Welcome to our Somatic Breathwork Circle at the Self-Retreat Studio with Jasmine – a fusion of conscious connected breathwork, embodied movement and therapeutic sound, designed to bring about deep states of healing.
Exploring a different theme each month, we offer an experience to:
- Awaken sensations and connections within the body,
- Release and integrate repressed emotions,
- Unravel subconscious patterns and beliefs,
- Gain self-awareness and personal insights,
- Access altered states of bliss consciousness.
Conscious connected breathwork is known to:
- Build resilience within the nervous system,
- Improve mental health,
- Enhance creativity.
In each session, you can expect:
- Introduction to the style of breathwork and the month’s theme,
- Grounding practices to prepare your nervous system,
- A 60-minute breathe lying down,
- Time for integration and optional sharing within the group.
Jasmine uses a somatic and trauma-informed approach to guide the body into a deeply embodied state, where the natural healing process begins.
Our Somatic Breathwork Circle convenes monthly and whether you’re new to breathwork or a regular practitioner, all are welcome within our space. We look to hold a safe and nurturing place where breathers can partake in a unique journey, collectively sharing and amplifying the energy of the group.
We advise soft, comfortable clothing allowing freedom around the stomach, ribs, and chest. We recommend avoiding consuming a large meal two hours before the session.
Upcoming: Wednesday 3rd April 19:00 – 20:30 £39
FAQ’s
What is somatic breathwork?
It is a powerfully therapeutic technique, known as conscious connected breathwork. Connecting the inhale with the exhale, using embodied movement and sound to bring us into connection with our body. It can be an activating practice, where we stimulate the nervous system in a safe and intentional way.
What is a breathwork circle?
It’s a safe space, where we land monthly in community to use the breath as a tool for healing. We begin by introducing the theme, explaining the breathwork and ways to intensify or soften the journey. You will then lie down and follow the rhythm of the music with your breath. There is time for integration with optional shares at the end.
What benefits can I expect from the session?
• A natural built resiliency within your nervous system
• Deeper connection with yourself and your body
• A healthy outlet for ‘difficult emotions’ such as anger, resentment, bitterness
• Connection with a like-minded compassionate community
• Space held for you to feel whatever it is you need to feel
Is any prior experience with breathwork or meditation necessary?
Breathers and meditators of all levels of experience are welcome; the whole process will be explained on the day. You will be given ways to deepen or soften your experience with the breath, depending on where you are on your journey. Conscious connected breath helps quiet the prefrontal cortex (the front, top, and youngest part of the brain), known as the monkey mind, so those who have struggled with meditation in the past have found this to change their experience.
I have a heart/respiratory condition/pregnancy, can I still join?
Everyone is welcome in this space, whatever you are navigating. Conscious connected breathing won’t be suitable for everyone, so a different style of breathing will be provided for you. In this case, please inform Jasmine on the day.
What should I wear?
We suggest wearing loose, comfortable clothing, with space around your belly, ribs, and chest.
