Breathwork Coaching
In person or online
What is Breathwork Coaching?
Breathwork is a revolutionary tool for women's health. The way we breathe can profoundly affect our perception of life. As babies we have a full, free and unrestricted breath to match our sense of wholeness. As adults, most of us develop holding patterns in our breath, often arising from emotional wounds, physical challenges or traumas.
Breathwork is a self-healing modality that uses conscious, connected breathing to access expanded states of consciousness, while simultaneously unlocking repressed emotions and clearing stagnant energy from our whole system.
Through an intentional and safe increase of oxygen levels, we activate different areas of the brain to create new neural pathways for deeper insights and heightened clarity, while meeting the root of unresolved imprints for integration and healing.
This is a somatic, emotional and energetic invitation into profound self-remembrance, compassion, radical self-love and powerful reclamation. By breathing into the unknown, we bring life and energy to that which is blocked, dormant or repressed. Through breath, we enliven the lost parts of us and return them back into our seat of wholeness.

· We then move into a breath pattern analysis, offering you the chance to receive feedback on your personal patterns so that we can work towards freeing them.
· You’ll be taught the Conscious Connected Breath technique – a simple yet transformative tool that you can use for life.
· We sometimes incorporate other elements with the breath – including massage, movement, affirmations, visualisation, and sound healing (with your permission in a safe container).
· We close with time for integration and coaching around what arises.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Breathwork at Shala allows a focus and clarity of thought I’ve not experienced before and my sessions with Anna have been transformational.
While the practice is strengthening and cleansing, emotionally and physically, it’s also very accessible, with tangible results from the outset. I came through curiosity and I’m now hooked!’
