Grounding

Session Title: Grounding Techniques for Stability and Presence in Breathwork
Description:
This session explores grounding as a foundational practice within breathwork. Participants will learn techniques to cultivate physical, emotional, and energetic stability, enabling safer and more effective breathwork sessions. We will examine the role of the nervous system, introduce sensory and body-based grounding strategies, and provide practical exercises to use personally and professionally.

Breath Awareness

Session Title: The Power of Noticing: Cultivating Breath Awareness
Description:
Breath awareness is the gateway to deeper somatic and emotional intelligence. This session focuses on the subtle art of observing the breath without manipulation. Participants will explore how conscious attention to breath fosters presence, insight, and self-regulation. Practical techniques and reflective exercises will help integrate breath awareness into therapeutic, coaching, or wellness contexts.

Belly Breathing

Session Title: Returning to the Belly: Foundations of Relaxed Breathing
Description:
In this session, participants will learn the principles and practice of belly breathing, a core technique for downregulating the nervous system and enhancing parasympathetic activity. We’ll explore common barriers to belly breathing, how to support clients in reconnecting with this natural rhythm, and how it can be used as a tool for emotional and physiological balance.

Diaphragmatic Training

Session Title: Optimising Breath: Diaphragmatic Function and Training
Description:
This session offers an in-depth look at diaphragmatic breathing and its role in respiratory efficiency and emotional regulation. Participants will learn evidence-based strategies for assessing and improving diaphragmatic movement, including posture, muscle tone, and breathing mechanics. Ideal for practitioners looking to support clients in building breath capacity and functional resilience.

Neurodiversity and Cultural Elements to Breathwork

Session Title: Inclusive Breathwork: Neurodivergent and Cultural Considerations
Description:
Breathwork is not a one-size-fits-all approach. This session addresses the nuanced needs of neurodivergent individuals and the cultural contexts that shape breath and body awareness. Participants will explore inclusive language, sensory accommodations, and culturally sensitive frameworks to ensure breathwork practices honour diversity and foster psychological safety.

Language and Breathwork

Session Title: Words that Breathe: The Interplay of Language and Breathwork
Description:
How we speak about breath deeply influences how it is experienced. This session explores the linguistic aspects of guiding breathwork, from instructional clarity to the therapeutic use of metaphor and suggestion. Participants will examine how tone, pacing, and verbal cues can shape breath awareness and deepen client engagement.

Trauma-Informed Breathwork

Session Title: Safety First: A Trauma-Informed Approach to Breathwork
Description:
This session provides a comprehensive introduction to trauma-informed principles in breathwork facilitation. Participants will learn how to create safe, choice-oriented environments, recognise signs of dysregulation, and avoid common triggers. We’ll explore modifications to traditional techniques to support resilience, autonomy, and healing in trauma-impacted clients.

Movement, Somatics and Breathwork

Session Title: Breath in Motion: Integrating Somatic Movement and Breathwork
Description:
This experiential session explores the powerful relationship between movement, somatic awareness, and breath. Participants will learn how gentle movement practices can enhance breath capacity, release tension, and support emotional processing. The session will include guided exercises and frameworks for combining somatic techniques with breathwork in therapeutic or group settings.
