Breathing is something we do 20,000 times a day, and yet few of us ever learn how to breathe well. Across thousands of years, from ancient yogis and Sufi mystics to modern neuroscience and elite sports training, breathing has been seen as a gateway to calm, clarity, energy, and connection. But why has every wisdom tradition returned to the breath? And what does contemporary science now confirm about what the ancients already knew?

Join Shamash Alidina for a warm, experiential workshop exploring the fascinating history, art, and science of breathing practices. This session is also the official launch of his new book Breathing Exercises for Dummies. Every ticket holder will receive a free copy of the book to continue the journey at home.

Together, we will learn, explore, and practise a range of evidence-based breathing exercises, from simple everyday techniques to creative and playful breathwork to inspire a deeper relationship with your breath.

You will discover:

• Why breathwork is central to spiritual traditions across the globe

• What modern research reveals about breath, stress, focus, and wellbeing

• Simple practices for mornings, evenings, and on-the-go moments

• Breathing techniques for sleep, stress, clarity, and energy

• Ways to make breathwork creative, enjoyable, and even fun

• A few practices suitable for children and young people

Expect a blend of learning, guided breathing journeys, short meditations, discussion, and space to experiment. You’ll leave feeling lighter, clearer, and equipped with practical tools to take into your daily life.

Whether you’re curious, a meditation practitioner, a breathwork enthusiast, or brand new to this world – you are warmly invited. Come breathe, explore, and celebrate the launch of this new book together.

Includes a complimentary copy of Breathing Exercises for Dummies for every attendee.
