Free Introductory Course on Zoom
During the current Omicron wave it is understandable that people are cautious about attending close-contact classes, and yet many are also suffering from stress and would benefit from some expert input. Consequently we are offering a free introductory course on Zoom beginning in the next few weeks, if there is sufficient interest. Sign-up below for details.
Natural Breathing
Respiratory problems have been very much in the news over the past 18 months and teachers from the Centre have been giving support to people recovering from long Covid with our Natural Breathing workshops in Harmony in Health's Long Covid Support Programme.
Natural breathing is diaphragmatic, like a pair of bellows drawing in air by creating an area of low pressure inside. You can learn about natural breathing at the Centre; no forcing or strain, just more freedom and ease.
