Big Top workshops
A breath for every occasion

In this workshop we'll explore and practice a range of breathwork exercises that you can enjoy in the moment and retain for the future.
From deep, calming breaths to energising intense ones, from tapping into your well of power to breathing to manage pain, you'll leave with a full repertoire of breathing styles for every occasion.
The breath can take us to so many different places so come along and uncover its magic.
