This is a monthly conscious connected breathing group at Checkley, Stoke on Trent.

Conscious breathing opens us up to thoughts and feelings we usually suppress. There is an opportunity through the session to feel and experience ourselves more deeply and potentially release tension and stuckness from the body, people often feel lighter and clearer from attending and connecting with their breath and breathing more deeply.

I facilitate the group and call on co-facilitators if the group is larger than 8 people. This ensures that everyone is supported well as they breathe.

The breathe is usually around an hour with a chance to share before and after.

The breathe takes place with everyone lying down and breathing into the belly and up into the chest, a three-part breath. You may begin to feel tingly, lightheaded, buzzing etc as your energy begins to flow in different parts of your body.

Feelings, sensations, emotions, thoughts and memories can be experienced through the body for you to notice and allow.

Becoming more conscious of what you hold in your body is the aim of the practice. You may wish to release content through movement, toning, humming, laughter or just being the observer.

Contra-indications for attending the group are:

  • Cardiovascular disease (angina, previous heart attacks, or strokes)
  • Detached retina
  • Glaucoma
  • Aneurysm in the brain or abdomen
  • Kidney disease
