When you arrive, the first thing we do is slow down. You’ll be guided through a few minutes of gentle grounding, simple movements or steadying breaths, so your body can let go of tension and you can land fully in the space.

From there, we move into the core of the session. Some weeks this might be qigong sequence that opens the body and steadies your energy, other times a breath practice that calms the nervous system, or a quick-reset tool like tapping or Havening to ease anxiety on the spot. Everything is simple, guided step by step, and you’re always free to move at your own pace.

Once the body and breath have softened, we can shift our focus to to a calmness thats always present in the body. You’ll be led into a guided relaxation or meditation, a chance to rest deeply and allow your system to reset. This is often where people notice a sense of space opening up, less pressure inside, more room to breathe.

Before closing, we take a few minutes to reflect and share. You might jot down an insight in your journal or simply notice how you feel compared to when you arrived. Each week you’ll also be given a small, practical tool to carry into daily life, a breathing rhythm, a grounding posture, or a short routine for the evening.. so the benefits don’t stay in the class but travel with you.

The whole process is gentle, supportive, and never rushed. It’s about meeting yourself where you are, using the body’s own intelligence to shift from tension into balance, and building confidence in your ability to find calmer ground.

Understanding Anxiety
Learn how anxiety shows up in the body, breath, and mind, and why it’s not a personal failing, but a natural stress response that sometimes gets stuck.

Each class offers tools you can take into daily life, some for quick relief in anxious moments, others for building resilience over time.

• Quick Reset Techniques
  Simple “first-aid” practices for when anxiety spikes: the 3C’s (Catch → Check → Choose), grounding breaths, Havening (soothing touch with visualisation), tapping (EFT), and short movement sequences to interrupt spirals and restore calm.

• Breathwork for Calm
  Evidence-based methods such as Coherent Breathing, the Buteyko Method, and Box Breathing to regulate your nervous system and settle racing thoughts.

• Grounding Chi Kung Practices
  Gentle forms such as Ba Duan Jin (Eight Brocades) and Zhan Zhuang (standing meditation) to release tension, steady the body, and support emotional balance.

• Unfolding Awareness
  Presence-based techniques that help you sit with anxious feelings safely, allowing them to soften at the root instead of spiralling.

• Restorative Stillness
  Guided relaxation and meditation practices to restore balance, reduce overwhelm, and give the nervous system a chance to reset.

• Better Sleep Tools
  Evening stretches, breath rhythms, and journaling prompts that support a calmer mind and more restful sleep.

• Community Support
  The strength of practising in a group setting, sharing experience, and knowing you are not alone in navigating anxiety.

• Not a replacement for medical care.
  This class supports your well-being but does not replace professional therapy, counselling, or medical treatment.

• Not about “fixing” you.
  Anxiety is a natural human response, not a personal flaw. This space isn’t about erasing anxiety but about learning how to meet it more gently.

• Not about pushing too hard.
  You won’t be asked to do anything overwhelming. All practices are simple, optional, and adaptable to your pace.

• Not a quick miracle cure.
  While you’ll learn effective tools for immediate relief, lasting change comes with practice and patience. This class offers both quick resets and deeper practices to grow with.

• Drop-in rate: £8 per class.

• Six-class package: £40 (to be used within 8 weeks), providing a structured yet flexible approach to managing your anxiety.
