TransformationaL Breath® 6 Day Essentials course -levels 1-3
A fully residential breathwork retreat in Yorkshire
Six days to breathe, reconnect and discover what's possible
A fully residential breathwork retreat in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales
What if six days could give you a fresh perspective on yourself, your breathing and the way you experience life?
Join us for an immersive six-day Transformational Breath® seminar designed to help you explore the power of your breath, deepen your self-awareness and discover practical tools to support your everyday wellbeing.
This is the full Transformational Breath® Essentials programme (Levels 1–3), experienced in a heart-centred way: an intimate residential retreat with just six participants, experienced and welcoming trainers, delicious home-cooked food and the tranquillity of the Yorkshire countryside.
Whether you're curious about breathwork, looking for a deeper understanding of yourself or simply ready to take some time out to focus on you, you'll find a warm welcome here.
With only six places available, there's room to be yourself, ask questions, explore at your own pace and receive personal support throughout your journey. You'll share the experience with a small group of like-minded people, creating opportunities for genuine connection and friendships that can continue long after the retreat ends.
And there's something special about spending six days together, breathing, learning, laughing, sharing and discovering what becomes possible when you give yourself the time and space to explore.
Meet your training team
We believe that the people guiding your experience matter just as much as the programme itself. Our approach combines professional expertise, personal experience and a genuine commitment to making everyone feel welcome.
Sally Asquith — Senior Trainer
Sally is passionate about sharing the benefits of breathwork, particularly in supporting people affected by anxiety and trauma. She is the founder of Breathing in Peace CIC, a not-for-profit organisation supporting the military community.
With a background in the military and engineering, Sally brings a practical, grounded approach to her work, alongside a deep understanding of the transformative potential of breathwork. She appreciates a well-organised spreadsheet almost as much as she appreciates the right moment for a reassuring hug.
Michelle Messer — Transformational Breath Group Leader
Michelle brings her own remarkable story of recovery through breathwork, together with warmth, humour and exceptional organisational skills. Her personal experience helps her connect with participants in an authentic and approachable way, making her an integral part of the team.
Beverley Wain — Our private chef
Every good retreat needs great food! Beverley will prepare delicious home-cooked meals throughout the week, with all dietary requirements catered for. She's also becoming famous for her cakes, so there may be a few extra reasons to look forward to gathering around the table.
Together, we create a supportive environment where you can feel comfortable, cared for and encouraged to explore.
Your six-day breathwork experience
This is more than a course. It's an opportunity to step out of your usual routine and immerse yourself in a programme of breathwork, personal exploration and practical learning.
Throughout the six days, you'll experience professionally facilitated Transformational Breath® sessions, explore the relationship between your breathing and your life experiences, and discover techniques you can continue using long after you return home.
The small-group setting allows us to offer individual attention while creating space for shared learning, connection and discovery. There is time to reflect, ask questions and integrate your experiences, with the support of trainers who are there to guide you along the way.
What will you explore?
The programme includes:
- Transformational Breath® sessions: Two to three professionally facilitated sessions each day, giving you opportunities to explore your breathing and deepen your personal practice.
- Understanding your breath: Learn about breathing patterns, breathing analysis and how your breath can reflect your physical, mental and emotional experiences.
- Emotional awareness and personal patterns: Explore unconsciously held emotional charges, limiting beliefs, negative programming and family patterns.
- Inner exploration: Experience forgiveness and inner-child exercises, Dyadic Soul Communication and practices designed to support greater self-awareness.
- Breath, sound and movement: Discover toning, sound practices, breath and movement, and different ways of working with your own voice and sound.
- Water-breathing session: Experience a distinctive warm water-based breathing session adding another dimension to your exploration of breathwork.
- Different ways to work with your breath: Experience self-breathwork, partnered sessions, mirror breathwork and advanced practices exploring expanded states of consciousness.
The programme is designed to give you a rich and varied experience, with opportunities to learn, practise, reflect and discover what resonates with you.
Take home skills for everyday life
One of the most valuable aspects of the seminar is what you can take home and continue to use.
By the end of the six days, you'll have explored a range of practices and approaches to help you develop a more conscious relationship with your breathing and incorporate what you've learned into everyday life.
You'll develop a greater understanding of:
- How breathing can influence your physical and mental experience.
- How to recognise your own breathing patterns and what they may reflect.
- How everyday situations and experiences can affect the way you breathe.
- How to use breathing exercises with greater confidence and awareness.
- How to work consciously with your breath to support positive changes.
- How to give yourself a Transformational Breath® session.
- How to practise self-body mapping.
- The Five Rites daily yoga practice
- The 100 Breaths daily practice.
- How and when to use Byron Katie's The Work to explore inner conflict.
- The Abundance Programme.
You'll leave with practical tools to continue exploring your breath and supporting your personal development at home.
A beautiful place to pause and reconnect
Imagine spending six days surrounded by the peaceful beauty of the Yorkshire Dales, with time away from the usual demands of work, home and everyday life.
Our residential venue is situated near Buckden, in the heart of the Dales. Set within two acres of woodland, cultivated lawns and informal gardens, this beautiful property offers a tranquil setting in which to relax, reflect and focus on your experience.
Originally a Victorian stable block, the building has its own distinctive character. With exclusive use of the venue, our small group can enjoy a sense of privacy, space and togetherness throughout the retreat.
And because this is a fully residential experience, you don't need to organise meals, travel back and forth each day or juggle the seminar with your usual commitments.
Your tuition, residential accommodation, venue use and meals are all included in the seminar investment. Beverley will take care of the food, leaving you free to concentrate on the experience.
Is this retreat for you?
You don't need any previous experience of breathwork. Whether you're completely new to Transformational Breath® or already curious about personal development, you'll be welcomed with an open mind and encouraged to approach the experience in your own way.
All we ask is that you bring curiosity, a willingness to explore, and an openness to learning something new about yourself.
You don't need to arrive with all the answers. You simply need to be willing to begin.

The residential programme begins at 9.00 am on Sunday. You're welcome to arrive from 6.00 pm on Saturday, giving you time to settle in, meet the team and become familiar with your surroundings before the programme begins.

Six places. Six days. Space to discover what's possible.
If you've been curious about breathwork, want to deepen your personal practice or feel ready to give yourself some uninterrupted time for exploration and growth, we'd love to hear from you.
