Beyond Breath: A Tension Release Workshop

✨ Breathe, Shake, Restore ✨

This three-hour workshop is an invitation to soften, unwind, and reconnect with your body’s natural ability to release tension. Through a carefully designed blend of Hypopressives, Somatic Movement, and TRE® (Tension & Trauma Release Exercises), you’ll experience how breath, posture, and the nervous system work together to create lasting ease.

🌬️ Hypopressive Breathwork & Posture AwarenessLearn how to breathe beyond your belly. Using 360° ribcage expansion and the unique apnoea breath, you’ll discover how posture and breath can reflexively support your core and pelvic floor—helping to restore function without straining or over-tightening.

🌀 Somatic Movement (Feldenkrais & Thomas Hanna inspired)Gentle, mindful sequences invite you to unravel habitual patterns of holding in the body. These simple yet profound movements free up restrictions in the spine, hips, and ribcage, releasing tension you may not even realise you carry, while improving ease and efficiency in everyday movement.

🌿 TRE® (Tension & Trauma Release Exercises)In the second half, you’ll be guided into your body’s natural shaking mechanism—an innate reflex that allows us to discharge stress, tension, and even deep-held trauma from the tissues and nervous system. This practice often leaves participants feeling lighter, calmer, and more resilient.

✨ What to Expect

• A light, welcoming space where you can relax fully.
• Clear, guided practices suitable for beginners and experienced movers alike.
• A balance of education and embodied experience—you’ll learn why these practices work while also feeling their effects in your body.
• Time to integrate, rest, and reflect so you leave feeling more grounded, open, and energised.

Whether you’re carrying physical tension, emotional stress, or simply seeking new tools for resilience and wellbeing, this workshop offers a powerful reset. You’ll walk away with practical strategies you can use at home, and a renewed sense of connection to your body’s wisdom
