Our second 'Breathe with...' of the month
Developing a deep sense of calm, even in the midst of chaos. A special live event with Matt Hill.
This was a fascinating and valuable session, teaching us how to explore our fears and tensions, and progressively showing us how they form a barrier to our perception and integration with the world around us.
We discovered ways to integrate and dissolve these fears allowing us to respond openly and engage more fully with the life before us. Giving us a tool to feel more confident and competent in our ability to remain calm under pressure.

What's it about?
The Systema approach to breathwork, in Matt's words, can be summed up as simple, functional, and accessible.
The work or practice is experiential and unlike other methods does not rely on external factors such as music or the need for a quiet relaxed environment.
In fact, Systema is designed to find this relaxed environment inside of you, even in the midst of chaos.
There are no complicated forms to memorise, and the tools learned are immediately applicable in your everyday life.
Meet Matt Hill
Matt Hill is the founder of The Systema Academy U.K. where he coaches students in all aspects of Systema Martial art.
With a background in Aikido in which he is a 5th Dan, and serving as a Captain in the Parachute Regiment, Matt's first introduction to Systema came in 2012 when he studied with Vladimir Vasiliev.
In his own words, he was 'blown away' not only by his teacher's knowledge and expertise but also by everyone he came into contact with at that time.
It was clear that Systema had a way of teaching that was able to successfully transmit a high level of skill, and Vladimir’s level of mastery was extraordinary.
Although primarily taught as a highly effective and efficient combat system, Matt realised it was so much more than that.
It is a way of living and looking at the world. The realisations and health benefit of those who learn it and its approach to Breathwork are profound.
