Meet The Practitioner – Corporate Breathwork Workshops
Breathwork practitioner, Alan Ball, was lead to the practise after the effect his first breath workshop had on him.
"Unknowingly, it had allowed me to begin to become myself; my true self. I was more aware of my feelings and emotions and as a result knew that I needed more in my life and that breathwork would be the mechanism to help me. By becoming a practitioner, I now have the perfect balance between a corporate life and my wellbeing life… my service and my purpose both as important as each other."
What is breathwork?
Conscious connected Breathwork is a gentle breath practise, focusing on your own rhythm, connecting the breath; i.e. deleting any pauses, extending the inhale and then simply letting go of the exhale, creating a slow, connected rhythmical breath pattern.
What happens during a breathwork workshop?
During my sessions, you will be shown the 5 simple techniques of this style of breathwork before a brief demonstration. You will then get a chance to practise and an opportunity to ask any questions. We’ll then move into an extended breath, followed by a final opportunity to ask any questions.
I’ve been practising now for around 4 years having completed a 12 month training programme. I really enjoy the fact that my work and sessions are non-specific, so we never know what’s going to happen! That in itself is so enjoyable. Showing an individual or a group for the first time how they can change their lives and remove all sorts of trauma, anxiety, stress, or even improve their own health just by focussing on their breath is always such an amazing experience.
What would you say are the top 3 benefits of your sessions?
Physical –
- Moves from a chest breath to an abdominal breath, reducing heart rate
- Aids muscle growth and removes muscle tension to help prevent injury
- Increases energy levels
- Helps you access more of your lung capacity to achieve optimum health
Mental –
- Quiets the mind to give you clarity
- Removes negative, unprocessed energy to help with stress and anxiety
- Improves sleep
Spiritual –
- Enriches your life
- Gives you the confidence to live the life you want
- Helps you experience a sense of enlightenment and spirituality
Who would benefit most from a session with you?
We all need to take more responsibility for our own health. Anyone who attends will at the very least leave with a greater understanding of how their breathing can affect their health and, in turn, their life. So, I’d say everyone would benefit, but then I am biased as I think this technique is a real super power!
