15:30: Breathwork (internal movement) - Lucy

A lesson on breathing? Novel right? In actual fact, most of us aren't actually using our full respiratory systems and on average only use about 33% of it. Over the past year, I've been diving deeper into the power of the breath and feel honoured to be able to share a couple of techniques with you. You can use to help chill out, fire up or manage some of those uncomfortable emotions that come up for us all. I've been totally blown away by the incredible impact of just simply changing the way you inhale and exhale for a few minutes & I can't wait to share some of this with you.
