2024 programme

Move into profound stillness through Power Yoga and Pranayama - ancient yogic breathwork.

Movement then pranayama - this is the way of the ancient, the way of awakening, the way to find strength and peace in a chaotic world.

We move with the breath, and let the breath move us. Start building strength, flexibility and vitality in the movements of yoga (lycra clothing not required). Cultivating a healthy and comfortable body enables the deep journey into the inner world. Next, we flow into the riches of yogic breathwork to clear the energetic field, cultivate a quiet mind and dissolve into powerful inner stillness.

Through this practice, you might experience peaceful joy and profound meditative states. Practices will include Kapalabhati, Nadi Shodhana and Coherence breathing.

WHAT IS HEALING?

In this talk, Jonny Bauer -- a trained and experienced somatic trauma therapist and Breathe Festival regular -- will take you through activities and practices you can use to help you understand and actively handle your emotions better. Included in the session a live demo of somatic healing in action. Understanding our feelings and what they are asking of us, and having practical ways to navigate them, is a huge part of the wellbeing puzzle. Feelings are what life is all about, getting good at them is life-changing.

It's Not Yours To Carry - Intergenerational Trauma and the way home

We think our problems are ours. We think we are stuck because we haven't found the answer yet. But what if you don't want to solve your problems, because they are meaningful to your wider family system. What if what looks like a personal problem is actually a systemic solution. Jonny is a trauma therapist and trained Family Constellator, this will be a rich and meaningful talk with activities for you, as well as a chance to see one or two constellations in action.

The work to liberate our bodies and spirits from the what society has told us to be, from patriarchy and colonialism is what we need in this moment.

We have gifted wounds. We have gifted treasure. There have been cycles of neglect, abandonment and violence and yet we have been civilised out of feeling, we have been civilised out of remembering.

We have learned how to suppress, how to stay quiet and how to numb. This disconnection and severing not only effects our ability to heal, but our ability to be fully show up in society.

We have inherited a system of oppression, a system of supremacy culture.

This breathwork is about the reclamation of space, the reclamation of life, the reclamation of freedom and inquire into our relationship to history, to our inherited oppressions, to our relationship with nature and the land and the gifted wounds inherited through intergenerational and historical trauma.

Hannah Kendaru is an Indonesian-British Breathwork Practitioner and Breathwork Trainer rooted in embodied social justice and decolonial healing.

She uses embodied approaches to healing intergenerational, historical, institutional and personal trauma.

She uses specific breathwork techniques, the conscious connected breath and embodiment to bring us back into the deep remembrance of what love, liberation and justice means. She uses the breath to remember our connection to the earth, to our lineages and ancestors; for decolonial healing and rewilding our civilised minds, bodies and spirits.

She provides two pathways to work with me: breathwork therapy with 1:1 clients online and in-person and Breathwork Education.

I am a Braethwork Facilitator Trainer on a course rooted in embodied social justice, indigenising and Embodied Decolonial Healing.

Jacqui Storm will be representing AIR School of breathwork by holding a gentle but profound rebirthing session.

Working with natural circular breathing in a relaxed and conscious manner takes you on a journey of self discovery. Your breath will lead and guide you into the hidden parts of your unconscious. The natural circular breath is safe and available for most of us. You will be guided into a state of relaxation and inner awareness, inducing a state of depth, bliss and clarity.

I love being a Breathworker in all forms and opportunities that come my way, 1-to-1 sessions, groups, workshops online and at festivals, and now teaching.

I love working with the breath as it empowers and enables anyone to get in touch with a deeper aspect of themselves, their true nature and their connections to other people. I also feel that a very important aspect of this work is that it helps us to connect to Mother Nature.

I am also a holistic back specialist. I’m accredited by Su Jok Acupuntcturis and I have a diploma in natural nutrition and yoga therapy. In my work I combine all schools, including Breathwork.

I have also recently produced the ‘Ancient Futures’ area at Boomtown Festival, as I have a passion to work with young people.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to share the power of Breathwork with children; for children to be able to regulate themselves as they navigate the many challenges that they face!

