THE superPOWERs OF BREATH

Full Body Breath Circle is an artfully curated weekly practice weaving together the transformative powers of yogic pranayama with the modern science on functional breathing. It is for anyone looking to:

  • Establish an intentional daily practice that weaves into your current lifestyle

  • Practice with a clear direction and measurable progress.

  • Feel practical benefits in everyday life and long-term change.

  • Experience the essence of pranayama as a portal for stilling the mind.

The science of pranayama involves manipulating the way we breathe in order to retain energy inside the body. B.K.S Iyengar calls it the “respiratory art” encompassing the fineness of our ability to breathe less.

Up to 80% of adults struggle with habitual dysfunctional breathing patterns! Yoga students + teachers included. Many of us simply don’t have a healthy baseline, because of our modern lifestyle and because we simply haven’t been taught how.

The essence of pranayama is learning to breathe optimally for life itself. Why? Pranayama is a practice for long-term and lasting change, and change is dependent on what we do habitually rather than a brief moment at the start of a yoga class.

The circle is a supportive, safe group environment where questions and sharing are encouraged. Join if you’d like to harness the root of your health and wellbeing.

BENEFITS

Pranayama is often framed as ‘out of reach’ for the modern practitioner or detached from modern life. Yet, never has the power of this lost art been more necessary. Chronic stress is at an all-time high and there’s no denying the pitfalls of modern life pulling us away from our evolutionary roots.

Breath is the superpower that re-establishes balance at our very essence. The alchemy of breath (i.e chemical reaction of oxygen + carbon dioxide) is the barometer for every other system of the body to gauge correct level response. That means, if we want balanced hormones or good immunity, first we need to balance the biochemistry of our breath.

Breath Circle is not about rote learning techniques. Rather, you will learn the core principles of pranayama to apply to any practice for a chosen effect. The aim is to be empowered as the curator of your own practice and learn to confidently manipulate your breath for wide ranging effects. This includes boosting mental clarity, heightening creativity and self-awareness, processing stored emotions, increasing immunity, and reducing stress.

BREATH CIRCLE BACK STORY

Always liked the idea of breath work but never had it delivered to you on a plate that actually wet your appetite? 

My first taste of breathwork was in Thailand about 7 years ago. For 3 months we sat for 1 hour of pranayama/ yogic breath practices per day. The sessions gave me so much energy that I barely needed to sleep. My energy was buzzing, my skin was glowing and I felt a sense of deep ease and fluidity as I moved through my day. I was totally high on a breath-infused abundance of life. 

However, when I returned back to Australia my breath practices shrunk back down to fit inside the four corners of my daily asana practice. The sudden shift out from island life stunted my capacity to apply the tools that were so prominent in ashram-style living. I had tasted the transformative power of breath and yet didn't have the systems in place to marry the magic tools with my lifestyle back home. 

It wasn’t until life threw some curve balls that I began to lean on breath practices more fully. Breath after all is the primal tool for meeting intensity. Often we are intuitively drawn to the breath when we are either about to go through a big life shake-up or still wading through the sediment of an intense realignment. This was the case for me. Breath was intuitively the force, the tool that I knew would help me bridge the gap.

A morning breath practice is as necessary to me as breakfast, and I sprinkle a myriad of short techniques throughout my day.

When I wake up I use breath to stoke my metabolism; when I go to sleep I use breath to lull me into a full night of deep and restful sleep. The impacts are immediate, huge, simple, accessible and the most transformative and powerful source I've ever used to tap into my body’s own healing mechanisms.

I decided to create Full Body Breath Circle to share the magic of these practices with others, in a format where it practice could break free of the confines of a yoga mat and live richly in the lively silence of any and every breath. My intension is to inspire an EXCITEMENT about this ancient art, that in most modern yoga classes is largely missed. 

I always think if someone spent time around me, I would love them to walk away and just feel ‘being around her felt like resonating at the sweet vibration of pure breath'.

To come back to breath is to trust life has got our back.

Love,

B xx

 
 
 

STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

 
 
Breath Circle Testimonials

“Pranayama felt like this whole practice that remained out of reach to me despite practising asana for many years. I have read books and watched tutorials but was always left wondering if I was doing it right. I felt as if there was something just out of reach that I couldn’t see or feel. Brooke’s teachings and breath circle community has allowed me the space to explore a number of pranayama techniques and the huge and multilayered effects they have had on my body, mind and life. Brooke’s fusion of scientific explanations coupled with ancient philosophy is further enriched by her unwavering presence and support through Zoom, Facebook, and email. Her ability to hold space for you as you explore and learn is immense. If you are new or curious about breath work I cannot recommend Brooke Elliston’s Breath Circle enough. How I move through the world has been changed by the simple yet powerful practice of breath.”

- Chloe Glendenning, Australia

“I’m having the busiest time now with my work which makes me literally sick (because of my auto-immune condition). One of the ways I can manage is breath - I’ve been doing your Breath circle in September. It is the sweetest and deepest experience! I never thought I could enjoy breathing so much, savoring breaths like it is something delicious. Thank you thank you thank you thank you for that.”

- Katja Markelova

“Brooke’s approach to breath has completely transformed the way I perceive, direct and connect with it on the daily. How is it that we live so disconnected from our most essential nature? Through the balance of scientific facts and Brooke’s exquisite understanding of the breath; this circle has empowered and motivated me to keep practicing, exploring, and unlocking the wonderful effects of breath-work on my own.”

- Gaby Alpizar

“Brooke facilitated a beautiful deepening of my connection to my own breath and energy body. She is the most down-to-earth, knowledgeable teacher and sweet soul and encouraged us to curiously explore all the physical and energetic effects of breathwork. It also made me more confident to teach and share breath with others. Amazing!”

- Vanessa Angermann

“My breath works taught so me that there is a time to drive towards what we love and a time to let go. I am in this time of letting go while deepening my breath practice. I’ve always been practicing breathing as I literally fell in love with breath exercises with Uddyiana Bandha. But I didn’t have any backgrounds and didn’t know the meaning of it. I was just feeling some great effect. The Breath Circle gave me the chance to know more about technics and to personalize my practice, using which technics at what time of my day for a specific effect. It is like directing the energy where you need it most. Now, all the previous feelings I was feeling before the breath circle make perfect sense and I can go deeper into them as I understand better how my body works. I am now building my routine, first thing at the morning and the results, after 1 month are already very tangible. I am in a process of healing a knee injury and it is going very well- I know by grace that my breath is one of the key of the process. I have this thing of getting obsessed with what I love, I mean I still try to keep the balance and develop a healthy obsession. But, I guess this is the key for true consistency. And maybe the definition of passion. And so the definition of myself. So breathing is not only an automatic part of me, but it is becoming me, integrally.”

- Valentine Verger, France
