Optimal Breathing for Life & Living: a mind body somatic perspective (part I)
Embodied breath is about you feeling and sensing you, and using your greatest resource which is you! We are composed of anatomical, biomechanical and physiological processes that are in continuous dialogue with our mind - body and body - mind. So embodied breathing is a process and practice of learning about how we work and function. As a somatic practitioner my role is to guide you through the process of how to sense that. In somatic work we are not asking our minds to empty as that can for many people be a huge challenge and is not our objective, but by focusing on the sensation and feeling in our bodies we can rebalance, discover and be more at peace and calm with ourselves. Learn more about somatics, breathing and how this differs to the breathing used in movement systems such as yoga and Pilates and how this can help you restore greater balance and take that deeper breath.

Have you ever just stood outside, taken a deep breath and just felt the exhilaration and calmness of breathing and that feeling of just being alive? With stunning blue skies this afternoon this wonderful and simple quotation popped up into my head!
“I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart. I am, I am, I am…”
This journal looks at our inner state of wellbeing and discovering our interoceptive selves.
