Breathe 4 Sport, 2 Garden Closer, East Grinstead (2026)

Jenny attended our last breathing workshop for swimmers and was amazed how helpful it was, not only to improve her breathing during swimming, but to make her aware of how she was breathing on a daily basis and how it helped her. She kindly agreed to talk about some of these benefits.

Breath training is not new, but it is not yet integrated into sports training or people’s health routines. As a functional breathing coach I know that how we breathe on a daily basis impacts our mental and physical health and definitely our sports performance.

Most people do not fully use their diaphragm, have never trained it to strengthen it, mouth breathe during physical exercise, at rest or during sleep, to name just a few things that will affect their health and performance.

I run workshops with Kath Lambert from to help swimmers of any level become aware of their breathing in and out of the pool, and how to improve it for better health and performance. We should all know this stuff and it is our mission to spread this information.

Come and join us at the next workshop:

I’m a Thermalist Instructor, trained by Dr Susanna Soeberg, a world leading scientist in contrast therapy and metabolism.

If you’ve heard a lot about the benefits of sauna and cold water immersion but haven’t tried it yet, or want to know more about the science behind these practices, this workshop is a perfect introduction.

If you are like many people and instinctively do not like the idea of cold plunging, or sweating it out in a sauna, you can come and try a very gentle introduction.

More and more people are dealing with chronic stress in their lives, and if this is not addressed, research is indicating that this is the root cause of avoidable lifestyle diseases.

This workshop is not at all about challenging yourself and seeing how far you can push it. The Thermalist Method Workshop offers a transformative journey in nervous system regulation. Designed to help you stress down and teach your body and mind how to regulate stress effectively, this experience leaves you feeling rejuvenated, centred, and empowered.

Come and experience the transformation!

To live and function optimally, we have to ensure our daily breathing patterns are optimal. The state of our breathing impacts our mental and physical health and our sports performance.

Most people are unaware of how they breathe as it is one of the body’s automatic functions. However, it is estimated that about 90% of the population have developed some elements of dysfunctional breathing, do a whole variety of reasons.

For athletes, or anyone who does sport at any level, you want efficient breathing to minimise effort during your sport. I work a lot with swimmers and triathletes, and this is even more important but also more challenging in the water.

The good news is that we can consciously train more efficient breathing habits to optimise our performance, whether you are a competitive athlete or a fitness/recreational athlete.

The bonus is that you are also working on your physical and mental health when consciously working on your breathing.

It all starts with breath awareness and tuning into your current breathing patterns.

So stop now, close your eyes if possible, and just notice how you are breathing:

➡️ where do you feel the air entering your body?
➡️ Can you hear your breathing?
➡️ can you feel your chest rising and falling?
➡️ how fast is your breathing? Can you slow it down?

If you want to know how to improve your breathing with some simple breath training techniques, you can find out more on my website.

I haven’t been in my cold pool in the garden for about a week and you forget about the amazing buzz it gives you afterwards.

My back was aching this morning, and although doing Mike R Holland’s lymphatic workout helped loosen me up a bit, that lower back ni**le was still there.

I knew the cold and focusing on slow, deep breathing in and out through the nose would sort it out, and sitting in the pool in the rain is more fun. You can shut your eyes and really tune into the rain drops landing on the water and other morning outdoor sounds. You can also focus on the cold stinging sensations on your skin from the cold 😜 - it is always cold but you get used to it!

Waking up and doing a 2 minute cold dip outside also exposes you to natural light to help set your circadian rhythm for the day.

I could have just stayed in my warm bed…but I chose exercise, nature and cold instead 🤩 Which would you choose?

Don’t be afraid of the cold!

Exposing your body to the cold can be a therapeutic tool to manage pain or discomfort (as I am doing in this instance), but it can also change your physiology in multiple ways to boost your overall physical and mental health.

About 20 years ago I discovered that cold water immersion eases what I would describe as intense aching in my legs from a congenital musculoskeletal condition. When I became a swim coach, I also trained as an open water swim coach and then got into winter swimming.

I wanted to learn more about the processes the body goes through when you expose it to the cold, and actually also what happens to the body in the heat.

Therefore, I recently certified as a Thermalist®️ Instructor with Dr Susanna Soeberg. She is a world leading scientist on contrast therapy and takes you deep into the science and how to safely introduce people to heat and cold therapy with breathing techniques.

I will soon be running Thermalist®️Method Workshops in Sussex (UK) to teach you the benefits and safe practice based on scientific research.

Everyone can overcome their fear of the cold if introduced to it in a gradual and safe way - and when you understand all the potential benefits, you will want to add this health tool to your life 🧊🔥🫁
