BREATHWORK COURSES
Depending on your overall health, current breathing patterns and needs, we offer different breathwork courses:
SOMA BREATH JOURNEY
60 minutes / Group session: £20/person; One-to-one session £55
SOMA Breath is a breathwork system that blends ancient pranayama techniques with modern music technology and guided visualisation techniques to create transformative experiences. SOMA BREATH enhances emotional states, induces altered consciousness, and promotes healing without the need for substances. Backed by studies from Cambridge University, SOMA Breath has been shown to increase brain complexity, reduce anxiety, and even mimic the therapeutic effects of psychedelics—all while being accessible, enjoyable, and deeply rooted in both science and spirituality.

BREATHWORK FOR SURFERS
6 Hours: £110/person
Holding your breath in maximum heart rate situations requires a specific set of training techniques. This practical course teaches beginner to advanced individuals how to maximize their breathhold in these challenging situations. You will be able to physically and mentally prepare yourself to handle, not fight these stressful situations and learn how to remain calm when your whole body screams to take your next breath NOW!
We also look at risk management, efficient underwater movement and best breathing techniques upon surfacing to avoid blackouts and return faster to normal breathing. Also covered in this course are major safety skills such as rescue response techniques.
Will I benefit from this course? This course is for anyone who wants to hold their breath for longer and remain calm when the sets get bigger and you find yourself caught inside with nowhere to go.
We will help you to overcome your fear of being held underwater, and increase your competence and awareness so you can be more confident in yourself and become a more skilled water person.
IS BREATHWORK RIGHT FOR YOU?
Breathwork is powerful and rhythmyc breathing is suitable for everyone. However, please speak to your GP before booking, and tell us in advance, if you are pregnant, have epilepsy or a history of seizures, a heart or cardiovascular condition, high blood pressure, glaucoma, severe asthma, or have had recent surgery or injury. Please also tell us if you are currently being treated for a mental health condition.
Our courses complement, but don't replace, medical care. Please continue any treatment or medication prescribed by your doctor.
All our Breathwork courses include breath-holds and can be adapted to rhythmical breathing only if your health requires that. Never practise breath-holding alone, in or near water, or while standing or driving.
