About the course: Access hidden potential

We all breathe but very few people realise how breathing well can transform almost every aspect of life. There are simple breathing principles that can help with stress, anxiety, sleep, confidence and so much more. Best of all, you can practice anywhere and it only takes a few minutes a day to see amazing results.
 
My aim with this course is to equip you with the ideas and practices to make your breath a powerful tool that helps you live your best life!
 

What you will learn:

✅ To use your breath to reduce stress and enjoy life!

✅ To exercise more efficiently so you can live with energy

✅ To strengthen your concentration and self-confidence

✅ How the breath can help you understand your place in the universe

This course gives you access to 6 pre-recorded sessions, to be watched over 6 weeks. Each session, we will breathe together so you can experience for yourself the benefits of these principles. We will explore the science of WHY breath practices are so powerful. As you deepen your understanding of your breath, be empowered to transform these practices into a way of living that helps you live life to the fullest.

Week 1
Simple Principles for
Powerful Breathing

You breathe around 20,000 times a day, those breaths have a profound impact on your mind and body. You’ll learn the simple yet powerful principles of ‘functional breathing’ - how to breathe so that you function at your best.

Week 2
The Art of Holding Your Breath


Take a "deep breath" is common advice for stress. And yet, I will share with you why in fact it is precisely the WRONG thing to do. Instead we will explore the healing art of holding your breath.

Week 3
Breathe and
Understand Yourself

Many, many cultures around the world believed the breath had a spiritual dimension: to understand the breath meant to understand yourself. We’ll explore how this could be the case...

Week 4
Find Freedom
through the Breath

Placing your awareness on your breath is like putting your mind in neutral. You’re not going anywhere dangerous. We’ll explore how you can use your breath to find freedom even in the most challenging situations. We’ll also explore an ancient Daoist breathing practice called “True Breathing”.

Week 5
How to Relax on Demand

5 weeks in, the breath is becoming a powerful tool to help you ‘relax on demand'.
I’ll share more examples of when you can use the breath to help you in everyday life. We’ll also get deeper with Daoist “True Breathing”.

Week 6
Eat Well = Breathe Well?


In our final session, I share the fascinating story of how what we eat affects how we breathe.

And, how a simple change to your diet can transform your health.

Qi Gong

Become flexible: physically and mentally

One of our basic needs is to move. Every course involves movement, often Qi Gong from ancient China. As we open up our bodies, we open our minds and raise our energy!

Meditation

Develop calm clarity.

Meditation is the core practice to help us live with freedom. As we still the mind, we gain clarity as to who we are really. We naturally become more compassionate to ourselves and others.

Play

Personal growth the playful way 💪✨

We can be sincere without being serious. In all the courses, I’ll invite us to be silly together, to smile at the parts of ourselves that we may normally dislike. Be surprised at play’s transformative power.
