Kia ora!
When a good friend asks me if I want to co facilitate a weekend retreat with wood fired sauna time and a beautiful location next to the beach... how could I say no to my favourite things! Yes I will be running different breathwork sessions throughout the weekend to help upskill and provide tools for your own well being and performance.
How can we be our best self when we aren't taking time out to heal and recharge?

This will be a great opportunity to do just that and have a bit of fun.

Happy gregorian new year to everyone and wishing you all a great year ahead.

What, yes, a post!!! I have been taking a break from social media posting for quite some time.

Then to get motivated to start up again is something else again.

I guess a festival is a great excuse to get me going again.
I will be facilitating an exploratory breathwork session at the upcoming Dimension festival in Northland.
I love this space and the teachings that may emerge from it.
The translation of Te Kore is considered the Void. It aligns with what Dr Joe Dispensa talks of in his work.

What is Te Kore to you?
I would love to hear your thoughts.

More than anything I would love to see you at Dimension festival.

BREATHING WITH TECHNOLOGY​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Tracking what is happening during a SOMA breathwork session or even with individual techniques using technology can be a great way to map your progress.

The report shown is tracking my SPO2 levels (above) and pulse rate (below). SPO2 (Saturation of Peripheral Oxygen) measures the amount of oxygen your blood is carrying. More specifically it’s the ratio of oxidised hemoglobin to the total amount of hemoglobin in the blood.

When you inhale, oxygen passes through the alveoli and binds to the hemoglobin in your red blood cells to be transported through the body.

Normal SPO2 levels range from 96-99, you’ll see in the upper graph that there are 5 instances where my SPO2 levels drop, even to as low as 61. This happens after a period of rhythmic breathing when I suspend my out breath for a long period and my body goes into a ‘hypoxic’ state.

You’ll notice the length and depth of hypoxia increases with each breath hold. You’ll also notice that in the 3rd and 4th breath suspension there is a small rise and drop again. Here I have sipped a small amount of air and exhaled into suspension again. This is an ancient technique known as Nisshesha Rechaka Kumbhaka to enable a longer suspension of the out breath.

Long periods of being in hypoxia are not good for you, however intermittent hypoxia can be very beneficial for the body. In fact research recommends around 15mins a day and being below 85 SPO2.

I’ll be sharing the benefits of hypoxia in an upcoming post.

Breath is life!

Are you looking for a new YOU?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The new YOU or “higher” YOU is found when you realize you have the power to reprogram your brain however you like.

Believe it or not, we are always programming our brains.

The YOU that you are today, has come into being through years and years of programming, often unconsciously. It is the product of history, genetics, environment, and chance 🤷‍♀️

This programming governs the way we view the world, the way we act in it, how we treat ourselves and others… literally everything!

We tend to dismiss these things as beyond our control, or what we also call fate. But the reality is that we have total control over the way our mind works and the way we experience this life! 🤸

Just think of a time in the past when you have REALLY wanted something and you made it happen. You may have even had to make adjustments to your beliefs, behaviors, perspectives, etc. as perceived challenges emerged. This is YOU reprogramming in action.

Sometimes however our own limiting beliefs can hold us back. That's why I focus on the work I do with SOMA Breath, Oxygen Advantage and other integrated modalities.

If you want to tap into your manifesting powers using the power of breath to reveal a new YOU, then join me for one of my workshops or classes!

Unleash the transformative power of your breath for a healthier, happier, and more harmonious life.

Every time I have a workshop coming up or an event I say "I am excited to be a part of it" or to be doing it.
The fact is.. I really am!! I love sharing the knowledge I have gained in the area of breath from so many amazing people. Most of all seeing when people get it and their awareness grows and grows with them, and as they practice they become more and more conscious of how important functional breathing is as a part of their life. So if you haven't tried it yet the Breath Day Out, Sep 2nd, is definitely a way to experience so many modalities. If you have tried and even practice a form, you'll know there is always so much more to learn.
And guess what? yes.. yours truly is excited to be facilitating at it this year.. :) For more details and the schedule for the day
