Would you like to cut through all the confusion around different types of breathwork and bring it right back to basics? How should we be breathing in every moment of each day to optimise health, sleep and longevity?

Why Functional Breathing Matters…

When your breathing is out of balance, you may experience:

  • Fatigue or low energy

  • Anxiety, stress, or overwhelm

  • Poor sleep and sleep disorder breathing

  • Difficulty focusing & concentration

  • A sense of being disconnected from your body

The way we breathe affects everything, and everything affects how we breathe, but how often do we actually pause and notice how we are breathing?


Most of us go through life without realising that the way we breathe can either support our health and vitality, or quietly drain it. Breathing quality affects how we think, our emotions, mental clarity, the ability to concentrate and our ability to sleep.

This free 60-minute online workshop is designed to bring you back to the foundations of functional breathing - simple, science based, and time-tested practices that can transform the way you feel every single day. We will clear away the confusion of all the different breath techniques and focus in on what makes breathing functional and why that is the most important first step.

Who is this workshop for?

  • You are curious about breathwork but are unsure where to start

  • You have been to one of my previous courses and need a refresher

  • You would like to develop your understanding as part of a health or carer’s role

  • You are looking for natural ways to support your health and wellbeing

  • You have a specific health challenge you would like to address in a more holistic way

  • You are struggling with stress, anxiety, or overwhelm

  • You want to improve sleep or reduce symptoms of sleep disorder breathing

  • You want to deepen your breath awareness

  • You simply want to feel more grounded, energised, and balanced

This is the perfect entry point for beginners or those wishing to start on a journey towards deeper understanding of the breath.

Everyone is welcome.

INTRODUCING YOUR HOST

Thank you for being here.

My name is Lea and I specialise in functional breathing, breathwork and pranayama for health, wellbeing and healing. I have a Bachelor of Science in Sport Studies and a Post-Graduate Certificate in Health & Physical Education. I am trained in Buteyko Method, Oxygen Advantage and Pranayama. I am a qualified Wellness Coach - guiding healing through breath, movement and subtle energy.

I currently spend my days working one-to-one with clients with health challenges, delivering breath-centred workshops within the corporate and education sectors, teaching community yoga and breath classes and running retreats.

I combine the science with the authentic voice, all inter-woven with yogic wisdom, a unique recipe to access and cultivate our own natural healing within.

Can’t make it live - don’t worry, I will make the recording available for 48 hours after the session. You MUST be registered to receive the recording link.
