Why breath practice

Breathwork is a practical way to settle attention and the nervous system

Breath is already at the centre of Tai Chi, Qi Gong, and Taoist practice. Private teaching gives you more time to explore breathing, posture and attention with me.

My approach is gentle and practical. There is no forced intensity, only a slower way to work with breath, posture, and attention.

What the practice explores

  • Dantian-centred breathing
  • Slower exhale and nervous-system settling
  • Releasing unnecessary tension
  • Grounded awareness rather than head-heavy effort
  • A natural bridge into Tai Chi and Qi Gong practice

Who it is for

  • People feeling stressed, scattered, or burnt out
  • Students wanting a deeper internal practice beyond movement
  • Locals curious about Taoist breathing without needing a full class commitment first
  • Existing Tai Chi and Qi Gong students wanting to deepen the breath component

How it fits

A supporting practice alongside Tai Chi and Qi Gong

You can explore breathing alongside movement in the open Friday class, or make it the focus of a paid private lesson. There is no public breath-workshop timetable.

Private sessions can take place at the Sedgefield practice spot or at your home along the Garden Route. Message me to discuss fees and availability.
