🐚 This immersive class blends powerful modalities designed to promote homeostasis, resilience, and an authentic experience of Self. Drawing inspiration from ritual meditation, breathwork techniques, vocalisation, and guided visualisations—paired with a meticulously curated, dynamic playlist—this class creates a container for entering deeper states of consciousness. An effective energy healing modality further supports the integration of the active breathwork, grounding this practice into embodied presence.
🌬️ The Active Breathwork
This up-regulating, conscious-connected breath integrates elements of ancient pranayama practices with modern techniques. The circular and rhythmic two-part inhale, followed by a relaxed exhale, is performed whilst lying down. This breathing pattern stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, allowing surface tension to rise and transform. Participants may release emotional blocks, move through stagnant energy, or find themselves grounded in timeless presence. Throughout the practice, guided visualisations and check-ins with the body encourage softening the mind and exploring intuition and spirit.
✨ Post-Breath Integration
As the nervous system naturally transitions into parasympathetic dominance—a state of recovery and anti-inflammatory healing—we’ll drift into a regenerative silent meditation. During this phase, Reiki energy is sent to the group, offering comfort and deep relaxation.
✨ Reiki 霊気
Japanese energy healing modality, Reiki combines REI (“soul/spirit”) and KI (“vital energy”), often translated as “mysterious atmosphere.” For Anabel, a third-generation Japanese descendant (sansei), Reiki is a meaningful ancestral practice woven into the session with love and presence.
🕸️ The Breathwork Lineage
Breathwork spans a wide umbrella of traditions, with specific lineages from all over the world. The style of the active breath in this class may feel akin to holotropic or rebirthing techniques. This particular approach, honed and taught by David Elliott, is often referred to as “pranayama breathwork.”
🕸️ Your Facilitator
Anabel brings her own innovative sequencing and intuitive breathing techniques to this class, informed by hundreds of hours of experience as a rites-of-passage midwife, ritualist, and trauma-informed space holder. Her expertise in guiding individuals and groups is grounded in a deep respect for the transformational process.
✨ What to Expect
This class is a practice to support release, revelation, and revitalisation—inviting you to alchemist emotional tension, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and emerge renewed.
