Lucy Spragge Yoga and breathwork in Bristol

I love creating space and building a community where we can experience the transformative process of change together…

My Approach 

When it comes to cultivating a regular practice with the breath and body I love how small acts, in the long term, can create significant change.

I'm absolutely fascinated by the altered states we can take ourselves to, where we can have autonomy over our own body. Knowing that posture, breath and stretch can change how we feel, that feelings are in the body, not in the mind, can give us autonomy over our own state of being. I believe your nervous system is adaptive, it can change. By having a still mind, we are less likely to act out or become triggered. Anxiety, fear and anger are states of contraction within the body, as this is where our feelings are. In my classes, we focus on moving these feelings out of the body, stilling the mind and reclaiming our power. This is where the transformation lies!

Breathwork connects the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual and helps build our capacity to feel what needs to be felt in any given moment.

The wellness space often focuses on regulation - and one could even call it numbing the system.Ive found it life changing to slowly build the capacity to feel and explore life's experiences in its fullness.

I’m interested in the anxious and addictive mind; the way we use mobile phones, social media , alcohol, drugs, sex the list goes on… and some of the workshops I host are centred around addiction and compulsive behaviours, as well as breath work immersions.

The reality I experience is enhanced and magnified by my practice.

For the last 2 years Iv been studying breathwork therapy rooted in decolonial healing and embodied social justice- learning and unlearning and on a journey of decolonising my ways of thinking, as the world is moving so fast and into a life style where we’re forgetting who we are.

Acknowledging that yoga has been colonised Im committed in supporting socially accessible and culturally respectful teaching.

Im committed in creating inclusive and non-dogmatic classes, workshops and events

Change is possible. Join me for a class and experience it for yourself.


My Journey 

After years of being in and out of sobriety, a pivotal point came when I completed Carolyn Cowan's Mastering The Addictive Personality in 2017. This transformative experience gave me the courage to put down my vices and really face what I was experiencing. I embraced the challenge not to numb, not to avoid, but to stay conscious of everything I was feeling, and to choose change using my own intention, body and breath.

Now 8 years sober, I understand how deeply rooted anxiety and addiction have been throughout my life. I was constantly looking for something outside myself to soothe or disassociate. I now realise how exhausting it is to live in this place. These extraordinary techniques have helped me to find my purpose, finding my medicine within me. What a gift it is to finally have the tools to bring myself out of these destructive states and now to be able to share them with others.

Having travelled extensively, including working and living in west Asia & Ibiza music feeds my practice, and the quartz crystal bowls are gently used to help relaxation.

Breathwork , embodied practices have been deeply healing and it is an honour to now be able to share these

‘’The breath has always been our medicine, we have been forced to forget it. My role is to remind you of the power of the breath and how it can help you change your life.’’ - Inspire breathwork

For my research thesis i’m currently working 1:1 with people.

I’m a breathwork and embodiment facilitator, currently at the end of my second year of training with Inspire Breathwork, which is rooted in social justice and embodied change.

I am a former addict. I have been in and out of sobriety for over 14 years and have been sober for almost 10 years. I am curious about anxious and addictive patterns. My training requires me to work with people and communities that sit close to my heart, so my research and thesis will be based on how the breath can support those experiencing anxiety and addiction.

If you are interested in working with me, I would like to invite you to an initial phone call to talk about working together.

We will work together 1:1 to understand how breathwork can support you in recovery, in the early stages of abstinence (substance, process or behavioural), or if you want to be free from addictive behaviours, including both primary and/or secondary addictions.

The findings of this research will be documented, presented and published in alignment with our confidentiality agreement. They will be shared with the breathwork community and further afield, offering insight into how breathwork can help support our process with anxiety and addiction.

This thesis will be shared globally, and you may choose to share your participation or remain anonymous, based on your preference.

The sessions can be facilitated online via Zoom or in person in Bristol.

The Structure

    As part of a reciprocity process, I acknowledge that I will be learning a lot from you. The training has also been very thorough, and I believe the participants will benefit from these sessions too.
