Pause + Recharge: A Mini Yoga Retreat
Led by Tawny Cortes
Date: Sunday 9th June 2024
Time: 10.30am-12.30pm
More retreat than workshop, this session will follow the elements of a retreat, providing a calming setting to relax and unwind. Life is wonderful, but also hectic and stressful, often leaving us feeling depleted and ungrounded. Our practice is our sanctuary from the responsibilities and deadlines piled upon us and gives us the space to reboot.
This workshop will include gentle yoga, restorative postures, breath work and crystal bowl sound healing to nourish mind, body and spirit. This combination of modalities is intended to restore nervous system health, re-establish balance and renew our spirit.
Take time to slow down, relax deeply and leave feeling replenished and recharged.

SUNDAY WORKSHOP AT 7BREATHS
ELEVATE YOUR WATER: Science, Movement & Sound
Led by Claudia, Elisa & Selma
Date: Sunday 5th May 2024 10.30am-1pm
£49.46pp
We are proud to introduce this Sunday workshop in which science merges seamlessly with healing movement & sound vibrations, offering you a transformative experience.
Embark on a Holistic Wellness Journey with Structured Water, Movement, and Sound led by Claudia, Elisa and Selma.
Water isn’t merely a thirst quencher—it’s the essential element that binds our mind, body, and spirit, serving as a crucial conduit for their interconnectedness. Water not only influences our physical well-being but also plays a pivotal role in shaping our beliefs and consciousness.
THE WATER IN YOU
In Part 1 we will uncover the profound connection between water and well-being, unlocking the secrets of its dynamic nature (structured vs unstructured, the 4th phase of water) within the human biological system.
MOVING OUR WATER
In Part 2 we focus on revitalising our stagnated inner water element through flowing, water-inspired movements and conscious breathwork.
In a metaphysical sense, the water element is associated with the sacral chakra governing our emotions, creativity and zest for life.
By releasing blockages around this energy center, we will restore the flow of emotions and nurture the yin abilities of acceptance, allowance and receptivity- for a renewed passion for life.
BATHE IN SOUND
In Part 3, experience deep relaxation through the healing vibrations of a gong. Bathe in soothing waves of sound as subtle vibrations impact the water within your cells, restoring harmony and optimal resonance.
CELLULAR HYDRATION
The workshop concludes with Part 4, offering insights into how to nourish your body on a cellular level and share practical knowledge to sustain the harmonious balance achieved throughout this transformative journey.
