The Breathing Practice Retreat – "Breathing Practice with Deep Meditation" with Eleanor Curtis
13.09.2025 - 19.09.2025The Breathing Practice Retreat – Breathing Practice with Deep Meditation
Breathing Practice with Deep Meditation is a welcoming and restorative retreat open to all who wish to learn and experience the benefits of guided breathwork and meditation, and those who wish to press their internal re-fresh button! Combining breathwork with meditation lets us quieten the mind and soften the heart, allowing creative thoughts to flow and giving us a feeling of ease in our sense of being. Combined breathwork and meditation is the perfect antidote to a busy life.
Starting on a Saturday evening and finishing after dinner on Thursday evening, this 6 day retreat comprises: 12 breathwork classes including 2 bedtime breathing sessions for restorative sleep and 5 guided walks and/or hikes.
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 Breathing Practice with Deep Meditation you will learn how different breathing techniques can change the way you feel and how to use breathwork to help calm the mind into a deep meditation. This in turn brings a quiet mind and mental clarity, a softened heart and a deep sense of ease within oneself.
All our retreats are tailored for small groups to encourage meaningful connections and lasting friendships.
Retreat costs includes all classes, guided hikes and walks. Hosted by the delightful Hotel Miramonte, room costs include: 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. Some classes have more emphasis on meditation whilst others emphasise breath control. For more information on Eleanor please click here.
