Breathe - An ONLINE Transformative Course for Life & Health
Fini Cooper | 4 Weeks, Wednesdays from 11 October | 7:00-8:30pm | Online | Price: £95
“Breathing removes the veil that covers your light” Colin Dunsmuir
Breath is the link between the mind and the body. It is the pathway to meditation and mindfulness. It has the power to unlock huge potential. It can shift patterns. It can transform mental states. The real beauty of working with the breath is that ANYONE can do it, ANYWHERE. You need nothing more than a few moments, some curiosity and some awareness. Whatever you would like to improve in life – be that general well-being, sleep, anxiety, low mood or myriad other issues – refining the way you breathe can get you there.
This introductory course to breathing forms part of the BREATHE… project, a collaboration between The Life Centre and the Shala. The Life Centre and the Shala are London’s two longest standing yoga centres, both offering yoga and mind-body practices to the London community for nearly three decades. The aim of the project is to shine a light on why we should all be paying attention to our breathing and the life-changing mental, emotional and physical benefits that this can yield.
Join us for for this 4 week virtual livestream course, led by breathwork therapist and coach Fini Cooper.

Online Course Content Week by Week
WEEK 1 | BREATHE… the Foundations
In Week 1, we will begin by learning the first step of breathing – breath awareness. You will learn that everyone’s breath pattern is as unique as their fingerprint and how to understand your own. We then start to understand the question – how should we be breathing moment-to-moment and day-to-day?
We will delve into the topic of functional breathing and discover the optimal way to breathe for you as an individual using the guidance of LSD (light, slow, deep) breathing.
