Breath tune-up
Welcome to the third meditation in this Mini Somatic Series exploring your relationship to your breath.
As we begin to recognise moments of support and safety within and around us, we can then start to recognise a powerful resource that is always with us:
Our breath.
The breath is one of the few systems in the body that happens automatically, yet can also become a doorway into conscious regulation.
The challenge is that when the nervous system has been living in states of stress, urgency or protection, breathing patterns often adapt without us realising. Breath may become shallow, held, rushed or restricted as the body prepares to respond rather than restore.
Many people are either short-changing their inhale or not completing a full exhale. When we discover we have not been breathing fully for a long time, it can feel like a great relief to finally take a real, full, expansive breath.
This practice is an invitation to realise what breath capacity you have access to.
I invite you to return to this micro-moment of regulation whenever your breath is in need of a tune-up.
Want to Go Deeper?
If you’re feeling drawn to this work and want to learn how to support the body and nervous system intentionally, application is open for my upcoming training in September.
This training is designed for practitioners, space holders, and curious humans who want to deepen their understanding of somatics, nervous system regulation, embodiment and working with the wisdom of the body.
Inside the 150h training, you’ll learn how to:
• Understand trauma through the lens of the body
• Guide clients safely through regulation and emotional release practices
• Build confidence structuring trauma-informed sequences
• Hold spaces that feel safe and deeply transformative
• Integrate somatic tools into your existing work or begin a new path entirely
“This training should be considered essential, not just for yoga teachers and bodyworkers, but for anyone because this is the most impactful and vital work you can ever do on yourself!“
