A layered approach to understanding the body. A somatic, breath-led practice that draws on a range of modalities to build presence, self-awareness and embodied experience. Created by Liza Al-Sady over years of research, self-exploration and refinement.
We use the Method in all our classes to give you the tools to go beyond the physical and connect somatically. There's more on our Method page: https://wetheconscious.studio/the-method

In our longer breathwork events, which run 3 to 4 times a month and range from 90 minutes to 2.5 hours. That's where the full Method comes together, with Neo-Emotional Release and Conscious Connected Breathwork, held within a sensory weave of vocal toning, curated music and aromatherapy.

We offer breathwork events and classes across the full spectrum. At one end, functional breathwork for daily life. Practical tools for when you're stressed, frazzled or overwhelmed, and for anxiety and better sleep. Things you can take with you and use anywhere. At the other, deeper transformative work through Conscious Connected Breathwork, where you can meet unprocessed emotions and release what you've been carrying. Wherever you start, the breath is where everything begins.
-
It depends which session you come to.
In our 60 minute weekly classes, you can expect to really connect to your breath and your body, calm your nervous system, and find some relief from anxiety, overwhelm and running on empty.
In our longer breathwork events, you can expect to find space with the breath to process what you've been holding onto, and to reach clarity and altered states of consciousness. A therapeutic tool, really.
Every session is different, and what you experience will change each time depending on your emotional state, stress levels, intentions and participation.

We The Conscious® Method
Is a sensory-rich, breath-led somatic practice created by Liza Al-Sady. It has been carefully designed through years of dedicated research, self-exploration, intentional reflection and refinement on the profound impact of somatic experiences and cathartic release on the mind, body and spirit.
At the heart of the Method is Conscious Connected Breathwork and Neo-Emotional Release, woven through psychosomatics, bodywork and trauma-informed facilitation. The work is held within a sensory weave of vocal toning, powerful curated music and aromatherapy, calling on every sense to activate the body's natural healing process.
It is a transformational practice that works with the body and the breath to create space for emotional regulation and stress release, allowing you to connect to the intelligence of the body and feel the full spectrum of emotions.
The Method meets the whole of you, across the physical, the mental, the emotional and the spiritual.
Emotional liberation. Reclaiming your power. Connecting to your body.
