The weather may not be overly ‘springly’ in the UK this week but if you want to connect a little with the changing season try this.

Stand/sit outside in a quiet(ish) spot. Take a moment to listen to the birds, the wind in the trees and take a few moments to breathe. Try this breathing ratio – 4-7-8 – breathe in for steady count of 4, hold for 7, breathe out for 8.

Concentrate only on the breath and the sounds around you. Welcome to Spring!

*Do this for a long as you feel able/comfortable. If it’s only a few times round the breathing routine that’s fine.
