➡️ WHY THIS COURSE UNIQUELY COMBINES BREATHWORK and MINDFULNESS?

Breathwork and Mindfulness are two core elements of all wellness tools from yoga, running to chi gong and martial arts.

As a stand-alone practices, both Breathwork and Mindfulness have strength as well as shortcomings in offering us a complete toolkit to support our health and wellbeing.

Shortcoming of each tool is being supported by the strength of the other. This is why when learned and practiced together they deliver the most effective toolkit, supporting creation of new habits and long-term change in how we look after our body and mind. Let’s have a look how these disciplines create the complete toolkit.

Breathwork

(+) is the best tool to change the nervous system and control our experiences. Delivering immediate results. So, we can turn stress into calm, tension into relaxation and being wired-up into restful sleep.

(-) Breathwork does not allow us to understand ‘under the hood’ of our experiences such as why we get stressed or triggered by certain events, while others do not?

This is where Mindfulness and Meditation tools and practices I teach will allow you to take back control from ‘auto-pilot’ (of automatic perfections and reactions that drive our experiences of stress, anxiety)

 

Mindfulness

(+) equip us with the best tools to prevent stress, worry and anxiety. It teaches us take control from ‘auto-pilot’ through awareness of awareness of ourselves and the world around us.

(-) Meditation may not be easy to practice for some, which can be an issue, especially when we have limited time (calm your nerves before an event) or need immediate result (calm an anxiety)

This is where Breathwork skills and tools I teach will allow you to take control of your experiences in real-time.

 

This is why this unique I teach has been described by “LIFE CHANGING” by  previous participants.

My own “LIFE CHANGING” experience of complete transformation from a severe stress-induced burn-out, which left me paralysed, to health is the driving force behind why I created this unique course.

In this course, you will learn the unique combination of the selected Breathwork and Mindfulness tools that transformed my own life and lives of previous course participants.

➡️  WORDS FROM OUR PREVIOUS PARTICIPANTS

Life changing

“Amazing teacher! I really enjoyed having Melike as my teacher. Learned so much from her. I have already so highly recommended her to everyone I know. It is an amazing course that changes your life”

– Eliza

 

Given me the tools to take control back from Autopilot

“A large part of my life has been functioning on autopilot in addition to having difficulties managing my own emotions, often reacting as opposed to responding.

The course has given me the tools to take back control and be consciously present in my daily tasks. I feel more alert and in tune with my own body and am able to draw on the tools throughout the day without needing a special place in which to practice mindfulness meditation.”

– Rabeya 

  

This course gave me just what I needed. It WORKS!

“At the beginning of this journey I wasn’t sure whether I should try to see a therapist to talk through some of my anxieties as I was feeling low and stressed about the world and my place in it.

I have always been interested in how the Breath affects me and I wanted to look at this in more detail. I liked that the course offered mindfulness and breathwork as this seemed a great combination. 

My mind can be over active and cause me a lot of unnecessary stress. This course has been carefully worked out and each stage connects so beautifully with the next session.

I now feel that I have some brilliant tools in my toolkit that I can draw on, a wide range of practices to suit all occasions and I am so much more mindful of so many situations that I find myself in.

My self-confidence has definitely grown and I find myself being so much kinder to myself taking time out to pause and breathe and reflect on my behaviour and how that impacts on my family and friends and out into the wider community.

I felt totally safe in the hands of a very experienced and empathetic group facilitator. Exploring myself through mindfulness and breathwork has given me just what I need at this stage in my life and hopefully for the rest of my life.

I have always been unsure about joining groups and I wasn’t sure how this would work online but from the first session I was immediately put at ease with the energy and compassion that came oozing out of Melike Hussein. 

Her presence creates a caring and calming environment and she facilitates each session with care and concern about each of the participants. 

She has an incredible zest for life and her passion and knowledge on this subject is very infectious and one can’t help be carried away by it and it WORKS !! I am very grateful to have stumbled on this amazing course and to have spent eight informative and fun filled evenings with Melike.

– Lindsey 

Strongly recommend this course

“I strongly recommend anyone feeling anxious and/or stressed in their daily life to attend this course. 

The course is a good balance between theory and practice. Breathwork and mindfulness complement each other, so it was great to learn and practice both. 

This course gives you a handy toolkit on how to manage stress and bring more joy to your life. I found the live lessons together with self-practice very useful.”

– Kadri

My self-awareness increased

“Melike gave me such an insight into how the brain works with thoughts and breaking everything down for us to understand. It has opened up so many paths for me in terms of solutions to anxiety.

Now I understand my thought process better, understand why I get anxious and know how to deal with it.”

– Henrietta 

Gained a new perspective

“I achieved a long lasting and positive change in my perspective.

Melike was an excellent teacher. She is very clear, kind and knowledgeable, delivering an excellent course”

– Daisy

Don’t worry. In this course, I will share with you specific breathing techniques to help calm your mind, allowing you effortlessly transition to meditation.

In fact, this synergy between Breathwork and Mindfulness is one of the reasons of why I brought them together in this unique course.

▪️  What if I start and then lose my motivation. What kind of motivational support this course offers?

In this course you will have plenty of support from me, your peers and though the carefully designed structure of the course. Let’s have a quick look at each of them.

  • WhatsApp support from me– you and each member of our group has direct access to me throughout the course for your questions, queries or just to sound out how your self-practice is going. This one to one support is so important to me and specifically for this reason, I keep the group size of each course intake small.
  • Support from your peers– the online learning platform I use allow group members to communicate as often as they want. You can share your experiences with the group and learn from others. A small course group offers a safe and collaborative space for us to learn and thrive together.

To have the best immersive experience, I recommend you to find a comfortable and quiet space that you will not be disturbed during this event.

During the session, you can practice the breathwork techniques in a seated position, on a chair, sofa or floor.

For one or two of the techniques, you may find it more comfortable to practice lying down. In our session, I will remind you which techniques can be practiced lying down. Please have a comfortable space to lay down and breathe. A blanket and pillow can make the your experience more comfortable.

Ahead of each LIVE Class, you will receive a WELCOME email, informing you if something specific needs to be brought to class.

▪️  What can I wear?
Wearing loose, comfortable and warm clothes – not restricting the belly and chest – are particularly suitable.
