I’m Sharyn with a Why, Founder and Curious Curator of Beyond the Breath – Online Magazine, and it gives me a huge amount of pleasure to say “Welcome to our First Edition!”

Beyond the Breath has breathwork as the golden thread in all the work we do, but then it moves beyond, into other modalities, into life and into business. It provides a validated, yet open place of safety for those curious about Breathwork to explore and indulge their curiosity. I hope you enjoy the magazine. From the wide range of articles and experiences to the beautiful contributors and the community feel.

All our contributors are trained breathwork facilitators, and you’ll find their contact details and website at the bottom of each of their articles if you’d like to contact them or follow their work. Please do comment and share your experiences too, the sense of community comes from hearing everyone’s voice. If you are an accredited Breathwork Facilitator and you’d like to contribute an article yourself, pop over HERE to submit your article for consideration and publication.

The philosophy of Beyond the Breath is as simple as ABC. Accessibility, Be kind, and Community. You’ll never be asked to sign in to read an article or post a question, isn’t it annoying when that happens?!

There is a newsletter sign up form that does require your email, however you only need to sign up if you’d like to be reminded of our work each month as new articles are added and shared. I’ll pop in with some (hopefully) interesting thoughts too as part of the newsletter.

There’s no censorship here, your experience is valid and witnessed, but so is everyone else’s, so please remember, first “Be Kind”. That’s as a contributor and as a reader sharing comments. If you begin with kindness there really isn’t a need for any other rules.

Our breath is the only unconscious bodily function that we can consciously adapt or adjust. We unconsciously breathe approx 20,000 times a day, whether waking or sleeping, and by consciously tuning in and creating a relationship with our own breath, we can impact our experience of life. 

My breath relationship began with a single conscious breath, which led me to a profound state of awareness that changed my life forever. Now, as the curious curator of Beyond the Breath, and Hybrid Course Leader for Breathing Space, I’m excited to share this life-altering practice with others. Whether by introducing you to, the reader to breathwork, or giving accredited Breathwork Facilitators a voice, or through my online programs or during my in-person events in the beautiful city of York, UK, my mission is to guide you towards a deeper connection with your breath and, ultimately, yourself.

I firmly believe that the breath holds an innate wisdom, capable of empowering us and helping us understand our place in the world. By cultivating a relationship with your breath, you’ll find that you already possess everything you need to navigate life’s challenges and uncertainties with grace. 

Here in the online pages of the Beyond the Breath Magazine, we invite you to embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Through conscious breathwork, you’ll learn to tap into your inner resources, finding direction even when the path ahead seems unclear. This practice is founded on the powerful assumption that you are inherently complete, with all the tools necessary to thrive.

I invite you to explore the pages of this website and discover the adventure that awaits you. Your breath is a gateway to transformation, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Are you ready to begin this extraordinary journey? Let’s take our first conscious breath together.

With much love and excitement for what lies ahead,
