Hello Tuesday people!
Unfortunately there is no class this Tuesday 2nd June; the function room at the Bear is being used for a psychic fair.
Sorry for any inconvenience, the class is back on as normal from Tuesday 9th June.
It’s going to be sunny so you could lay back and have a BBQ instead………….or you could work on your beach body by coming to one of my other classes in the week.

Hello all,
After doing three workshops and a 1-1 session of Transformational Breathing (TB) with Andria here in Birmingham I feel that I have to share my experience with you. As most of you are aware I am always searching for ways to increase my energy, heal myself and transform to be a fully conscious human being. I truly believe that what Andria and her team are doing with ‘Transformational Breathing’ (TB) is a gateway to living happier and healthier. ‘TB’ brings our breathing to its natural place, watching a baby breathe we can see that it is deep in the body – through the diaphragm. As we move through our lives we collect emotions, events, thoughts, feelings and habits – good and bad. These are the things that have made us who we are; they are also the things that have left physical and mental scars with us. The body is like a map, manifesting in its tissues the sum of our actions. I believe that ‘TB’ can help to unlock some of these manifestations (fear, anxiety etc) and enable us to start a fresh – breathe new life.
My first experience of TB was back in November 2008 at the mind, body and spirit festival in Birmingham. It was an hour ‘taster’ workshop, we were all seated and instructed on how to breathe – and then the breathing commenced!! I found myself in a wonderful space where my in-breath flowed into my out-breath forming a continuous moving circle in my mind. When the session was gently brought to a close I found myself not wanting to leave that space of mindful breathing it was so powerful.
I then found Andria doing another taster workshop at the mind, body and spirit festival in Moseley. I had a similar experience of connection to my breath, which inspired me to go to another one of Andria workshops this time at Birmingham Buddhist Centre. This third breathing session was more involved, we were able to lye down, make sounds and even thrash our arms and legs to really get the energy moving. Once again I felt a powerful movement of energy, this time in the form of released emotions, I made very deep mental realisations getting to the root of where and how the energy is blocked in my body.
I went for a 1-1 session with Andria the following week. Having a 1-1 session of Transformational Breathing gives full attention to the ‘breather’. The breathing facilitator can locate various points on the body that can help the breather open up their breath to return to their natural deep diaphragmatic breath. I felt that Andria was in tune with me during the breathing session, saying affirmations which were not only relevant but really helped me to start releasing emotional burdens that I had been holding onto.
It may all sound quite dramatic, but as most of you know I have tried many things and I truly believe that breathing is the key to mental, emotional and physical wellbeing. Breathing is our life force and if our breathing is restricted or ill functioning we become unwell, not just physically but spiritually. I am so inspired by Transformational Breathing that I am telling as many people about it as possible. If you have any questions you can ask me or contact Andria direct. Below are Andria’s contact details and the dates of the next workshops in the Birmingham area. You can also go to the Transformational Breathing website: http://www.transformationalbreath.co.uk
Happy breathing!

Hello all,
In case you didn’t know or had forgotten here are the dates of the classes that are cancelled in the next couple of weeks:
I apologies for any inconvenience caused, you can blame my friend for having her baby christened and another friend for being rude enough to have a birthday celebration in Bournemouth!
All classes Monday to Wednesday are running as normal (with the acception of the Monday 7.30pm class at Onneley due to the bank holiday, both Cocksmoors Woods and Birmingham Sports Centre classes will be running on bank holiday Monday). All Friday and Saturday classes are back to normal from Friday 29th May, hope to see you then.
I understand this may be a little confusing! Just give me a call or email if you need to confirm anything.
Light and love, enjoy your relaxing time off,
Lulu
