A guided breathwork session for people whose brain won't switch off.

What this is, in plain English

You lie down, and you're guided to breathe. That's the whole thing.

You'll lie down somewhere comfortable, and Kelly and Stephen will guide you through a specific way of breathing for a good stretch of time. There's no chanting and no performing, and nothing weird is asked of you at any point.

What that breathing does is something your thinking mind has never managed on its own. It eases you out of the fight-or-flight gear you've been stuck in for so long that it just feels like being you now, and once you're out of it, your body finally gets a chance to put down some of what it's been carrying.

What it's designed to do

• Quiet the racing head.The breathing slows down the part of you that's been running tomorrow's conversations on a loop since about 3am, and for once it actually goes quiet.
• Let the body let go.The jaw you didn't even realise was clenched, the shoulders that have been up around your ears since 10am, the tightness across your chest. All of it finally gets somewhere to drop.
• Move what talking didn't shift.Maybe you've already done the CBT and the counselling and the apps, and if talking it through only ever left you more upset, that's because this works a different way altogether, through the body rather than the head.
• Send you home a bit steadier.You won't walk out a different person. You'll walk out the same one, just with a bit more room inside, the kind of room that means you lift the pot off the heat instead of tipping over the edge.
