My favourite feedback that I have received over the years is that „my brain has been taken out, washed, spun, drained and put back”.

Yes,
this is how the brain may feel after breathwork.

BUT

There are a few prerequisites for that to happen.

💨 You body needs to feel SAFE in the space the practice is taking place.
If your brain and body keep scanning the room for potential danger, it won’t be able to relax and fully engage with the practice.

💨 The FACILITATOR should (and may I add, needs to) themselves be regulated and engaged with the practitioners.
Detachment, stress and dysregulated outlook will have an effect on everybody’s experience.
Co-regulation plays a massive role when we meet in the breathwork container, as a calm and collected facilitator helps to stabilise another person’s emotional state.

💨 The PACE of the practice should not be pushed on you. Rhythm, intensity - it’s up to you. Facilitator guides, doesn’t push. You should be offered options and intensity should never ever be expected.
Everyone has their own window of tolerance and it should be relayed during the practice.

💨 GROUNDING and INTEGRATION should be offered, as part of the practice. Grounding techniques can help if you feel overwhelmed during the practice so that you can return to safety. Integration is an integral part of any breathwork experience that allows to process the experience and includes time and space for quiet time, journaling, chance for a chat, a share circle. Facilitator should make themselves available immediately after the session or event days after, as things may begin to surface.

I think I tick all of the above 😉

Sounds familiar?

It does to me!

We know that movement helps, sleep and eating healthy matters, that breathing can shift our entire nervous system.

But there is a gap between knowing it and actually doing something about it.

Time to bridge that gap and take ACTION.

We have plenty of awareness and little ACTION so let’s do something about it collectively.

The put it perfectly “while awareness is vital, real change comes when we take action too”.

So this next week, join me for a daily short breathwork practice. Less than 2 minutes.

Starting on Monday at 7 am.

Sometimes you just need to remain present and breathe through it.

Even when it’s raining 🌧️

What happens if you stop trying to fix, change, or push—and simply witness?

In this session, we’ll use the rhythm of conscious connected breath to cultivate the quiet art of observation. No agenda. No destination. Just presence with whatever arises.

What to Expect
I will guide you through a continuous breathing pattern while you are lying down. The experience will be supported by a curated rhythmic music.

We will start with sharing our intensions, experience the breath and close with another share over a cuppa to close the experience.

Conscious connected breathwork helps to tap into an altered state of consciousness that can have an incredibly healing potential. This practice can bring up physical sensations like tingling or numbness, facilitate release of emotions, memories, or can bring stillness—all experiences are valid.

The theme, observe, invites you to meet all of it with curiosity rather than force. Instead of breathing toward something, you’ll practice breathing with what’s already here. This simple shift often reveals more than intensity ever could.

This session is for you if:

💨You’re drawn to self-inquiry and somatic awareness
💨You want to explore breathwork without a „push through” mentality
💨You’re curious about what emerges when you stop efforting

Practical details:

✨Wear comfortable clothing
✨Bring water and a journal/something to write in
✨Arrive 10 minutes early to settle in

No breathwork experience necessary

Spaces are limited to 15 in order to keep the group safe and intimate.

Warmly,

Ania

Some of you asked what happens during the sessions.

You lie down, let your body and mind feel how they feel in the moment.

There is no pressure to feel a certain way.

Gentle music in the background.

I guide your breath.

And perhaps you start feeling a shift.

A gentle pause.

Or perhaps everything feels exactly the same.

It’s all valid and the breath is still doing its thing.

Breathe to stillness is a slow, mindful breathwork practice with a focus on rest.

It’s made up of several different breathing techniques that help to downregulate the nervous system.

These techniques can be used outside of the class in order to help improve focus, sleep, help with anxiety, burnout, stress, fatigue and general wellbeing.

Breathwork sounds like magic and it truly is.

The right application can have a real impact on your life. Especially when practiced regularly.

The session ends with a tea and a wee snack.
We chat
We share
We sit

We learn how to be present with exactly how we are.

No hyperventilation, no big release, no pushing, no pressure

day 7 - return

*may feature adventitious sounds made by my baba*

And we have arrived on day 7.
We are returning, hopefully a little more rested than when we started on day 1.

Today, we are simply going to follow our natural breath, give ourselves some space to explore how it feels to feel the breath.

The breath - our anchor every single day.

I hope you enjoyed practicing with me and if you did I invite you to join me for a longer, in-person, practice on Friday, 30th of January at the Wellbeing Hub.
During the session, we are going to gently flow into a state of deep rest and explore our surroundings beyond the thinking mind.

See you there 🙏🏻✨

day 6 - activate

Today, we are going to move through a box breathing exercise.

It’s a great tool to have in your tool box, as it’s quite versatile.
This technique can:
✨ create a steady focused state as it balances between sympathetic (the activating) and parasympathetic (the rest and digest) nervous system
✨ increase oxygen and CO2 regulation, which may improve mental clarity
✨ enhance concentration
✨ reduce stress response.

Thank you for breathing with me!
I’ll see you tomorrow for our last day 🙏🏻✨

*although all practices in the 7-day journey are deemed to be safe for everyone, please stop the exercise or return to your normal breath if you feel uncomfortable, tight-chested, dizzy or something is off. You know your body best and let yourself be guided by its wisdom ✨

day 5 - restore

👋🏻 it’s day 5 - we are almost there

Today, we restore balance between two sides of our body with single nostril breathing.
Each nostril has a different potential and I’ll get into it on another occasion. Today, just trust the process and enjoy the journey.

Single nostril breathing:
✨(left) activates the parasympathetic nervous system
✨ can cool down the body and calm the mind
✨(right) activates the sympathetic nervous system
✨ energises the body
✨ increases alertness

See you tomorrow for day 6 🙏🏻

*although all practices in the 7-day journey are deemed to be safe for everyone, please stop the exercise or return to your normal breath if you feel uncomfortable, tight-chested, dizzy or something is off. You know your body best and let yourself be guided by its wisdom ✨
