Breathe, Rest & Restore: An In-person Breathwork Morning
10.30am on Sunday 8 November 2026
Venue: Warmth & Wonder at Garn Farm, Clodock, near Longtown Herefordshire
Take a morning out for yourself. Join Matt Freer, certified Breathwork coach at Warmth & Wonder overlooking the Black Mountains, for an introduction to breathwork, a guided 90-minute breathwork session, and time to rest and reconnect with yourself.
There’s also the option to stay on afterwards and enjoy the wood-fired wild sauna, with its views across the hills, spring-fed cold plunge and shower.
A chance to slow down, step away from the busyness of everyday life and give yourself some space to breathe.

What is breathwork?
Breathwork is a simple but powerful way of working with the breath to explore what’s happening within us. Although we breathe all the time, we rarely give our breathing much attention. By becoming more conscious of the breath, we can begin to connect with our bodies, notice what we’re feeling and create space for rest, release and self-discovery.
In this session, Matt will introduce you to Conscious Connected Breathing, a practice in which the inhale and exhale flow together without a pause. With gentle guidance and supportive music, you’ll have time to settle into the practice and explore your own experience.
People experience breathwork in different ways. You might notice physical sensations, emotions, unexpected insights or simply a sense of relaxation and connection. There’s no particular experience you need to have and no right or wrong way to do it. You’ll be guided throughout and encouraged to listen to your body.
No previous experience is necessary. The morning begins with an introduction to the practice, so you can find out what breathwork involves and ask any questions before we begin.

FAQs
Breathwork is a powerful practice that uses conscious breathing techniques to promote physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing. It can help release tension, reduce stress, and foster a deeper connection with yourself.
My sessions will use a continuous and intentional breathing pattern, that allows the body’s natural wisdom to guide the process and promote holistic well-being. This usually involves Conscious Connected Breathing (CCB), which is a breathing technique where the breather intentionally connects the inhale with the exhale without any pauses. It allows deep awareness of self and for our connection with self, others and nature to develop, providing the groundwork for profound personal development.
Breathwork is a powerful healing modality and although usually a deeply relaxing and enjoyable process, it can result in certain specific physiological changes in the body and also sometimes intense physical and emotional release.
