EXHALE — Breathwork & Nervous System Reset | Sunday 15 November, Stamford

Sunday 15 November 2026 · 10:30–12:30 · The Dutch Barn, Stamford

INTRODUCTION TO SOMATIC SYSTEM

Two hours to put the week down and learn how your own nervous system actually works.

Most of us are running at a level of tension we've stopped noticing. The shallow breathing, the tight jaw, the 3am wake-up, the feeling of being switched on all the time without ever feeling quite awake. That isn't a character flaw or a discipline problem. It's a nervous system doing exactly what it learned to do. It is time to unwind it back to its natural, peaceful state.

What we'll do

• Understand it. A clear, simple insight into what your nervous system is doing when you're wired, when you're flat, and when you're genuinely settled — and why the breath is the fastest way in.
• Practise it. Guided breathwork you can actually feel working, including a longer journey with music where you get to stop managing everything for a while.
• Take it home. A small set of practices for the moments that need them — before the difficult conversation, in the car park, at 3am — so this doesn't stay a nice Sunday you once had. Because breathwork is not a wellness session. It is an accumulative practice.

Who it's for

Anyone who is tired, wired, stressed or constantly feeling like they are catching up with sleep. You do not need any experience with breathwork, meditation or yoga, and you do not need to be flexible, calm, or good at sitting still. If you've never done anything like this, this is the room designed for you.

Come on your own or bring someone. Most people come alone.

You'll be looked after

Depending on numbers, there will be two practitioners in the room — Diana, the founder of Aire & Soul, with over 20 years experience in Breathwork, and an incredibly intuitive assisting practitioner alongside. That means if anything comes up for you during the practice, there is someone free to come to you, quietly, without the session stopping. Giving you assistance and privacy. You can fully let go — you are not expected to manage yourself in here.

What to bring

Comfortable clothes you can lie down in, warm socks, an eye mask if you like to really go inward — and a water bottle. Everything else is provided.

Before you book

Breathwork is powerful, which means it isn't right for everyone on every day. Please get in touch first rather than booking if you are pregnant, or if you have epilepsy, cardiovascular disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, glaucoma or a detached retina, a recent surgery or health crisis, or a severe mental health diagnosis. Often we can adapt the practice for you — I just need to know first. If you have any of these conditions, I will probably guide you to a bespoke session or a different practice.

Everyone will be asked to sign a disclaimer on the day. This is standard in all of my sessions.