TOGETHER WE CAN ...

Join Helen Bradley- Breathwork Practitioner and Primary Teacher, and Samanta Echo -Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist and Conscious Parenting Guide, for an interactive and engaging session where we will share with you the proven tools for Resilience used on the Pathways to Resilience Programme. Play games, breathe, move, massage, tap and share as if you were a child, parent or member of staff taking part in the programme.

You will also hear about the work we do in schools, the incredible feedback we have received and our vision of how we want to roll the programme out nationwide.

“I believe this is possibly the most important thing children / teens / adults might learn for their life. Please make it available to everyone! In my children and as an adult (myself and friends) anxiety and dysregulation has encountered us in various times, knowing how to deal with it is life-saving and life-confirming.” Parent, East Hampshire, November 2023

Anyone interested in sharing Breathwork and tools for Resilience with children, whether in schools or with children in your family, will find this session insightful and inspiring. We hope to see you there.

TOGETHER WE CAN empower children from all walks of life.

In 2019 I met Nicola Price of Inspirational Breathing; she placed her hands on my body and showed me how to breathe. Taking that first full diaphragmatic breath was one of the most transformational and liberating experiences I have ever had. Shortly after, I completed Nicola’s foundation course and that changed me forever. Having been a primary teacher for 18 years that week shone a light on a new path; I had found a new purpose and passion, and went on to complete the Graduate programme becoming a certified Breathwork Practitioner in 2021. Since then I have taken a deep dive into all things breath; avidly reading and researching as well as completing training with BreathWork Africa, becoming a practitioner in Reiki and Therapeutic Face Massage, and a Mental Health First Aider.

I work with clients 1:1 and in groups and love sharing this wonderful work, guiding them through Functional breathing and Conscious Connected Breathwork techniques. As a teacher and a parent it struck me that it would be hugely beneficial if children were taught this effective and accessible tool to help them regulate and, in turn, become more resilient.

In 2022, I met Samanta Echo, a Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist and Conscious Parenting Guide. With our shared passion for building resilience in children we created a CIC ‘Pathways to Resilience’. We now deliver programmes rooted in Breathwork to children aged 8 - 16 as well as workshops to parents and training days to school staff. We have secured government funding allowing us to reach more children in our area of Hampshire.

Our aim is to deliver training to facilitators and volunteers with a vision to roll out the programme nationwide. What better way to spread the word than at a festival full of Breathworkers!

Your gift to their future: Together we can create the best possible future for all of life.

This workshop is a profound exploration into what it is to be a Good Ancestor and what the Best Possible future could look like for us all.

Using expressive movement we will travel to the future to meet our descendants, who will share with us the gifts that they have inherited from us. We will celebrate what we did and who we are that made their best possible future possible.

Those gifts will then be brought back to the present and through the living ceremony that is our breath, we will breathe into the truth of all that you learned from the dance.

We will be using a gentle, conscious connected breath from the rebirthing tradition.

This workshop is based on the Deep Time work of Joanna Macy and Susannah Darling Kahn of Movement medicine, this workshop reminds us that what we do today impacts those that come after us. It reminds us that if we turn towards the breath, a life-sustaining society will last for generations to come. It encourages us to think beyond immediate concerns and consider the long-term consequences of our actions.

This workshop is one of remembering that our innate essence is a gift to the future.

I’m Jax, a Counsellor, Guide, Breathwork and Chakra dancing facilitator, Creator of everyday magical ceremony and mother. My work moves people from stuck patterns, fear and anxiety to serenity and peace by guiding them back to themselves.

My most profound realisation in the last few years has been the living ceremony that is always happening within our bodies, our breath.

I facilitate a conscious, connected breath from the rebirthing tradition.

Your breath is a loving gateway to you gently experiencing all that you are, enabling you to heal and integrate trauma, so that you can remember your magnificence.

Having worked for many years as a Counsellor I continue to be amazed at the speed of transformation in my clients when they combine the power of the breath with traditional counselling.

