1:1 breathwork practice with a decolonial approach
The Practice of Breathwork
What is breathwork?
Most of the time, we breathe without thinking about it.Breathwork is a practice where we bring attention to our breath - breathing with intention, rather than on autopilot.
Breathwork is a way to reconnect
Our breath connects body and mind.When we bring attention to it, we start to notice what's happening beneath the surface. We become aware of things we have become disconnected from.
About Me
I'm Shika :) a British-Zambian breathwork practitioner based in London, training with Inspire Breathwork.I work with a decolonial approach, recognising how the systems we live in have shaped us to be a certain way, disconnecting us from our bodies.Breathwork is a way to reconnect and get closer to our intuition, emotion and lost wisdom. It's changed how I connect with myself and the world, and I'm grateful to be able to share it!
A Note on the Decolonial Approach
People have used breathwork across cultures for thousands of years, long before it entered the modern wellness space. A decolonial approach means acknowledging breathwork as an ancient practice that is for everyone.This approach also allows us to recognise the ways we have been shaped by expectations and systems around us.Breathwork helps us to step away from this and listen to what we actually need and want. It helps us relearn how to trust our bodies and choose what feels right for us.
My Approach
Safety
Understanding what feeling safe means to you and creating safety within your body.
Choice
Exercising your ability to make choices. Using creativity to form new paths and move away from feeling stuck.
Understanding
Expanding your understanding beyond what we’ve been taught. Awareness with curiosity, rather than judgement. Recognising your strengths.
Compassion
Starting with developing self-compassion and extending this into the way we care for each other and the planet.
Connection
Deepening the connection with yourself, others, and the world around you.
Meaning
Exploring what is important to you and how you want to move through life.
1:1 Sessions
What to expect
Each session includes space to chat about what's going on for you, as well as time to breathe and notice what the body brings up.Sessions are 90 minutes long, giving us time to go at a pace that feels right.It is a non-judgemental space. Come as you are, everything is welcome ⋆ ˚࿔
Breathwork Style
Everyone breathes differently. Sessions are collaborative, so together we'll find breath techniques that feel right for you.One of the techniques I work with is Conscious Connected Breathwork, where there is no pause between the inhale and exhale.This can shift our physiology, leading to altered states of consciousness and deeper self-awareness.

Let's Work Together
I would love to help bring breathwork into spaces where it doesn't usually reach - schools, healthcare, prisons, youth work, rehabilitation, the arts.
If you're working in one of these spaces or interested in collaborating please reach out.I'd love to hear from you!
