In the studio and online

The benefits of breathwork are more and more widely known, but most people find it hard to develop a consistent practice. Somatics is all about attuning to your body and learning how to let go of unnecessary holding patterns, more so than ‘doing’ more. In this workshop we’ll look at breathing anatomy and mechanics, and then apply this understanding to breath practices with specific benefits for posture and digestion. We’ll also look at the breath’s role in nervous system regulation, applying these principles to practices for stress reduction. Over the 2 hours you can expect: –

• Anatomical, mechanical and physiological theory

• Gentle movement to unlock breath-related soft tissues

• Breath exercises + breath-related meditations & visualisations

This workshop is open to beginners, though some experience in yoga or mindfulness will be helpful. We recommend joining Eleanor’s weekly Somatic Yoga class as preparation and continued practice of these principles, though this isn’t required.
