Attendee Feedback
“Loved every moment of the workshop. From the science-based explanations, through to the gentle warm-up and breathing exercises, I felt I was in safe hands. And the venue was perfect too”
“Amazing insightful workshop. Tracey is a wonderful guide and the knowledge she shared was life changing. I found it could be applied to many areas - yoga, anxiety and everyday life! Also loved the beautiful meditation”
“As a recreational athlete I wanted to be more efficient in breathing to improve my swimming and running. By practicing the nasal breathing techniques, my performance has improved as well as my sleep. It’s been a gamechanger! ”
“Breathing from the diaphragm rather than the chest and nasal breathing have been a revelation and improved my sleep massively - even during particularly hormonal times - for this alone I would highly recommend Tracey’s workshop. Also for the calming, meditative exercises to still the mind”
