Breathwork Workshops
Where science meets experience.
Why breathwork?
Most of us breathe without thinking — yet how we breathe shapes everything: our nervous system, emotional range, focus, and sense of safety in our own bodies.
At Consciously Kinky, we explore breathwork not as performance, but as presence and as a way to help us deal with stressful situations.
We're offering two brand new breathwork workshops this year.
Each workshop offers a safe, inclusive space to reconnect with your breath, understand the science behind it, and use it as a bridge between body and mind.
Find out how you react to stress
Most of us react in unhelpful ways to stress.
Find out how you react, by trying our quick quiz. If you recognise that you react in maladaptive ways to stress, you can do something about it. These breathwork workshops will focus on your needs and teach you simple ways to get out of the unhelpful responses and into resourcefulness.
Workshop 1:
Breath as an Anchor
The Foundations of Breathwork
Where science meets self-awareness.
Breath as an Anchor is a three-hour, in-person workshop introducing the foundations of conscious breathwork.
It’s your chance to explore your body’s natural rhythms, understand what’s really happening inside, and learn to use your breath as a tool for calm, regulation and awareness.
This isn’t about endurance or altered states. They come later. It’s about learning to work with your body, not against it — finding steadiness, space and presence.
You’ll experience practical techniques for:
- Building awareness of your natural breathing patterns
- Understanding how breath affects your nervous system and emotions
- Learning evidence-based tools for stress, focus, and grounding
- Anchoring yourself when life feels intense
This session stands alone — and it’s the first step toward deeper breathwork practices that follow.
Who it’s for
This workshop is for anyone curious about using breathwork to support wellbeing, emotional regulation, and self-awareness.
You don’t need experience — just curiosity and a willingness to explore.
The space is kink-aware, queer-inclusive, and open to all adults (18+). Every body, every identity, every level of experience is welcome.
When and where?

Workshop 2 — Breathwork Transformation for Regulation and Insight
If Breath as an Anchor is about learning the language of breath, Breathwork Transformation for Regulation and Insight is about what happens when you let that breath lead the way.
This deeper, music-guided session invites the breath to move freely — sometimes soft and meditative, sometimes powerful and cathartic. Each person’s experience is unique: for some it’s peaceful integration, for others it can open deep emotional release and transformation.
Every journey is safely held, with grounding, integration and care at its core.
The first Breathwork Transformation workshop takes place on 14 February 2026 in Kings Cross. For more information, please visit Outsavvy.
Grounded in science
Matthew, the facilitator for these workshops, has his first degree in Physics. He can't stand the amount of mumbo-jumbo that other self-help experts talk about things like breathwork.
We did the digging on the science, so you don't have to.
Research from Cambridge, Sussex and Oxford universities shows that deliberate breath practices can lower stress and anxiety, improve emotional regulation, and even shift patterns of brain activity linked to calm and connection.
If you’d like to dig into the research behind the practice, you can explore some of the studies that inspire this work. Here are three peer-reviewed studies that have explored the world of breathwork and how it can be used.
