Strelnikova’s breathing technique is a unique health improvement method that was created several decades ago in Russia and which has already cured thousands.  It is now accessible to anyone who wants to master and apply it. Practicing Strelnikova’s breathing technique for 20-30 minutes daily is enough to keep the body healthy and balanced.
 

Original application was for restoring of the voice for singers but later it has been shown that method is effective for treatment and prophylactic of wide range of respiratory illnesses, in particular asthma, tuberculosis and chronic bronchitis. Main idea of the exercises is to exert a strong nasal breath-in (sniff) while compressing the lungs by a simultaneous straining of different muscles.

Breathing correctly

What can be easier and more natural than breathing? Exhalation and inhalation bring us oxygen and carbonic gas, without which life would not be possible. Many centuries ago, people found out that by adjusting and changing the rhythm of breathing, it is possible to cure many illnesses and to be charged with positive energy, especially if respiration is correctly combined with physical exercises.

It is known that respiratory gymnastics already existed in ancient China, a place where many methods of health treatment were created. One exercise system invented by Eastern wise men and healers was called Quiqong (chi kung), from the Chinese word ki (chi), the life energy giving force to all living things. When there is a lack of this energy in the body, when it stagnates or is used incorrectly, an illness appears. With the help of special respiratory and physical exercises a person can learn to accumulate ki, to distribute it correctly, and by that to improve one’s health, achieve inner harmony and live a long and healthy life.

This ancient system is practiced today by many athletes and movie stars, those who always have to be in shape.

Another, just as ancient system, the yoga art of pranayama breathing teaches us how to control our vital energy. Pranayama helps to clean the body, to develop flexibility and strength: but to master it one needs to be a serious yoga practitioner.

Researchers and adepts of unconventional breathing techniques have existed in Europe, too. The desire to overcome numerous illnesses, including asthma and rheumatic fever, led Joseph Pilates, from Britain, to develop exercises for flexibility and mobility. Pilates training was applied in post-WWII military hospitals for the rehabilitation of wounded soldiers, and now this program is offered by many fitness clubs.

In Russia people first became interested in respiratory gymnastics at the beginning of the last century. In the 1920s, Olga Lobanova, having learnt the three-phase breathing system of the German singer Leo Kofler, developed her own technique of respiratory exercises.

In the 1970s, there appeared in Soviet newspapers the first publications about Alexandra Strelnikova, a singer who was able to restore her lost voice with the help of respiratory exercises of her own invention. There was a paradox, which consisted in the fact that the way breathing and movements were combined in Strelnikova’s system completely contradicted the rules of traditional gymnastics.

Everyday Meditation & Visualization

Everyday Meditation & Visualization workshop Swindon

Visualisation - Workshop

---------------------------------

1 Day Workshop

---------------------------------

 

Neither Meditation, nor Visualization should be hard work!  You do not need to be highly disciplined, highly spiritual or be able to sit in the lotus position to do either!

Meditation is one of those things that we all feel would benefit us and we will get around to doing it one day. Now is the time to learn about meditation and how to put it into practice to fit in with your life.   Meditation is the perfect way to relax and beat everyday stress; you may even discover a little spirituality along the way.

For some people Visualization can be easier to achieve, and can be used anytime and anywhere.  Learning and practicing the art of visualization can reap instant rewards and helps us to take a little 'mental holiday' whenever the stress of everyday life threatens to overwhelm.

I love mediation and visualization and this workshop is relaxing and calming, but definitely fun!  It is also jam packed with practical hints, tips and useable exercises.

Reflexology

Reflexology workshop swindon

Reflexology - Workshop

---------------------------------

1 Day Workshop

---------------------------------

 

If you want to make someone feel relaxed – rub their feet!!  The reason for this is that we have 7000 nerve endings in our feet, and Reflexology is the theory and therapy which shows us that every system and organ in our body is mirrored in our feet.  Reflexology is an amazing holistic (whole body) therapy that can aid recovery after illness, help physical ailments and relax the mind and emotions.  This comprehensive course will introduce you to the principles of reflexology and will enable you to safely perform a 30-minute reflexology routine on yourself, family and friends, by the end of the day.

 

What is reflexology?

Reflexology is a form of bodywork that focuses primarily on the feet. How does reflexology work? The underlying theory behind reflexology is that there are "reflex" areas on the feet and hands that correspond to specific organs, glands, and other parts of the body. For example: the tips of the toes reflect the head the heart and chest are around the ball of the foot the liver, pancreas and kidney are in the arch of the foot low back and intestines are towards the heel. He believed that certain areas on the feet and hands were linked to other areas and organs of the body.  A scientific explanation is that the pressure may send signals that balance the nervous system or release chemicals such as endorphins that reduce pain and stress.

 

How can Reflexology help me?

  • Stress and stress-related conditions

  • Tension headaches

  • Digestive disorders

  • Arthritis

  • Insomnia

  • Hormonal imbalances

  • Sports injuries

  • Menstrual disorders, such as premenstrual syndrome (PMS)

  • Digestive problems, such as constipation

  • Back pain 

  • It promotes relaxation, improves circulation, reduces pain, soothes tired feet, and encourages overall healing.

The Benefits of Baby Massage

From the moment your baby enters the world he (or she) depends on the most basic of instincts to survive. He’ll recognise you by your smell and will associate comfort and safety with your voice and touch. When you massage your baby you will be telling him that he is loved, cared for, safe and comforted. You, the parent, will gain confidence by the regular contact and will be able to notice changes, and possibly threatening conditions, by familiarising yourself with the way your child feels, looks and behaves.

By using massage as a form of communication you can talk and sing to him, conveying strong messages on a mental, physical and spiritual level, stimulating his mind and his awareness of ‘self’, and expand his horizons to legs, feet! Toes!!, arms, hands! Fingers!!

Baby Massage swindonThe physiological benefits of massage can aid pain relief by moving wind, helping constipation and easing colic. Face massage can unblock sinuses, soothe aching gums and help teething pains. The basic exchange of toxins for fresh blood helps to smooth frown lines, encourage growth and relax muscles tensed by bouts of crying or frustration. A relaxed body and calmed mind sleeps better and for longer, giving his parents a chance to relax and regain some balance.

The gift of massage can carry on as he grows, too. Toddlers love playing ‘this little piggy’ with the leg and foot massage or ‘hickory dickory dock’ with the chest and arm massage. The benefits, bonding and stimulation can continue until they are adults.

And above all you have taught them to have a positive body image, with no fear of touching and giving comfort to others and a trust of those who care for them. A priceless gift.

Couples Massage workshop swindon

There are so many stressful situations to deal with these days. At work there are deadlines, targets, punctuality, responsibility and interaction with customers and clients. At home we have kids, school, meal times, bills and a thousand other things. No wonder we're tired! No wonder that we sit in separate seats to watch T.V. and roll onto our sides and fall fast asleep each night.

By allowing yourself to be touched in a non-sexual way calms and comforts your mind as well as relaxing and repairing your body. So massage = trust = calm & closeness.
