The Breath is the key to consciousness ~ and also to good health

To breathe well we need to be relaxed in body and mind, but most of us don’t breathe in a way which helps us use our body efficiently.  If we can control the breath we can control the chatter which tends to be what causes the tensions in our bodies.  

Breath & Bodywork sessons are about getting INTO our body , really being aware of it so that we can relax it.

A relaxed body system is the biggest key to good health and well-being.  Ill health, stress and numerous other factors mean that our breath tends to control us and our emotions. For example, if we are anxious our breath tends to be shallow and rapid, and it does this with no input from us – it is involuntary and largely outside of our control. But a conscious awareness of the breath allows us to learn how to control the breath, and this in turn allows us to quiet the mind, and so we can more easily control the breath ……and so it goes on ….

The general aim of Breath & Bodywork  sessions is to help people relax and still the mind, using conscious awareness of the breath as a tool.  Specific aims of the sessions would be derived from individual needs, or individual health conditions, which need to be addressed and these could include, but not be confined to, for example stress, anxiety, chronic fatigue.

The sessions are delightfully relaxing  ~ giving you the space to relax, let go, and breathe.  They include gentle flowing stretches; guided relaxation; breath observation and breath awareness exercises; body awareness exercises and breath control techniques.

No previous experience is necessary as Julie will guide you through each of the elements.

Julie  offers one to one sessions, small classes and Saturday morning workshops.
