Audio Practice - Following the Lure of the Breath

Sometimes the most supportive thing you can do is press play and be guided.

Following the Lure of the Breath

This practice is drawn from the work of Donna Farhi, whose landmark book The Breathing Book offers one of the most profound and accessible explorations of breath available in the yoga tradition. Rather than directing or regulating the breath, asking it to be deeper, slower, or more controlled, this inquiry simply invites you to follow the breath's own movement, to listen to where it wants to go, and to allow it to reveal what it already knows.

In a culture that approaches even the breath as something to optimise and improve, there is something quietly radical about this practice. The breath, Farhi reminds us, has been breathing us long before we took any interest in it. It carries its own intelligence, its own rhythm, its own instinct for restoration. When we stop managing it and simply follow with curiosity, receptivity, and without agenda, something in the body tends to soften, deepen, and find its own way back to ease.

This recording is an invitation into that quality of listening. Come with no expectations and nothing to achieve. Simply follow the lure of the breath and see where it leads.
