Woodland Retreat
Friday 24th to Monday 27th September 2027
Campwell Wood(near Bath)
A weekend of breathwork, movement and gentle rest.
Switch off in the forest. Unwind, and reconnect with yourself.
Join us for a restorative weekend away from the noise of everyday life.
Through breathwork, mindful movement and deep rest, you'll learn simple, practical techniques to calm and regulate your nervous system — tools you can carry with you long after the weekend ends.
A Weekend Retreat in Functional Breathwork:
You breathe around 20,000 times a day — yet most of us have never been taught how to do it well. This weekend is about relearning the most fundamental skill you have, from the ground up.
Over the weekend, we'll work through the mechanics, the habits, and the daily practices that shape how you breathe — and how that ripples out into your energy, focus, sleep, and strength.
What We'll Cover:
Functional Breathwork The foundations — how to breathe efficiently, not just deeply. We'll break down the mechanics of a functional breath and build practices you can take home and use every day.
The Power of Nasal Breathing
Why your nose is built for breathing (and your mouth isn't). We'll explore the research and the practice behind nasal breathing, and how switching it on changes everything from oxygen delivery to nervous system regulation.
Rib Mobility
Your ribcage needs to move for your lungs to work properly. Through targeted mobility exercises, we'll free up restriction through the ribs and thoracic spine so your breath has room to expand.
Fascial Release with Coregeous
Balls Using Coregeous balls, we'll release fascial tension through the diaphragm, chest, and core — unwinding the tightness that quietly restricts your breathing mechanics without you ever noticing.
Footwork
Breath and balance start further away than you'd think. Our foot-focused sessions rebuild strength and function from the ground up, improving stability, alignment, and the connection between your feet and your breath.
Evening Wind-Down Breathwork Each evening closes with a slower, guided breathwork practice designed to calm the nervous system and set you up for deep, restful sleep.
Who This Is For:
Whether you're a breathwork newcomer, a movement practitioner, an athlete, or simply someone who wants to feel more at ease in your own body — this retreat meets you where you are. No experience necessary. Just curiosity, and a willingness to breathe differently.

Fascial release techniques to build functional, effortless breathing
Are you a runner, cyclist, rower, walker, or simply someone wanting to improve your overall health and fitness by learning to breathe functionally? This course is for you.
Do you want to improve your recovery, sleep better, and finally become better at breathing? Over 6 weeks, you'll learn the biochemistry and biomechanics of your breath, alongside fascial release practices that free up the diaphragm, ribcage, and chest — helping your body move and breathe the way it's designed to.
Each week is recorded, with short supporting videos to guide your practice — and you'll have a full year's access, so you can move through the course at your own pace and return to it whenever you need a refresher.
Together, we'll work through practices to support your nervous system, reduce breathlessness, and ease stress and anxiety from the inside out.
You'll learn the importance of breath holding and how building your CO2 tolerance improves both performance and recovery. By releasing the fascial restrictions that quietly limit so many of us, you'll discover just how much easier — and deeper — your breath can become.
Learning to breathe functionally improves your oxygen uptake, helps manage stress, and boosts your overall wellbeing — one breath, and one week, at a time.
What You'll Walk Away With

A functional breathing pattern that supports your sport, sleep, and everyday life

Practical tools to build CO2 tolerance and improve performance and recovery
