Mid-Summer Reset: Breathwork & TRE® Workshop

About Mid-Summer Reset: Breathwork & TRE® Workshop

Summer can feel energising and full of life, but the heat and pace of the season can make it harder to slow down and fully rest. This workshop offers a chance to pause, release some of the tension you may be carrying and give your body time to settle. Join me for a restorative 2-hour session in Richmond, London, combining TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) and Conscious Connected Breathwork. These body-based practices can help your system unwind from stress and leave you feeling calmer and more at home in your body. This is a small, supportive workshop, open to both beginners and those with previous experience of TRE® or Conscious Connected Breathwork. I’ll guide you throughout, and you’ll be encouraged to listen to your body and move at your own pace. How this workshop can support you Many of us carry stress not only in the mind, but in the body. It can show up as tension, tightness, fatigue, restlessness, disrupted sleep, emotional overwhelm or a sense of being constantly “on”. This workshop is an invitation to step away from daily demands and give your body space to soften and release. Conscious Connected Breathwork and TRE® may support you to experience: A greater sense of calm and grounding Release of physical tension and holding patterns More connection to your body and breath A deeper sense of rest, clarity or emotional balance Time to reconnect with yourself in a supportive setting What to expect We’ll begin with a short introduction to TRE® and Conscious Connected Breathwork, followed by grounding and body awareness practices to help you arrive in the space. The first part of the workshop will focus on TRE® - a gentle sequence of exercises that helps activate the body’s natural tremor response. This shaking mechanism can support the release of built-up stress, muscular and protective holding patterns in the body. We’ll then move into Conscious Connected Breathwork, a rhythmic, guided breathing practice. Breathwork can help you become more aware of what is present beneath the surface, creating space for tension, emotion and stress to be met, felt and released in a contained and supported way. TRE® and Conscious Connected Breathwork complement each other beautifully. TRE® helps the body begin to unwind and release physical tension, creating space for the breathwork that follows - an opportunity to stay connected to the body, breath and whatever may be present.