If you are ready - to change, move through stuck patterns, heal and integrate trauma or just to create more peace and serenity. Then I’m looking forward to walking alongside you.

I offer 121s and groups both online and in person.

Breath is life, the thread between body and consciousness and it is our human life force. It happens for us automatically whether we are conscious of it or not. It is the most accessible wellness tool for every-body. In choosing to be conscious of our breath and how we are breathing we open a gateway to new possibilities of health, vitality and the power to have greater navigational control in our lives.

Regular practice will lead you to a deeper relationship with yourself and the natural life force within and all around us. Knowing when to apply which breath in specific situations will bring you confidence, resilience and calm in your everyday, giving you a new level of self-regulation and control.

Come and open yourself to the power of the breath and its ability to bring you pleasure and creativity. You will access the wisdom of your body in its entirety and find the ON switch for your juicy flow state at will.

Using your breath intentionally with powerful visualisation and somatic movement has the capacity to activate sensations of BLISS throughout your entire system. These sensations range from seismic and orgasmic to subtle and sublime.

Whilst you use the breath to regulate your nervous system, you create a state of deep self-connection and have the opportunity to focus on the transformative Eros energy which has often been suppressed, shamed, hidden or lost.

Eros energy is your basic life-force which arises from the pelvis and core of your body. This energy can be erotic but in essence it is a long forgotten power that gives you vitality.

Natasha will weave a fire breath with conscious connected breathing and visualisations to connect you to your fullest expression of the breath and your sacred divinity taking you on a journey through your glorious pleasure body.

Description coming soon

Research shows that people feel more trusting, empathic and closer following a deep gaze. “We think silence between people means nothing is happening, when something profound is happening: PRESENCE”

The mother / newborn gaze can be an example of the divine love energy that began with our first gaze. Eye gazing is a reflection of this divine energy.

Gazing into the eyes of another, without words for 60 minutes can be a profoundly powerful way to connect and understand yourself, transporting yourself into a deeper state of consciousness.

Come and experience this wordless communication…

Cate is an Accredited counsellor/psychotherapist with the BACP, equine facilitated psychotherapist and a clinical supervisor. One of Cate's interests in rebirthing breathwork is how it relates to body/muscle trauma memory and the role of the breath in safely facilitating release.

Chakra Yoga

This morning class begins with pranayama breathing techniques to open our connection to specific chakras. We then explore healing movement to reawaken our energy centres. Through the class, we also explore the use of affirmations in order to bring about healing, as well as revitalising static postures.

The session offers opportunities to balance our chakras, enabling our true level of energy to flow, as well as heal chakra wounds such as guilt, fear and inactivity. Each class begins with grounding and flow practices for the first and second chakras, and over the course of the four mornings we will also explore one or two other chakras in sequence, i.e. first, second, third; first, second, fourth; first, second, fifth; first, second, sixth & seventh.

Together we can find our ground, tune into our flow, feel our power amid the presence of others and shine collectively.

Write, Breathe, Feel

This workshop offers a combination of breathing practices, curated journaling prompts and guided visualisations, providing the ideal experience for healing and integration. These beautiful modalities enable participants to melt tension, release negative patterns, heal emotional wounds, and receive insight.

The session starts with a gentle breathing practice to generate calm and focus. This enables participants to shed ‘mental armour’ and move into a creative state. At this point, participants are guided through a series of journal prompts designed to reorder scattered thinking. Each prompt is curated to bring about clarity and healing around a certain situation and provide a powerful experience of being centred around love and truth. Finally, participants can enjoy a guided visualisation to integrate their experiences, followed by a final round of journaling.

Together we can find the freedom to live and express ourselves according to our authentic nature.

Please note that participants will be required to bring a notebook and pen for this session.

I currently work as a trauma-informed breathwork facilitator, chakra yoga teacher, life coach and NLP practitioner, running Write, Breathe, Feel workshops both in person and online, as well as working one-to-one with creative souls, writers and practitioners who want to live a free, expressive life that’s aligned with their true self.

