By now, you’ll have noticed a rhythm forming across these sessions — a kind of slowing down.
We began by finding the floor, then learning how to rest there.
This week, we introduce the breath — not as a technique to master, but as another way of tending to ourselves.
Most of us spend our days breathing high in the chest, as though life were an endless sprint.
It’s useful when we need to perform or push through, but it’s no place to live.
This session explores what happens when we invite the breath lower — into the ribs, the belly, the back — and begin to lengthen the exhale just slightly longer than the inhale.
There’s nothing to achieve here.
No breathwork hacks, no forced calm.
Just a small recalibration: five counts in, six counts out, over and over, until the body starts to believe the world might be safe enough to soften.
When we allow the exhale to lead, we make space for gravity, for stillness, for the quiet possibility that we can meet life as it is — not through effort, but through ease.
