Breathwork in Woolwich.

Conscious Connected Breathwork &

Nervous System Regulation

Work with your breath. Change how you feel.

Two approaches to breathwork — from gentle, regulatory practices to deeper, somatic work that goes beyond thinking.

Your breath changes everything

Your breath is the only autonomic function you can consciously control.

Change your breathing pattern and you change your physiology — heart rate, cortisol levels, nervous system state, and emotional access.

At The Yoga Space London, breathwork is approached in a grounded, practical way. Not as something abstract, but as a tool you can use to understand and work with your body more intelligently.

We offer two distinct approaches, each with a different purpose.

The therapist is gently supporting her with one hand on her shoulder and the other on her back, in a calm and focused environment.

Two approaches. Different purposes.

  • Regulatory Breathwork

    Steady the system. Build resilience.

    This is the most accessible place to start.

    Regulatory breathwork uses slow, deliberate breathing patterns to support the nervous system — activating the vagus nerve, increasing heart rate variability, and helping the body return to a state of safety.

    It’s evidence-based, immediately practical, and designed to be used outside the studio in everyday life.

    Best for:

    Stress and anxiety

    Sleep disruption

    Feeling constantly “on edge”

    Learning how your nervous system works

  • A person lying on a massage table during a massage therapy session. The person has curly red hair, is wearing a black shirt, and a necklace with a pearl pendant. Another individual, likely the massage therapist, is placing their hands on the person's back with the fingers slightly spread. The therapist has yellow nail polish and wears a ring on one finger. The setting appears to be a professional massage room with wooden floors.

    Conscious Connected Breathwork

    Go beyond thinking. Work with what’s held in the body.

    A continuous, circular breathing pattern with no pause between inhale and exhale.

    This approach works directly with the body’s stored experience. It can bring up emotion, release tension, and shift patterns that haven’t been accessible through talking or more conventional approaches.

    For some, it’s confronting. For many, it’s one of the most significant somatic experiences they’ve had.

    Best for:

    Emotional processing

    Periods of transition

    Feeling “stuck” in ways that talking hasn’t shifted

    Those ready to explore more deeply

How sessions are offered

Conscious Connected Breathwork is offered as:

  • One-to-one sessions

  • Small group sessions

  • Half-day immersive experiences

This work is held carefully and intentionally, with the option to go at your own pace. This is not a performance-based practice.

It’s grounded in an understanding of the nervous system, informed by psychotherapy and somatic work, and taught in a way that prioritises safety, awareness and self-regulation.

You are always in control of your breath — and therefore your experience.

Breathwork FAQs

  • For most people, yes.

    Conscious Connected Breathwork is not suitable during pregnancy and may not be appropriate for certain cardiovascular conditions. A short health screening is completed before your first session.

    If you have a complex trauma history, we may recommend starting with one-to-one sessions before joining a group.

  • You might.

    Tears, laughter, anger or grief are all normal responses when the nervous system begins to release stored activation. It’s not the goal — but it can be part of the process.

  • No.

    You are in control of your breath throughout, which means you are in control of your experience.

    The practice can be as gentle or as deep as you choose. You’ll be guided on how to regulate your own intensity, with no pressure to push beyond what feels right.

  • If you have questions, you’re welcome to get in touch.

    We can talk through what you’re looking for and help you find the right approach.