I have lectured on numerous subjects, including public speaking, creativity, voice, and overcoming the inner critic, for Creative Writing programs at UEA, Oxford, Birkbeck and City University, among others.

I write a regular blog on Substack called Wild Muse that explores how we can deepen our relationship with nature to receive wisdom and guidance, and the ways in which the natural world can offer healing.

For the Breathe Festival this year, Steph Magenta will take you on a shamanic ceremonial breathwork experience, using her own music produced by Medicine Musician and Sound Engineer, Charlie Roscoe.

When we think of ourselves in terms of the 'hive mind', taking our example from the ways that bees, ants and many other species work, we are stronger!

Working with the theme this year ‘Together We Can’ - Steph will first explore our connection to our inner landscapes (interoception), then shifting towards our connection to the greater community (exteroception) as a fundamental aspect of our healing work. Healing is not meant to be done in isolation, though integration can be.

We will start this workshop by using some gentle movement (all bodies and abilities welcome) and sound, used in order to open up the pathways to authentic expression. We will take this opening into our practice to explore our greater potential for integral ways of living and being.

Note: Prepare for an immersive experience. We will be using drums and rattles alongside the music in this session as a way to shift and move energy with intention.

Steph Magenta is a breathwork facilitator and teacher, shamanic practitioner and advanced Oxygen Advantage Facilitator. She is the founder of Seven Directions® Breathwork Training Program, certified by the GPBA (Global Professional Breathwork Alliance). She is a Shift Network Summit Host and Faculty member.

Steph places great importance on the integration aspect of any somatic practices which have the potential to elicit significant change or breakthrough for the person experiencing the work. Her background in substance misuse and addiction research led her to over three decades of work in health and wellbeing, from running her own juice bars and plant based cafes to establishing healing centres and the creation of own breathwork training programs. She is passionate about healing through a ‘bottom-up’ embodied somatic route, which informs her grounded, heart centred and trauma aware approach to the practice of breathwork.

She is a double award nominated advocate of sexual freedom and agency, and has trained in Dr Betty Martin's Wheel of Consent.)

On a personal level, Steph has worked extensively with plant medicines, embodiment therapies and talk therapies to change her life, and having transformed her own suffering into her superpowers, she is now happy to take her place as a wise elder in her communities.

She is an advocate of cold exposure & heat therapy, clean eating/detox protocols, sleep hygiene, core strength training, breath awareness, TRE (tension and trauma release practice) and nervous system regulation as multiple routes to sustaining ongoing health and wellness.

Warm Water Rebirthing

Is your birth still affecting you today?

Explore the journey of birth in a safe and nurturing space through the transformational power of conscious connected breathing.

There is something we all have in common – we have all been born into this world, and what a miracle that is! Just as a seed contains the blueprint for the life of a plant, the creation story of a human has a profound influence on our life. There is a biological matrix of emotional, physical and energetic imprints and patterns that can often be traced back to your emergence into this world and even before this moment. Some patterns we are healing are often intergenerational, stretching back to before we were born.

But most of us have not considered our birth much, even though it was probably the most significant moment in our life so far! Understanding your birth can reveal a whole lot about us as well as providing a great framework for releasing old patterns, healing and personal growth.

In this workshop we will share what we know of our own birth stories; gain insights into common birth experiences that determine how we see ourselves and others; see how past unconscious impressions are still affecting every area of our lives……. as we bring ourselves into the rebirthing energy field and breathe with the intention of taking ourselves to our first breath……

SIGN UP ONLY - limited spaces available. Please email me.

Find your Parts through Breath

Together we bring Regulation.

“We come into the world wired for connection.” Deb Dana

Our biological need for connection is always there with us, with each breath we take. Our nervous system is also always looking and longing for safety. Safety is not something we can mindset out way into. Safety is something we co-create internally, in our environment and with others. Safety is a body knowing of ok-ness.

In this workshop, I invite you to come on an exploration into how we can co-create safety together and also within ourselves. We will explore with curiosity and gentleness somatic practices to guide you to feel more at home in your body, environment and with others, as they are always interconnected.

