Breathing Space
Yoga that gives you space to listen to yourself
Breathing space is an invitation to slow down and notice what you need, using movement breath and awareness to support you in the moment.
The practice is adaptable and there is always choice, the emphasis is on developing a kinder relationship with yourself listening to your own experience and finding what feels good and right for you on the day.
It is yoga that starts with the person rather than asking the person to fit the practice.
1
Breath
Using breath to regulate and as a point of connection and awareness. Simple breathing practices can help us notice what's happening and give us something comfortable to return to.
2
Movement
Exploring movement with curiosity and choice, there is no expectation to achieve a particular shape or move in a particular way.
3
Balance
At the heart of yoga is the idea of finding balance. Noticing what is needed and finding ways to support ourselves as things change.
How I teach
Kindness empathy and authenticity are at the heart of my teaching. I want people to feel listened to , respected and able to make their own choices about how they practice.
Who is it for?
Breathing Space can be adapted for different people, settings and needs. It might be suitable for people living with illness, experiencing significant change, supporting someone they care about or simply needing time and space themselves.
“The body always leads us home … if we can simply learn to trust sensation and stay with it long enough for it to reveal appropriate action, movement, insight, or feeling.” – Pat Ogden
How Breathing Space came about
Breathing Space grew from my own yoga practice, my work with people and my interest in yoga therapy. I wanted to create something that adapted to the person rather than asking the person to fit the practice. Something that brings together movement breath and awareness whilst leaving plenty of room for choice.
It's continued to develop throughout my training, practice and conversations with people and organisations I'm inspired by.
