Nervous System Reset: A Mini Winter Retreat to Nourish and Restore
Saturday, January 25th 2025 | 14:00 – 17:30
£60pp
Welcome to the Nervous System Reset – a nurturing mini-retreat designed to provide you with a sanctuary for healing during the heart of winter. This experience has been thoughtfully curated to offer a deep reset as we arrive together in 2025, setting the tone for the year ahead.
This mini-retreat is a blend of therapeutic practices aimed at repairing the complex and intelligent fabric of your nervous system. Taking a step away from the busy pace of life and dedicating the afternoon to profound restoration and repair.
The Journey: As you arrive, we will greet you with a warming herbal tea infusion, allowing everyone to settle into the space together. The retreat begins with an educational workshop delving into the nervous system’s vital role in our physical, emotional, and hormonal wellbeing. Following this, you will ease into a gentle Somatic Movement practice with sequences designed to settle your system and calm the body. A restorative yogic breathwork session will guide you into deeper relaxation, paving the way for an immersive sound bath featuring the soothing sounds of gongs and Tibetan bowls. We will conclude the day with optional shares for integration.
The Practitioner: Jasmine has complete awe and fascination for the human body and has dedicated her life’s work to understand it. As a qualified therapeutic yoga teacher, sound therapist, and breathwork coach, Jasmine uses a somatic and trauma-informed approach to support the nervous system. Using movement to shift through the physical tension and discomfort in the tissues, breathwork to shed the emotional patterns stored in the subconscious and sound therapy to harmonise the nervous system and energy. Jasmine’s central intention is of embodiment, bringing you back to connect with yourself and reminding you of your own infinite healing potential, to bring you home.
The Space: 7Breaths Meditation Studio is two minutes from Tottenham Court Road Station, a tranquil space that provides a retreat for your senses. You will be enveloped in warmth, comforted by soft blankets, neutral tones, and gentle lighting, creating an environment designed for relaxation and healing.

SUNDAY WORKSHOP AT 7BREATHS
ELEVATE YOUR WATER: Science, Movement & Sound
Led by Claudia, Elisa & Selma
Date: Sunday 5th May 2024 10.30am-1pm
£49.46pp
We are proud to introduce this Sunday workshop in which science merges seamlessly with healing movement & sound vibrations, offering you a transformative experience.
Embark on a Holistic Wellness Journey with Structured Water, Movement, and Sound led by Claudia, Elisa and Selma.
Water isn’t merely a thirst quencher—it’s the essential element that binds our mind, body, and spirit, serving as a crucial conduit for their interconnectedness. Water not only influences our physical well-being but also plays a pivotal role in shaping our beliefs and consciousness.
THE WATER IN YOU
In Part 1 we will uncover the profound connection between water and well-being, unlocking the secrets of its dynamic nature (structured vs unstructured, the 4th phase of water) within the human biological system.
MOVING OUR WATER
In Part 2 we focus on revitalising our stagnated inner water element through flowing, water-inspired movements and conscious breathwork.
In a metaphysical sense, the water element is associated with the sacral chakra governing our emotions, creativity and zest for life.
By releasing blockages around this energy center, we will restore the flow of emotions and nurture the yin abilities of acceptance, allowance and receptivity- for a renewed passion for life.
BATHE IN SOUND
In Part 3, experience deep relaxation through the healing vibrations of a gong. Bathe in soothing waves of sound as subtle vibrations impact the water within your cells, restoring harmony and optimal resonance.
CELLULAR HYDRATION
The workshop concludes with Part 4, offering insights into how to nourish your body on a cellular level and share practical knowledge to sustain the harmonious balance achieved throughout this transformative journey.