Through our understanding of our nervous system and physiology, we can hear the call of Safety and Connection.

In the time together we will explore with compassion and somatically:

- What are your autonomic responses

- What safety and danger feel like in your body

- Exploring pleasant sensations of safety

- How to use self-touch to create internal safety

- Expand your capacity for goodness and safety

- How to follow your impulses for choosing what’s needed in moment to moment exploration.

- Building trust in your body.

In this workshop, my intention for us is to find out what safety feels in our body and how we can move from patterns of protections into expansion of connection.

Embodied safety through the Nervous system and Trauma Repair

Empowering women to transform the impact of trauma into strength and resilience, Teodora Pile is a somatic trauma coach and mind-body specialist dedicated to guiding individuals towards a path of healing and self-discovery. Through an unique approach of integrating trauma resolution tools, nervous system regulation, and embodied consciousness, she supports clients unlocking from the negative patterns of anxiety, pain, and fatigue, and fostering a sense of authenticity and connection to self.

‘‘I have seen and learned from their own experience that the experiences of the past do not remain in the past (until we see them and integrate them in a healthy way) and that it is possible to remain connected to our body when the emotions become too overwhelming.

I believe this is possible for you too: to create a safer relationship with yourself, and to learn to process and integrate emotions. Because, the more you express what you really want, the more you become aligned to your values and your authentic Self that is there, underneath the layers of stress and trauma, waiting to emerge.

I want to be here and for you to facilitate your journey back to your authenticity. ‘‘

Description comming soon

Silent Resonance is a system where we use breath, music and human connection to release stuck, heavy energies from the body to create freedom and liberation within.

During the breathwork you will receive energetic healing and body work to allow the body to shift and move so that you may find harmony within.

Immerse yourself in the power of breath and explore the depths of your being. Throughout this experience, you will tap into your inner wisdom and release any stagnant energy. This transformative practice will help you find clarity, release stress, and unlock your true potential.

During this immersive experience, you will be guided by Pom Tutt who will create a safe and supportive space for your journey. The atmosphere will be serene and peaceful, allowing you to fully surrender and embrace the healing power of breath.

Whether you are new to breathwork or have previous experience, this event is open to all. No prior knowledge or skills are required. Just come with an open mind, an open heart and a willingness to connect and explore.

Join me on this deep journey within working with the power of our Breath to access altered states of consciousness and dive deep into your breath and discover the silent resonance within you.

You may experience healing and integration of your physical and emotional bodies, creating space within the nervous system to remember who we truly are as whole beings.

As we breathe in a connected way, we come into our own rhythm, we access our bodies own innate healing power. Our body remembers what our mind forgets. Our body holds on to past memories, emotions and trauma. When we breathe deep and connected we give ourselves permission to release these suppressed energies from our body, we are able to let go and dissolve all that is no longer ours to hold any more.

And when we do so, we create spaciousness and freedom from within.

This is a personal healing journey.

In the wake of personal tragedy following the sudden loss of my father, I embarked on a transformative journey that would not only redefine my own path but also ignite a passion to facilitate healing in others. The profound impact of that loss, marked by an initial inability to feel, propelled me deeper into the realms of breathwork and somatics as therapy. It became a journey back to feeling, a journey to reclaim the connection with my body and, ultimately, with my true self.

With a career that spans over two decades, my holistic approach to love, life, health and business has gained me a reputation as the go to coach for souls and seekers to dissolve the inner blocks that keep them stuck in stress, anxiety and depression to ease, presence and authentic self expression.

As a sought-after breathwork therapist and somatic coach, I have dedicated this phase of my life and career to helping individuals navigate their own paths to healing. My approach is deeply rooted in the belief that within every person lies an innate ability to self-regulate their nervous system and heal from the traumas that tether them to the past. Through my work, I aim to unlock this potential, guiding clients to release unexpressed emotions and energies that hold them back and embrace the fullness of life.

