A Morning to Breathe with Helen du Cros and Kat Pring

Description A morning where breath meets sound, movement meets stillness, and people find their own rhythm, in the company of others, guided by Helen du Cros of A Space to Breathe, in a special collaboration with Kat Pring on live harp. Connection A light prompt and some easy conversation to open, if you'd like it, the kind where you might just find yourself exhaling before the morning has even begun. Before we begin, we’ll make an agreement together: you’re always welcome to stay on your mat, lie down, sit up, move, sit on the sofa, keep your eyes open or closed, or leave the room, at any time and without needing to explain. Any pairing or small group is entirely optional. Rest looks different for everyone. Movement Slow, intentional yoga to create space in the body, noticing the space between the ribs, the weight of the body against the ground, the pockets of tension and ease. No alterations needed. Time to move, pause and notice. Noticing the Breath A subtle, guided breath practice: nasal, conscious, connected. Not work, not something to master. You are never expected to push, hold, or force the breath. With invitations to follow the guidance, return to your natural breathing pattern, or rest your attention on something that feels supportive for you. You are welcome to participate in whatever way feels comfortable for you. Fully guided from start to finish. At your own pace. Always. Sound Kat’s live harp accompanies the morning, its resonant tones inviting the body to soften, the breath to find its own rhythm and the pace of the day to ease, if that feels right for you. As the practices gradually merge, Kat weaves harp, voice and other instruments around the ethereal sounds of the crystal singing bowls, gong and percussion played by Helen. Together, they create a rich, immersive soundscape, offering space for listening, rest and perhaps a sense of renewal. There is nothing to do but receive. Reiki (optional) Offered as a gentle layer of support, usually at the end of the yoga or breath practice, with hands hovering or a light touch on the head & feet only if you'd like it. Choice cards on your mat let you decide, and you can change your mind at any time. Provided in the space Everything you need is here: a mat, a bolster, blankets, blocks, and an optional eye mask, if you'd like one. The space has a beautiful wooden floor, with sofas and cushions if that feels more supportive for you. Wear your comfies. Nothing to bring, nothing to organise, though you're always welcome to bring a journal or your own extra layer of comfort if that helps you feel more comfortable. Integration Fruit, warm tea and unhurried conversation, with space for your own experience to settle, held gently within the group. No experience needed. We each arrive holding something different, and you’re welcome to take part in whatever way works for you today. The group is intentionally small, with space for individual needs and different ways of participating. Your pace is always the right pace. What guests have said “Sunday was amazing. It truly felt like a space to breathe and so much more. The way you structured and delivered the two and a half hours was incredible... Everything flowed so beautifully.” Roberta Aloia, guest at A Morning to Breathe Helen, your facilitator I'm drawn to creating spaces where people who give so much can soften, take a breath, and turn a little of that care towards themselves. A gentle, grounded approach, with space to notice what's happening within and around us, without needing to fix, change or become anything else.
