Take a deep breath. It’s familiar advice but we seldom take it literally. But I’m giving it a great deal of attention as I stretch out on a mat with ten others in a room in Farnham, Surrey.
My head rests on a small pillow, a thin blanket covering my body.
Next to me is Suzie Poyser, a 38-year-old psychotherapist, who has driven from Manchester to attend a workshop run jointly by Anthony Dunkley, founder of the Alchemy of Breath, and Amy Rachelle, an American naturopath.
