If things are getting a bit too much, this is your signal to take a few deep breaths.

In high‑stress professions like policing, simple techniques such as controlled breathing can help regulate stress and support recovery. Miranda Bailey and Sam Murray of The Breath Connection join Andy Rhodes and Nathan Gardiner to explore more in the latest episode of ResetU: The Podcast.

What a FULL ON week it’s been! 🔥

13 workshops and sessions.

Starting each morning at 6.45am with Week 3 of our Back to Balance course 🌅

7 workshops with professionals who operate at the sharp end of keeping this country safe. People who absorb enormous pressure, day in, day out, and rarely get the chance to stop and breathe. It was an honour. 🙏

Tuesday we were at the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester for the launch of ResetU - an app built specifically for police officers and staff to help them check in, regulate and reset, wherever they are. We’re proud partners on this one. 📱

By the weekend, rest isn’t optional. It’s essential.

Every morning this week we’ve walked to our local park with Zorro 🐕 His owner passed away recently and these morning walks have become something we all need. He drags us through our 10,000 steps and loves us unconditionally. We think we’re helping him. But honestly, he’s helping us more. ❤️

Gym. Pool. Sauna. Time with friends and family. Helping our wonderful neighbour settle into his new care home. Good food (and yes, chocolate and chips happened 😄🍫🍟)

None of it cost much. Our gym membership might be the best money we spend all month.

This week, whatever life is throwing at you… make time for the most important person in your life.
You. ❤️

BIG LOVE Sam & Miranda ❤️❤️

Last day of Week 3. 🙏
This week on Back to Balance we’ve been exploring different states of being each day, pairing two breathwork practices and a micro pause tool to work with that state.
Today’s state: frozen. 🥶
That hypoaroused, dorsal vagal response. Your nervous system powering down to protect you. Energy conserved. Disconnected from sensation, emotion and engagement.
Not weakness. Your system doing its job. 💙
Today’s breathwork:
🌊 Voo Breath: a deep, resonant exhale that stimulates the vagus nerve, creating internal vibration to gently coax the system back to safety.
🔥 Breath of Fire: rhythmic and energising, shifting you out of shutdown and back into presence.
Today’s micro pause tools:
👁️ Eye and Tongue Circles: stimulating the cranial nerves, supporting ventral vagal activation and signalling safety to the brain and body.
🐱 Cat/Cow: movement with breath to wake the body up from the inside out.
🔢 Counting Backwards 20 to 1: a simple reset to interrupt the shutdown and bring you back.
One week to go. 🌿

Today feels BIG ❤️

We are incredibly excited, proud, and honestly honoured to share that we are now a partner in the new ResetU Police app 🚓

For over 5 years, we’ve been on a mission…
To bring breathwork into police work.
To support those who serve us, our families, and our communities every single day.

And today… that mission is in full flow.

ResetU is a powerful new wellbeing app designed specifically for policing.
Built for the reality of the job, supporting fatigue, sleep, recovery, and resilience in a way that truly understands the demands officers face.

This incredible creation, led by Nathan Gardiner and Andy Rhodes MBE, and endorsed by Oscar Kilo, The National Police Wellbeing Service, is something genuinely groundbreaking within the emergency services space.

To see breathwork playing a part in this… it means a lot.

A huge thank you to Andy, Nathan, and the entire development team for trusting us and bringing us on this journey 🙏

A special thank you as well to the late Gini Simonet and Thames Valley Police for your support and belief in this work ❤️

And to the Curtis Palmer Program Charity Page., without whom none of this would have been possible ❤️

The launch today at the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry was a special moment.
One of those moments where you pause and realise… something meaningful is happening.

This is just the beginning.

BIG LOVE

We’re delivering seven workshops for a specialist UK government agency whose work sits at the sharp end of keeping our country safe.

These are people operating under immense pressure, day in, day out. And this week we get to offer them something genuinely powerful.

Two workshops. Seven sessions.

Practical breathing tools to shift stress fast and build real resilience. 🫁

Lifestyle strategies for morning and evening, grounded in the science of how your nervous system actually works. 🌅

Because wellness belongs everywhere. Even, and especially, in the places you might least expect it.

