a chance to show you what a difference a little support and kindness can make!</h3><h4 fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"></h4><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>

Join Me For This 8 Week Qigong and Breathwork Online Course

The way we breathe affects everything we do, everything we think and everything we feel. It affects our sleep, our digestion, our immune system, our energy levels, our emotions, our ability to think clearly and our relationships, to name but a few.
In this course we will be combining my passions of Qigong and Breathwork to help bring us into balance so we can move though Autumn into winter full of peace and vitality.
Why Qigong and Breathwork?
Qigong is breathwork (Qi is Breath), it is an amazing way of opening and clearing the body, of making space for our healthy energy to flow. It allows us to stay relaxed and receptive without forcing or pushing. It is easy to learn and naturally attuned to your individual body and how it wants to expand, release and recharge.
Breathwork is simply bringing our conscious attention to our breath and is one of the most powerful ways we have to change our state at any given moment.
