BREATHE & MEDITATE FOUNDATIONS
Join me for this 4 part series, Breathe & Meditate, to explore the foundations of pranayama – breathing techniques – as well as meditation.
Learning how to consciously control your breath is simply life-changing. It should not be underestimated.
In this 4-week course we go on a in-depth exploration of the breath. Over the course of the 4 live sessions we’ll explore how to breathe correctly and how to use your breath to bring balance, release, ease and flow into your body, mind and spirit. You’ll discover easy and practical techniques to bring about states of wellbeing in just minutes!
We’ll look at the body – breath – mind connection, the anatomy and mechanics of breathing, the functioning of the subtle energy body, the nervous system and brain to enhance your understanding of the practices.
WHAT WILL I LEARN?
👉You’ll learn about the mechanics and anatomy of your breath so you can correct unhealthy breathing patterns with knowledge and awareness.
👉You’ll learn about your nervous system and the intricate interplay of the nervous system and your breath. You’ll learn about the different states and functions of the nervous system and how this feels in the body and affects you physiologically.
👉You’ll learn easy, practical ‘Bio-hacking’ techniques to help you release stress, tension and anxiety fast
👉You’ll learn how to use your breath to create different states within the body-mind, such as release, relax, awaken, flow, focus.
👉You’ll learn to bring yourself into a place of Presence simply by using your breath. The breath is the bridge to conscious awareness. Once the breath becomes conscious we can use this as an integral part of our meditation practice. The meditation element will include body scans, cultivating Presence and other techniques.
👉 We’ll conclude by putting all the different elements together and going on a SOMA breath journey. You’ll connect with the deep wisdom contained within the body using rhythmic breathing and breath holds to direct the vital energy contained within the breath to create elevated states and heightened awareness. You can learn more about SOMA breath here.
HOW WILL I MASTER THESE TECHNIQUES?
👉Every day you’ll be doing short practices (3-5 minutes) at home to help master and anchor these techniques into your routine so that they become go-to tools when you’re feeling out of balance – and eventually helpful allies when you wish to maintain a state of wellbeing.

TESTIMONIALS
I love the really helpful recordings and instructions from each session, I’m still using the techniques today. They’ve made a huge difference in my ability to concentrate and stay connected to my mind, body, and soul. If you’re considering this course, don’t hesitate, just go for it. It’s truly amazing what your breath can do.
Oh and the breathwork music is fantastic too!” Rosie N
” Thanks Noona for the breathwork course delivered with relaxed style, from the heart and with infectious enthusiasm. We were taught several different ways to breathe for not only a calm state but through to an energetic state which was accompanied by the theory to back it. The experience really deepened my understanding of the reasons and wonderful benefits and has armed me with a very useful tool for my wellbeing that I didn’t even know I had. It has given me a relaxed and more confident feel within myself which will be enriched with time and practise and has truly enhanced my focus for meditation. Highly recommended for anyone and everyone.” Rebecca M
“I started the homework yesterday. It’s like having a calming drug but with breathwork only. Just done the morning session before work, feel so relaxed and now have a healthy sense of perspective. Thank you.” Elizabeth B
“The breathwork is life changing!”
“Your course gave me a place where I could focus once again on looking after my needs. I NEEDED accountability in my days and your course gave me this. I have practiced many meditation breathing techniques when I was in my teens but it’s so beautiful to do with a guide/community. I needed this reconnection, which I wholeheartedly felt safe in, thank you Noona! I looked forward to every Tuesday for meditation, it gave me purpose, accountability, self-worth and meaning!” Amy S
“I felt much better after the class already! And I slept like a baby! I included the breathing and humming and meditation exercises in my daily stretching routine and feel like it is the best complement!” Stephany R
“I started to understand my breathing and what it tells about current my mind-body state much more deeply, and that made me very eager to implement more breathing in to my everyday life. I can honestly say that, thanks to you, I am doing at least 2-3 minutes of breathing every morning, and I am much more conscious of my breathing patterns and habits. I feel the benefit of these short and sweet practises; I am more calm, more present and also more drawn to do meditation practises and I find myself doing much more of those”. MP
