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.
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
-

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
Which approach is right for you?
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious or want practical tools → Start with Regulatory Breathwork
If you feel something is held in the body that hasn’t shifted → Explore Conscious Connected Breathwork
If you’re unsure, we’ll guide you.
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.
