Upcoming Events

This is the first workshop in the “The Breathing Well Series”. In this first workshop, we focus on the anatomy of breathing. Instead of trying to correct or improve the breath, we take a step back and observe how it is organised within the body. Through accessible anatomical insight and a somatic, experiential approach, participants are guided to feel breathing as a coordinated, three-dimensional movement. Participants are encouraged to notice patterns, recognise habits and rediscover where ease already exists.

Join Laurent for a soothing monthly Sunday evening masterclass designed to help you unwind, reset, and prepare for the week ahead. Each session offers a gentle blend of somatic movement, breath awareness, and a full Yoga Nidra practice to guide you into a state of deep rest and inner stillness. This is a space to soften the body, calm the mind, and reconnect with yourself.

This class encourages you to slow down and reconnect through breath-focused slow yoga postures, restorative yoga, calming pranayama, and breathing techniques. It finishes with guided relaxation practices inspired by the yoga Nidra method. Focusing on presence and ease, each session offers space to release tension, restore balance, and nurture inner stillness. Suitable for all levels, this embodied approach encourages rest, recovery, and a grounded transition into the evening and a peaceful night’s sleep.

A week of breath-led somatic movement, rest, and reconnection in the Andalusian countryside. Full board vegetarian, with time to explore the coast and white villages.

In the second workshop, the emphasis shifts from understanding breathing structures to preparing them to function more smoothly. Breathing relies on the mobility of the rib cage, the responsiveness of the abdominal wall and the freedom of the thoracic spine. When these areas are restricted, collapsed, or held in constant tension, the mechanics of breathing are affected, and the diaphragm cannot move efficiently. The practical work includes gentle somatic and mindful yoga techniques that promote mobility in the thoracic and upper body while supporting the abdominal cavity and accessory breathing muscles.

In this unique, practical, and therapeutic CPD weekend, Laurent will share his innovative combination of physical techniques and practices, designed to free and prepare the body for improved breathing and respiratory function. You will learn how efficient breathing and healthy respiratory structures support overall wellbeing, including digestion, respiratory health, cardiovascular health, immunity, and emotional resilience. This CPD weekend is ideal for yoga and breathwork teachers, therapists, healthcare providers, and bodyworkers, as well as anyone experiencing breathing restrictions, digestive tension, or stress-related tightness in the torso.

In collaboration with Orange Yoga Cheltenham

A week of somatic movement, breathwork, and expressive freedom in an authentic Greek village on Mount Pelion. Full board, with time to explore the coastline and the Pagasetic Gulf.

Once the breathing structures are understood and the body has regained mobility and support, the breath can be gradually refined in a safe and steady manner. Participants are introduced to breathing practices drawn from both traditional pranayama and modern breathwork, with an emphasis on preparation and awareness rather than effort or control. These include simple exercises involving the nose, throat and abdominal area, helping participants understand how these regions contribute to breathing and overall wellbeing. The practical work includes exploring uneven rhythmic breathing, gently extending the exhalation, meditative kapalabhati and an introductory, non-dogmatic approach to Nadi Shodhana practised with structural awareness.

A winter weekend of somatic yoga, breathwork, and deep relaxation for better sleep and nervous system recovery. Full board vegetarian, steps from the sea on the East Sussex coast.

A week of somatic yoga, breathwork, and deep relaxation built around the theme of Water and Fire, held at a purpose-built ocean-view retreat centre on the volcanic island of Terceira.

A week of somatic yoga, breathwork, and vitality-focused practices at a traditional Berber retreat hotel on the outskirts of Marrakech, tucked away in a quiet village beyond the city.
