With all the worries and stresses we suffer, especially during the last year of lockdown life, it?s important that we do all we can do to keep ourselves happy and healthy.
There are many ways we can help ourselves during these times, but the most basic and beneficial skill we can learn is to breathe correctly. There are many different breathing techniques, all of which can have a dramatic impact on our health and well-being.
We are very excited to announce our new morning live-stream show called ?Breathing for Life?.
Each weekday morning for the month of February we will live-stream the show at 9am. During the show we will chat with instructors of various breathing techniques from around Ireland.

Maria Connolly discovered the Wim Hof Method in 2015. The ability to control your immune system at will, fascinated her. She had always suffered from autoimmune conditions such as psoriasis, arthritis and mild ulcerative colitis. The Wim Hof Method gave her the insights and energy to change her diet and lifestyle which enabled her to get on top of what she needed to do. It allowed her to go deep within and discover healing is all under her control, a choice and it empowered her to change everything! All you need is already inside.
John McKeown watched the Vice documentary on Wim Hof in 2015 and was fascinated. He signed up for the 10 week online course and was hooked. The following year he visited Wim?s home in Stroe for a weeks advanced training. In 2017 he traveled to Poland training with Wim, Kasper, and Bart and to become a certified instructor. Since then he has been lucky enough to teach the method throughout Ireland.

This left him feeling helpless, as he lacked the knowledge on how to help these people with their pain and suffering.
During the virtual retreat Brian will discuss his experience using release breathwork to manage anxiety, stress and help heal past trauma.

Our Presenters…
“I discovered meditation in 1972 and have been a believer in the fact that there is more, much more to this life than the current global narrative would have us believe.
I heard about the Wim Hof Method/WHM about six months ago and since then, it kept popping into my awareness.
I started practising WHM on 24th January and it works for me.
Find whatever works for you and let?s all wake up to the splendour and wisdom of our eternal individuality. Let?s all learn to live, guided by the spontaneous precision of our own instinct.”
