The Breathing Practice Retreat – "Breathe to Begin Again" with Eleanor Curtis
16.03.2025. - 22.03.2025The Breathing Practice Retreat – Breathe to Begin Again
Breathe to Begin Again is a welcoming and nurturing retreat open to all who wish to learn and experience the benefits of guided breathwork and also for those seeking to negotiate relationship shifts in their lives that typically involve change and loss.
Starting on a Sunday evening and finishing after dinner on Friday evening, this 6 day retreat comprises: 12 breathwork classes including 2 bedtime breathing sessions for restorative sleep, 5 guided walks and/or hikes, and a 90 minute ‘Talking Salon’ on the theme of using breathwork to manage difficult emotions.
A typical day might include daily morning breathwork, a gentle mountain hike in the beautiful valleys, late afternoon movement and breathing practice with guided meditation, and bedtime breathing from the comfort of your own bed to close the day.
At Breathe to Begin Again you will learn how to manage your anxiety and stress, and support your own emotional healing through simple breathwork techniques that will in turn bring clarity, growth and the courage to manifest what matters most to you.
All our retreats are tailored for small groups to encourage meaningful connections and lasting friendships.
Retreat costs includes all classes, hikes and walks and a talking salon.
Hosted by the delightful Hotel Miramonte, room costs included: breakfast, light lunch and dinner comprising delicious nourishing food with vegan and vegetarian options; valley views from the dining room, yoga /spa terrace and all panoramic rooms; access to the spa and spacious spa terrace. Not forgetting the soothing sounds of Bad Gastein’s incredible waterfall, audible from nearly every room. What’s not included: spa treatments, airport transfers (transfers available on request).

About Eleanor Curtis
Eleanor Curtis is the founder of The Breathing Practice. Eleanor has a background spanning freediving, scuba diving, open water swimming, yoga, dance, meditation and photography. She also races triathlons. She brings a unique blend of techniques to her breathing practice stemming from her vast experience in the water and from her general fitness practice.
Eleanor was inspired to share the goodness and benefits of breathing practice after regular study and intensive practice of breathing optimisation techniques while training as a freediver. In establishing The Breathing Practice, Eleanor has designed classes that are a blend of breathing optimisation techniques, pranayama breathing, breath control exercises and breath awareness meditation. The classes are designed to achieve optimal well being, a deep sense of peace and relaxation, and clarity of mind, in addition to increased awareness of breathing.
