Immerse yourself in calm, connection, and sea air.

Following the success of our first Eastbourne Breath-Body-Mind™ Fundamentals retreat in October 2025, we’re returning to the stunning Beach Studio in 2026 - where participants loved the sea views, nourishing Beach Deck lunches, and the sense of community that formed through shared BBM practice.

Join us for the 2026 retreat-style BBM Fundamentals weekend to restore, recharge, and reconnect through guided practices designed to balance body, mind, and nervous system.

About Breath-Body-Mind™ (BBM)

Developed by Drs. Richard Brown and Patricia Gerbarg, Breath-Body-Mind™ integrates breath-centred, evidence-based practices to enhance physical health, emotional balance, and stress resilience.

Over the weekend, you’ll explore:

• Breath and movement sequences

• Guided relaxation and integration practices

These trauma-sensitive, adaptable practices are designed to:

• Support calm and emotional regulation
• Boost energy, focus, and vitality
• Reduce inflammation and physical tension
• Strengthen mind–body connection

All practices can be modified to meet individual needs and mobility levels.

It’s ideal for those who prefer in-person, face-to-face events rather than online training.
