Breathwork

On the 20th June we had a really great evening at the beautiful Angel Hall.
After brief introductions I gave a talk on my experiences with Breathwork mainly a 6 day workshop with Dr Stan Grof the creator of Holotropic Breathwork (and co-created the field of Transpersonal Psychology), and another the following year with Tav Sparks each of which included two or three 3Hr intense breathworks which I totally loved and blew me away 🙂 . I also had the pleasure of meeting Leonard Orr before he died, the author of the seminal ‘Rebirthing in the New Age’ at Glastonbury and went over some of his breathwork and his amazing travels. Also I have practiced Wim Hof’s Breathwork with my son where we would do the deep full breaths and then hold in and out three times before jumping in the cold river Teign in the winter and spring. Those that came (13 of us) shared their past breathwork experiences and we discussed James Nestor’s book Breath

I led the group with relaxation and directions as to how to do the breathing and the lovely ‘holders of the space’ Lynn and Paula helped to keep the momentum/energy going and to ensure everyone was comfortable. We played the music to provide tempo and a soundscape to help the breathers navigate the 40 minutes and after did lots of grounding exercises and shared our experiences. We then jumped around for a while and some suggested they would love to do it again maybe even on a monthly basis.

Well, the next one is on Friday 15th August 2025 so if you’d really like to explore what breath can do in a beautiful space, give me a call on 07956 409300 or email Mike @ZenPhysio.com