My methods are grounded in a holistic understanding of the human experience, blending ancient practices with modern psychological and scientific insights. By fostering a safe and nurturing environment, I facilitate deep, transformative experiences that enable individuals to access and process underlying emotions, ultimately leading them toward profound personal growth and liberation from trauma.

The journey that began in the aftermath of my father's death has evolved into a life's mission: to empower others to find their way back to themselves, just as I did. Through breathwork and somatic practices, I witness the remarkable resilience of the human spirit and the capacity for renewal. It is an honour to accompany my clients on their journeys, offering tools and support as they uncover the strength and wisdom that lie within.

In this sacred space of healing and discovery, we journey together towards greater self-awareness, peace, and fulfilment. My commitment is to continue exploring the depths of human potential, always learning, growing, and expanding the ways in which I can contribute to the healing of others. This is not just my profession; it is my calling, my heart's work, and the legacy I aspire to build in memory of my father.

Inner Sense offers a transformative and immersive two-hour experience that integrates movement, breath, sound, and sensory exploration. We start by inviting you to slow down and establish a connection with your body, acknowledging and releasing any tensions present. Through embodied, intuitive movement, our guidance helps you attune your senses to the language of your body, shifting your focus away from the mind and into a deeper sense of self-awareness.

This leads into a one-hour Conscious Connected Breathwork Journey, accompanied by the resonant vibrations of gongs, instruments, and crystal bowls. These powerful tools stimulate energy flow, facilitate release, and foster connection within you. With the comforting sounds and soothing scents that follow, we aim to support you in fully relaxing and grounding yourself at the end of the journey.

The essence of "we are stronger together" reflects the healing power of community. When we gather on the mat and breathe as one, we tap into the core of our shared humanity. Recognising that each individual's unique journey adds richness and wisdom to the collective tapestry, we honour and witness each other's paths. This intention will guide our facilitation, using words to guidance throughout the journey to deepen our connection to the collective and receive the richness our shared wisdom offers and witness the medicine that forms from this collective connection.

I would like to offer morning Qigong sessions to start the day at the festival outside in the fresh air. Offering a space for us to come together to be barefoot on the earth, held in the support, wisdom and beauty of the tree circle.

Qi Gong is a form of breath-work, designed to balance our nervous systems. Qi can be translated as the breath and Gong means to work. The foundation of Qi Gong breathing is shun hu xi or “natural respiration” which translates as “free flowing, going with natures current.” In this morning practice we will slow down together, and come in to alignment with our-selves and our-cells, our bodies and our breath. From this place of ease and openness we can step into a deeper connection with the world around us, with the soil beneath our feet, the breeze on our skin, the sounds of bird song. Where we can begin to recognise, to feel, to smell our essential nature of inter-beingness intimately connected to all of life.

I will guide mostly in silence allowing the brain to relax and the body to just follow. When our left brain is switched off there is more space for the unknown to be present allowing us to make a shift out of our ordinary awareness into a deeper place of connection and presence. Connecting to the Tao, the universe, the source, to the NOW moment and everything within it.

Abundant, universal, healing qi.

It is yours.

I have been practicing Qigong for over 17 years, it has been a huge part of my journey of self discovery, gently guiding me in the power of the breath, movement and presence.

My practice has lead me to explore energy healing for both myself and for others through bodywork and now breathwork. Qigong is my foundation practice a place I always come back to a gift I would like to share with others.

My teaching is greatly inspired by the earth energies that surround us, our connection to heaven and earth and all the elements of life..

Discover the transformative power of gentle somatic breathwork with Rebecca Dennis, the visionary behind Breathing Tree. In her unique approach, Rebecca offers a gentle yet profound journey that reconnects you to the innate language of your nervous system and breath, guiding you back to the sacred temple of your body and whole being.

Through the practice of presence and breath awareness, we embark on a grounded exploration of our sensations, emotions, and responses. But first and foremost, we prioritise regulation and safety, creating a nurturing container that allows for slow and steady integration. By learning to use the breath as an anchor, you cultivate a safe and stable space within yourself.

