Breath of Fire ~ To Energise

Breath of Fire is a dynamic breathing technique that works directly with your energy system, activating both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems to clear stagnation and spark aliveness from the inside out.

Gracie guides you through this three-minute practice at a pace that is accessible whether this is your first time or a well-worn ritual. It works beautifully as a morning energiser or a midday reset — a way to arrive back in your body and your day without needing to go anywhere. Please note: As this is an activating breathwork practice, we gently recommend not listening while driving or operating machinery.
