Tracy said - "I really enjoyed the one-off workshop, I found it really interesting and helpful to have plenty of time to practice different breathing techniques. Katie has a warm teaching style that facilitated a relaxed and friendly practical session. Personally, I now regularly use some of the night-time breathing techniques to help me relax – often falling asleep as I practice which is perfect! Thanks Katie"
Katie's Yoga Breathing Workshops
4-week workshop
Start with the FREE introductory video to discover more about what the 4-week workshop will cover
Week 1 - Discover how you're currently breathing and learn some simple tests to help measure where you're at now and track your progress over the 4 weeks. Do you know how to breathe using your diaphragm and what the diaphragm is?
Week 2 - Learn the 3 categories of breathing practice. You'll learn: a technique to use in the mornings to help you to feel more alert and awake; a technique for during the day, to help balance your energy levels; and a calming technique for use just before going to sleep.
Week 3 -Discover some basic science of breathing, what triggers us to breathe? Is carbon dioxide bad? Should we breathe through the nose or mouth? What about how we breathe during sleep? We'll take the discussion on sleep a little further and help you to consider whether there are any tiny steps you can take to improve your sleep.
Week 4 - Discover that breathing has the power to influence our nervous system and how this may relate to the stress response in your body. We'll also discuss stress in a little more detail. Is it always bad? Why we need stress, and what happens when it becomes chronic.
During each workshop there will be some time for connection within the group, some guided breathing practice together and some learning. Throughout the 4-weeks you'll have email support from me if needed and the video lessons to help you practice at home.

More Testimonials
"And breathe….a calming, self- care day spent learning to breathe in an efficient and beneficial way. Katie’s explanations and demonstrations were interesting and easy to follow with great tips on how to incorporate these simple breath techniques throughout the day to help relieve stress and anxiety. I’ve always had trouble sleeping and Katie’s Chamomile breathing technique just before bedtime has most definitely helped me achieve a more peaceful nights sleep" - Frances
"Being menopausal, I have found my stress and anxiety levels have heightened, and my sleep has also been affected. I have been taking medication to help alleviate the symptoms, but I was keen to also use natural methods as well. This is what drew me to Katie's breath workshop, because I was interested to see how I could help manage my emotions just through breath. Breath is something we all take for granted, and it was not until I attended the course, I started to become conscious of how I actually breathe! Katie was very knowledgeable, and explained the science behind why breath is so important and how small changes can make big differences. She taught several different types of breathing techniques that could be used at different times of day, depending on how you were feeling. Several months later, I still use the things I learnt at the workshop and it has definitely helped me" - SN
"The workshop provided me with an opportunity to gather my thoughts and focus on myself. I have been struggling with stress, anxiety and sleep problems. The course has shown me how to use breathwork as part of daily routine to help alleviate these issues. Katie is knowledgeable, friendly and understanding. Would definitely recommend".
Amy
"Katie’s Breathwork Workshop was excellent, with a good mixture of theory and practical breathing exercises. The small group size gave plenty of opportunities for discussion and questions in a relaxed atmosphere, and Katie’s clear videos for following at home provided additional scope for guided practice. I have already found the techniques useful in managing stress and another positive takeaway is being able to fit my preferred exercise pattern into my daily routine".
Wendy

Thanks Katie" LJB
