Conscious Connected Breath Workshop

Anna Nevala is leading a conscious connected breath workshop at We The Conscious Studio on Saturday 24 October, starting at 14:00. Nevala is an East London breathwork practitioner, and you can find more of her practice over at breathethrough.co.

The session centres on conscious connected breathwork, which uses the breath as a gateway to connect mind, body and spirit. The idea is to open up the respiratory system and lean on the body's own natural healing abilities to release physical, mental and emotional tension, and to gain access to the unconscious mind. It's run as an intimate session, capped at eight participants, and it's welcoming to both beginners and experienced breathers, so you don't need to have done this before to join in.

There are a fair few contraindications to keep in mind, though. The workshop isn't suitable if you're pregnant or living with psychotic or borderline psychotic states, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, PTSD, an aneurysm, uncontrolled thyroid conditions or diabetes, cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, a detached retina, high blood pressure, or if you've had recent surgery. If any of those ring a bell, it's worth checking in with your doctor first.

Tickets start from £35.00, and the session runs at We The Conscious Studio, Studio 22, London, E8 2BT, on Saturday 24 October from 14:00.
