“I have been enjoying using some of the techniques and have had a really good outcome with, nose- low-slow, 7 steps and beach pose last week bringing a young lady with severe COPD into really good relaxation, reduced apical activity and resting Sp02 up from 92-93% to 98% on air. She was thrilled to feel rest and calm and to see that she can make a difference to her own health!” - Katherine Longhurst, UK Physiotherapist
