7:15pm (1hr)
Yin Yoga is a slow, meditative practice that targets the deep connective tissues of the body—ligaments, joints, fascia, and bones. Postures are held for longer periods (typically 3–5 minutes), allowing time to soften, release tension, and cultivate stillness. This class encourages deep relaxation, enhances flexibility, and supports deep rest to the nervous system. Suitable for all levels, Yin Yoga offers a grounding counterbalance to more dynamic practices and busy lifestyles.Saturday 9:30am (1hr)
Morning Meditative Flow is a gently energising practice designed to awaken the body and centre the mind for the day ahead. Moving with breath and intention, this flowing sequence invites you to stretch, strengthen, and soften into presence. With a focus on mindful transitions, grounding breathwork, and moments of stillness, this class offers a calm yet uplifting start to your morning. Suitable for all levels, it’s a nourishing way to align body and mind before stepping into your day.

My love of dance began at a young age, starting with baby ballet before progressing through community dance and receiving formal training from the age of 10. Having experienced first-hand the positive impact dance can have, I'm passionate about giving back to the community I grew up in by creating an inclusive, supportive environment where people can build confidence, express themselves, and experience the joy of movement.

About Alex and Returning to Breath
Offering conscious connected breathing sessions, holotropic breathwork, a range of breathing techniques, and inclusive yoga classes. Together, these practices offer gentle and grounded ways to return to the body.
Introduction to Conscious Connected and Holotropic Breathwork
Conscious connected breathwork guides my work and supports deep personal reconnection. It sits alongside holotropic breathwork sessions, breathing classes, and inclusive yoga. These practices create accessible pathways back to the body.
My Journey in Cornwall
I’m Alex, and I have lived in Cornwall for twenty years. During this time, I have worked in many community roles. For example, I have been a community development worker and a public service interpreter. I also worked as a mental health advisor for a local charity. Each role showed me our community’s strength and its need for compassionate support.
How Breathwork and Yoga Supported My Life
Alongside this work, breathwork and yoga kept me grounded and well. These practices helped me reconnect with myself during difficult times. They also supported balance, clarity, and emotional stability. I believe healing through the body is essential. Our bodies hold wisdom, and they guide us when we listen.
My Work Rooted in Conscious Connected Breathing
My work is rooted in conscious connected breathing, a gentle yet powerful approach that supports emotional release, grounding, and deeper self‑awareness. This practice sits alongside my breathwork and yoga offerings. It creates an integrated and accessible pathway back to the body.
Training in Breathwork, Holotropic Breathwork, and Yoga
Yoga and breathwork transformed my life. This transformation inspired me to train so I could share these practices. I trained as a conscious connected breathwork facilitator with Seven Directions. I also began training in holotropic breathwork, which continues to shape my path. In addition, I am a registered member of the Yoga Alliance. This membership supports high standards in yoga teaching.
How My Background Shapes My Work
My years in the mental health sector strengthened my belief in holistic care. We need support mentally, physically, and emotionally. Therefore, I now combine my community experience with embodied practices. I offer spaces where people can reconnect with themselves and breathe deeply. I feel grateful to support others on their healing journeys.
Why I Created Returning to Breath
I created Returning to Breath because I often say “Return to your breath.” I believe our journey begins with our first breath. Breath remains essential throughout life. Yet, we often forget it in busy moments. Returning to breath helps us slow down and reconnect.
Conscious Connected Breathing at the Heart of My Work
Conscious connected breathing is at the heart of my work. It guides the way I support people during breathwork sessions and inclusive yoga. These practices help people reconnect with their bodies and inner wisdom.
The Power of Breathing Classes and Breathwork
There is growing evidence that intentional breathing supports wellbeing. Breathwork can help mental, emotional, and physical health. Please see my blog for more resources. Through Returning to Breath, I offer space to reconnect with this vital part of ourselves. This work helps people find clarity, presence, and inner calm.
My Mission With Breathwork and Yoga
My mission is to guide people back to themselves. I support them in returning to their bodies and their breath. Every session invites slowing down and listening within. Each class or circle offers a gentle return home to yourself.

I’m Kate Smith, an enthusiastic ceilidh dancer, teacher and caller who enjoys encouraging others to dance. I grew up in northeast Scotland and learned to dance as a child in the kitchen at home, at school and weddings. I have been teaching ceilidh dancing and calling with ceilidh bands for 20 years, first of all in Iceland, and now mainly call with The Brim Ceilidh Band (who are fantastic) but also as a freelance caller with bands around Cornwall and Devon. I love how ceilidh and barn dancing, brings people together of all ages, interests and dancing ability, perfect for getting to know new people, celebrating special events and letting the laughter and music take you away for a while from the preoccupations of daily life.
I run regular classes at The Ladder and elsewhere around Cornwall and can also offer private classes, workshops and dance events for your family and friends.
My priorities with ceilidh dancing are having fun and encouraging everyone to join in – I think those are more important than whether you point your toes in quite the right way – though I do teach technique too. Our regular dances include classic Scottish ceilidh dancing, as well as dances from Cornwall and around the Celtic world, English ceilidh, Regency dances and dances from farther afield. A fun mixture of fast reels and jigs and gentle waltzes allow us to pace ourselves through a 1.5 hour class and we can adjust dances to help you join in, even with aches and pains, and to adapt to the experience levels of the group.
I live near Redruth with my partner and daughter. As well as ceilidh dancing, I enjoy being outside on the Cornish coast and in the woods and, when I can, I love visiting mountains and volcanoes. I enjoy music, art, dress making, cooking, bellydance and tango, ghost stories, reading travel writing, learning about different cultures and having a good chat about politics.