This is why we do what we do. Supporting those that serve us, and keep us safe. ❤️

BIG LOVE Sam & Miranda ❤️❤️

This weekend we held our Weekend Reset Retreat near the stunning Peak District. 🏔️

A full house of beautiful humans. All ages, all backgrounds, walking through the door and leaving as one. 🙏

Alongside our soul sister Rachel, we shared a day of real, deep connection: chanting, yoga, breathwork, nature meditation, ice baths, a nourishing lunch and a talk on nutrition. ❤️🌿

This is the work we’re called to do. But the real success is always the people who show up with open hearts and the courage to reset.

You are the magic. Every time. ✨

Our next retreat is 31st May. Bookings open now at the link in bio.

Week 2 of Back to Balance comes to a close tonight! 🎉✨

Last night our beautiful group gathered for their evening routine. 🌙

We started with shaking, one of the most powerful tools for releasing tension held deep in the body, then introduced something a little new… mouth taping! 😮

Mouth breathing during sleep is far more common than people realise and comes with a long list of consequences: poor sleep, snoring, dry mouth, and a dysregulated nervous system. Nasal breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, produces nitric oxide, and promotes deeper, more restorative sleep. 😴💫

Mouth taping gently encourages this shift, and the results can be remarkable. 🙌

💛 A note of caution: mouth taping isn’t suitable for everyone. If you have nasal congestion, sleep apnoea, or any breathing difficulties, please consult your GP first. Your safety always comes first. 🙏

After our evening routine we all joined live in our Breathe Don’t Burn Facebook group for our weekly free coherent breath meditation session. 🌬️❤️

Back to Balance is so much more than an online course. It’s an introduction to a whole new way of living your best life. 😊❤️

Big LOVE 💛
Sam & Miranda

Week two and the Back to Balance group are flying. 🙌

The feedback has been brilliant - and we’re only halfway through!

Last week was all about anchoring a morning routine. This week we’re working on the evening.

Every night at 8.45pm the group gathers online for movement, breathwork, and a short evening teaching to set them up for the best possible sleep. 🌙

Last night? Nutrition. Miranda, who alongside leading this course is a Nutritional Therapist working with the NHS, shared simple, practical meal ideas to help the body properly wind down.

This is what Back to Balance is about - small, consistent habits that genuinely shift how you feel.

Next course coming soon. Follow us so you don’t miss it. ❤️

BIG LOVE Sam & Miranda ♥️♥️

Yesterday reminded us why we do this work. ❤️

Through the Atlas Project we work with people carrying weights most of us will never fully understand.

Yesterday we watched someone arrive burdened, and leave a little lighter, with life long coping strategies- knowing that people genuinely give a s**t about them. 🙏

If we can make a lasting positive change in just one person, our work is done.

Deep gratitude to the Atlas Project, GMFRS, and the Probation Service for the incredible work you do. A true honour to be part of it. 🙏

And to every brave soul who shows up - we see you, we respect you, and we genuinely care. Bravo. ❤️

BIG LOVE Sam & Miranda ❤️❤️

You can wear all the expensive wearables, do as much exercise, see as many wellness coaches, eat as clean as you like. If you aren’t breathing functionally, you are never going to live your best life. 🌬️

The feedback from some of the awesome who attended our latest Curtis Palmer Program Charity Page. 10 day breathing program is in, and honestly? It fills our hearts. 🙏

This isn’t just a breathing course. It’s a life reset. 💡
Participants tell us it changes the way they see everything. How life is intertwined. How taking intentional time for yourself isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity.
Here’s what some of our latest group had to say:

“I thought this course was just about breathing techniques and cold water therapy, but it was so much more.” ⭐

“Sam and Miranda were incredible. Hugely insightful, going above and beyond in terms of resources, encouragement and support.” 💪

“Kind souls who made everyone in the group feel relaxed. I felt so energised every day, even though I was getting up earlier than usual.” ✨

We are both incredibly proud to do this work for those who serve, have served, and their families. 🎖️

The next course is coming later this year. If you want to reserve your space, find out more about the CPP, volunteer, or donate to this incredible charity please visit 👇