When we find ourselves firmly anchored in our body, mind, and soul, we experience a profound sense of safety and support. This enables us to venture forth without drifting or becoming overwhelmed. By regulating our nervous system, we establish a foundation of stability, providing us with enough flexibility to adapt to the ever-changing winds of life’s stories.

While emotional release is undoubtedly healing, true healing occurs not through forceful pushing, but rather through creating a safe and trusting environment. It takes time, sometimes years, to access the deep pockets of our subconscious where unresolved wounds and stories may reside. Not every part of us is ready for healing, and it is essential to honour the innate intelligence of our body and the healing process. After all, the subconscious body has faithfully protected us throughout our entire life. Anchored in safety, we can gently surrender, explore, and integrate our own unique healing journey.

Each of us has encountered mental, emotional, or physical traumas to varying degrees, and these experiences can constrict our breath and limit our capacity for full embodiment. The resulting armour and tension can persist and manifest in our bodies and minds over time. Trauma leaves an imprint on our physiology and psychology, affecting our brain, muscles, fascia, and nervous system etc. It can create a profound sense of disconnection and discomfort.

In this healing space with Rebecca and her team, we delve deep into the wisdom held within our subconscious body. We softly listen to the stories it carries, making small and possibly big breakthroughs and beginning to make peace with all aspects of ourselves. Along this healing journey, we discover invaluable tools and supportive guidance to continue the journey of self-discovery and transformation.

Rebecca Dennis, author, international breathwork and body therapist and workshop leader is the founder of www.breathingtree.co.uk.

Based out of London and also travelling and teaching internationally as an expert in Breathwork and body-based therapies. She facilitates workshops, events and retreats alongside her public speaking and in person work and will be opening her Breathing Tree Training School in January 2025. A public speaker and coach, her expertise and passion centres around breathwork, trauma therapy work, somatic healing and nervous system regulation. Rebecca fervently believes that embodied breathwork is the ultimate key to our well-being, health and inner peace.

Rebecca has been practicing holistic and alternative therapies for over 20 years and holds a Diploma in Anatomy & an ITEC Diploma in Swedish and Sports Massage. She has trained to co-trainer level with Founder of Transformational Breath, Judith Kravitz as well as Donna Fahri, Max Strom and other masters and influential teachers of breathwork, bodywork, and other healing modalities. Rebecca has written three books, her latest books Let It Go and Breathe – A Practical Guide To Breathwork were featured in Amazon and Sunday Times Best Sellers.

On her journey with holistic practices, she also has qualified in coaching, deep tissue massage, trauma therapy, acupressure, somatic bodywork, mindfulness, reiki, shiatsu and shamanic healing traditions from indigenous tribes and elders.

She is continually learning and inspired by the simple power of our breath and how it can change lives including her own. Rebecca is on a mission to teach as many people as possible how to empower their lives and improve their physical and mental wellbeing with conscious breathing techniques and somatic bodywork.

Breath is a powerful tool we can harness to regulate the nervous system, release stress and tension in the body, and enter a deep state of calm and presence. When we combine breath and posture it allows us to quiet our minds and open our hearts, expanding our energetic field, and accepting ourselves completely as we are. Some breaths will be energetic, some incredibly soft and gentle. Both will allow us to experience complete stillness.

Working with the science of these divine ancient practices, can significantly reduce anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviours, creating a profound sense of balance within the self. There is an ever-expanding body of research that supports the benefits of yoga, breathwork and meditation in improving and maintaining overall mental and physical health.

One of the many beautiful aspects of working with yoga and the breath is that they gift us the ability to ‘self-regulate’: the state of presence we experience, removes the need to reach outside ourselves for something to soothe us. The art of these classes is to discover that you can change how you feel. Our feelings are not in our head, but in our bodies. We have autonomy, and yoga and breath can change our physical and emotional state, our hormonal flow, and ultimately how we feel and experience ourselves. Breathwork and kundalini global have personally created profound shifts and have been instrumental in my own recovery.

These classes are music led and end with the sound of the Crystal bowls which helps to bring us into a deeper state of relaxation and soothe our bodies .
