Do you breathe well?
Do you know?

Many people have dysfunctional breathing and have no idea. The signs can be subtle or obvious. How many of these feel familiar?

* Dry mouth in the morning (often from mouth breathing at night)
* Sore jaw in the morning (grinding or sleeping with your jaw open, often linked to mouth breathing)
* Sore throat in the morning (snoring at night)
* A grumpy partner in the morning because of your snoring :D
* Feeling breathless when walking and talking at the same time
* Feeling breathless in social settings when eating or speaking more loudly
* Feeling like you can’t get a full breath
* Feeling your breath sitting high in your chest
* An anxious or panicky breathing pattern
* A tight or tense voice, especially in social or louder environments
* Feeling exhausted after being out and about

If you recognise yourself in these, it might be time to retrain your breathing. I am a breath coach and a speech and language therapist, with experience helping people improve functional breathing in ways such as:

* Bringing awareness to unhelpful breathing habits like mouth breathing and shallow breathing
* Helping you feel the difference between a chest breath and a belly breath, understanding the purpose and use of each
* Teaching how nose breathing can support athletic performance
* Building breath capacity with specific techniques
* Learning breath practices for nervous system regulation
* Retraining night breathing to improve quality of life in many areas

If this sounds like you, send me a PM to arrange 1:1 sessions with me in the new year, or to join my 3 week Breathe Better course in Feb 2026.

Namaste,
Leigh

Gorgeous day retreat near Geraldine last Sunday!

This was my final retreat for the year, for a private group of 8 lovely ladies who enjoyed a day including yoga, cacao ceremony, qigong, sound bath and delicious served plant-based/GF lunch (food by Plumeandplate - great to work with La Toya!)

I'm available for private retreats at your place in 2026. Day retreats for 8 guests are around $95 p/p.

Namaste, Leigh

🌿 Five Cooling Yoga Poses for the End of a Hot Day

If you're feeling warm and worn out after a long day, these gentle yoga poses can help your body settle and your mind unwind.

1. Legs Up the Wall (Viparita Karani)
A simple way to cool the body, calm the heart rate and ease tired feet.

2. Supported Child’s Pose (Balasana)
Rest your chest on a bolster or a couple of pillows to release tension through the back and hips.

3. Supine Butterfly (Supta Baddha Konasana)
Lie on your back with the soles of your feet together and knees open. Add cushions under the thighs for extra comfort and softness.

4. Reclined Twist (Supta Matsyendrasana)
A gentle twist to soothe the lower back and regulate the nervous system.

5. Savasana with a Cool Cloth
Lie down and place a cool cloth on your forehead or heart. It brings instant ease and helps your whole system reset.

See you soon,
Leigh
