A passionate facilitator of breathwork for both peak performance and recovery; Anna has developed The Selah Technique to teach clients to understand the balance between body and brain using conscious breathing and movement.
“Selah” means to stop and listen.
The Selah Technique teaches you to recognise that pause between breaths.
We offer tailored individual classes and workshops designed to improve your performance and overall well-being through the integration of breath, movement, and postural correction. Our approach is grounded in the Selah Technique, which emphasizes the importance of mindful breathing and conscious movement.
By learning to harness the power of mindful breathing and conscious movement, you can reduce stress, improve physical alignment, posture and achieve better overall health and wellness whilst improving your performance physically and mentally.
Conscious diaphragmatic breathing promotes physical, mental, and emotional health. It involves breathing deeply into the lower lungs and exhaling fully, allowing the diaphragm to expand and contract. This breathing technique activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, and promotes relaxation. It is especially important for those with respiratory issues, as it can improve lung capacity and respiratory function. Conscious diaphragmatic breathing has a profound impact on mental and emotional well-being, reducing anxiety and depression and promoting feelings of calm and relaxation. It also increases mindfulness and self-awareness, allowing us to manage our emotions and respond more effectively to stressors. By making this a regular part of our self-care routine, we can improve our overall health and well-being.
Practicing conscious breathwork assists in emotional regulation, promotes restoration and helps us enhance peak performance and manage stress.
The Selah Technique teaches us the balance between body and brain using the breath.
