This Beautiful Breath

21/10/2026

Learning to breathe well, is like learning anything else. We practice. Moving the breath down to the belly so the diaphragm is doing the work and stretching the intercostals (those muscles between the ribs) so the rib cage can expand to accommodate the lungs.

Come and join us at Mundus in Rye, every Thursday from 11:30am. Learn to breathe well. You will notice the benefits from your very first session.

Bookings via the Mundus website.

See you on Thursday.

I'm collaborating with to bring together the beautiful, soft, heart-opening medicine of cacao with the gentle power of breathwork.

As a woman walking through the world, I often find myself armoured up and in a defensive state, in a place of physical contraction. If you've breathed with me before, you'll know I speak to this physical tension all the time.

Sometimes it's necessary to be in a protective state in order to be safe and to protect my energy and my integrity. This means that it's also necessary to give myself an opportunity to release that contraction and to let the tension leave my body.
Cacao and breathwork combine to support this release in such a beautiful way - the quiet power of heart opening cacao and the gentle insistence of the breath - combined to invite you into release and presence.

Come and collaborate with us, be in community and connection and be held as you give yourself permission to soften.

Online: Friday 17th April, 6pm–8:30pm via Zoom
In person: Sunday 19th April, 3pm-7pm in the beautiful yurt at Garden of Alchemy, Isfield

For the online session you'll need your own ceremonial-grade cacao. You can buy from The Garden of Alchemy shop (along with instructions for how to make it) or from another trusted supplier.

Monthly Breathwork Immersion ✨

Join me this Sunday 29th March at 7pm for 90 minutes of breathing, landing, and simply being present.

We'll begin with an embodiment meditation, then move into 50 minutes of conscious connected breathing - breathing new life and energy into our bodies, gently pulling our focus back from the future and the plans we might be making, to join our bodies here, in the now.

No striving. No fixing. Just presence with whatever is here.

These sessions happen on the last Sunday of every month - a space to return to yourself, again and again.

Online via Zoom | £15
Book via the link below 🤍

I have 2 dance modes; overly and unnecessarily stripper-ish or like a person being repeatedly struck by lightening. I can find no middle ground 😂🙄

Regardless of which vibe I'm choosing, morning movement and some universe inspired tunes changes my mood. The movement takes me out of my ruminating mind and puts me back in my body, where I belong.

If I'm having a particularly s**t start to the day, I'll then often do a short 15 minute breath hold and mediation practice (3 x gradually increasing breath holds separated by 30 breaths - I don't hold my breath for 15 minutes!!)

If you notice your nervous system is activated first thing in the morning, give it a try.

Hit me up if you want the playlist or the breath hold practice.

Dance friends, and hope no one is watching 😂👀💃🤞

How many did you manage?

I'd heard this was a marker of your nervous system state and I had to test it. I've been obsessively testing it all week, truth be told! Once, easily. Twice, sometimes. Three times? Only when I was genuinely relaxed.

The science behind it is real. Swallowing is controlled by the vagus nerve and saliva production is driven by your parasympathetic nervous system. When you're active and focused, your sympathetic system is online. Less saliva, harder to swallow. Not a problem. Just your body doing its job.

The version of this that's been going around, frames it as something being wrong with you if you can't hit three.

I'd push back on that. It's not a verdict. It's a snapshot.

Try it now. Then take five slow breaths and try again.

Tell me in the comments, did anything change?

Join me for a deep immersion as we close out the Year of the Wood Snake 🐍

This Thursday and Sunday, we gather for our final breathwork sessions of the Wood Snake year. A space to pause, release and honour what you're setting down as we step into Horse energy.

These 90-minute sessions (15 minute breathing meditation + 50 minute breathwork + integration + optional sharing circle) aren't about forcing transformation. They're about creating space for the grief of letting go, for the exhale that comes before something new can arrive.

If you've been holding more than you need to carry into this next chapter, this is your invitation to put it down.

Online Sessions:
Thu 15th Feb, 7pm GMT / 2pm EST
Sun 15th Feb, 7pm GMT / 2pm EST
In-Person at VeryYoga Reigate Studio
Sun 15th Feb, 10:30am
