BREATHWORK
This breathwork is 3-part technique active, breathing technique, based in Pranayama, helping you ‘get out of the head and into your body’. It creates space to move from thinking to feeling - awakening your energy and releasing emotion blocks, pain and trauma from the body somatically. We’ll start the active breath and during this part as your energy builds Ellie will get you to make some sound and use your voice. It feels too good to let go and do and makes you feel lighter afterwards! The active breathe for lasts for about 25 mins then move into the resting breath. The resting breath is an opportunity to connect experience you energy, flooded with endorphins, your mind gets out of the way and you’ll experience your energy on a whole new level.
You may experience answers to questions, insights to challenges, freedom from feeling stuck, downloads to what's next for you, your life and your work in the world and compassion for yourself and everything around you. You may also feel inspired, creative and deeply relaxed.We’ll slowly bring our awareness back to the room and integrate by sharing our experience with a partner or with the group if you’d like.
Finally we close the circle. You may experience one or more of the following: more flow, better communication, better boundaries, feeling more connected to your body and your voice, less anxiety, more clarity.. and SO much more!

YOUR HOSTS
JENNIFER KESIK
|
Jenny's yoga journey began back in 2009 as a cure to the back pain caused by scoliosis which she developed while competing as a professional windsurfer. Jenny was amazed how positively her body responded to yoga and what started with simple stretching quickly turned into a regular practice. After 8 years of regular practice in 2016 Jenny traveled to India and completed a 200h yoga intensive Ashtanga/Vinyasa teacher training at Sampoorna Yoga Institute in India. Following completing her teachers' training course she went on and explored Ashtanga Yoga in Mysore where she studied under Ajay Kumar at his Shala Shalam 8 for 3 months. Practice in Mysore has certainly influenced Jenny's teaching. What initially started purely as a physical practice took Jennifer on spiritual journey and inner exploration. Currently Jennifer teaches predominantly dynamic vinyasa and ashtanga classes in Bournemouth, UK where she has lived for the last 13 years. She organises workshops and since 2017 runs yoga retreat company All Flow Yoga through which she has run over 10 international retreats around the world.

Rachael Waring is a senior yoga teacher and has been teaching yoga in and around the New Forest, Bournemouth and Poole since moving to Dorset from London in early 2012. Rachael is passionate about connection - our connection to nature, rebuilding our relationship with the wild, trusting ourselves in identifying the native plants that surround us as well as beneficial and edible plants fungi and herbs, and our connection to ourselves, our bodies, through mindful movement and breath.
She has experienced first hand how damaging the all too common disconnection can be, suffering with chronic eczema and IBS whilst working in London and has healed herself through yoga, dietary and lifestyles changes, turning to the more supportive and nourishing plant medicines as an alternative to the pharmaceutical solutions. She has amassed over 1000 hours of study with different schools of yoga, at the Sivananda Ashram in Kerala, where the traditional and devotional elements of the practice are key, with The Yoga People in London, focussing on Ashtanga and Rocket yoga, and nowhere journey continues with her teacher Tiffany Cruikshank and the Yoga Medicine family. Rachael also offers for ageing and plant medicine workshops alongside her yoga teachings. |
