TRE®

SUPPORT YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM

And when the body carries the imprint of stress or past overwhelm, TRE (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) offers a natural, empowering way to release stored tension, reset the nervous system, and return to grounded vitality.

Together, these practices form a holistic path - one that supports healing, resilience, and a deeper sense of connection to yourself.

EXPLORE

Welcome to Breathe in Joy, an Oxfordshire and Hampshire based haven for whole-body, whole-being healing.

Here, ancient wisdom and modern somatic practices flow together to support your natural capacity to restore, rebalance, and reconnect.

Through Five Element Acupuncture, Facial Acupuncture, Yoga, and TRE, we create space for ease to return, tension to melt, and vitality to rise gently from within.

This is your invitation to breathe more deeply, move more freely, and feel more fully alive.

  • If I were to think of a single person that embodies yoga, in their personal life, in their professional life, it would be Aleks… She is amazing…

    Jill Rayner

  • I regard Aleks as Covid's gift to me as I first encountered her at the beginning of Lockdown 1. Her calm, insightful yet energizing approach to yoga has kept me sane during these mad days - that, and Netflix!!

    Jane D.

  • I have taken part in many different Yoga classes around Oxford and I can honestly say Aleks has been the most inspirational, encouraging and motivating yoga teacher I’ve experienced. She makes me feel so positive and as though I can achieve anything, I’ve developed not only physical strength but mental strength too during Aleks’s Yoga classes. Yoga with Aleks allows you to be entirely focused and have genuine positive reinforcement in all that you do.

    Kirstie Flynn

  • Alek's yoga classes are simply wonderful: a real treat for mind, body and soul. After each session I feel relaxed, pampered and also energized. With gently guided instruction she helps me understand my body's capacity but also teaches me that I mustn't be judgmental about my limitations, just flow, enjoy and allow.

    Jessica Williams

  • I have been practicing yoga with Aleks for over a year, both in live classes and online. Aleks is one of the most inspiring, authentic and passionate yoga instructors I have had the privilege to experience. She brings a wealth of knowledge to her classes which are varied and fun; her approach is joyful and uplifting, a combination of gentleness and strength. I have always enjoyed Vinyasa flow but Aleks has also inspired an appreciation and enjoyment of Yin (something I consider a miracle!). Alek's yoga classes are simply wonderful: a real treat for mind, body and soul. After each session I feel relaxed, pampered and also energized. With gently guided instruction she helps me understand my body's capacity but also teaches me that I mustn't be judgmental about my limitations, just flow, enjoy and allow.

    Dawn Taylor

  • I have practiced yoga with Aleks for over a year now. Aleks is very passionate about yoga and a healthy lifestyle. I love her friendly classes with a variety of postures and meditative, gentle guidance has always a positive feel good message about body, mind and soul.

    Lena Leary

  • Aleks will take you on the path of great self discovery through flawlessly composed sequences of Asanas. Everything has a purpose and you will feel instant benefits. This combined with breathing, mindfulness and self help techniques gives you the wonderful package that no one else has offered to me before. Dive as deep as you wish and she will be there to welcome you with a radiant smile. Aleks is truly an inspirational and authentic Yoga Teacher and guide.

    Anna Maria

  • Aleks is a very attentive and supportive yoga teacher. She takes you on a journey to find strength and relaxation and has an eagle eye for correcting your posture. She is bringing so much joy into my life while on the mat and also in general. Practising yoga with Aleks is a great experience I can recommend to everyone, no matter what your ability level is.

    Luiza Piekarniak

  • I love doing yoga with Aleks. She puts so much thought and care into each class and always gives options when poses are demanding, which allows her to keep the flow of movement going for each member of the class no matter what level they are at. I come away from her classes feeling energised, happy and calm.  Aleks slips some humour and fun into her classes, and uses her steady voice to create a real sense of calm and commitment to the movements of yoga. She focuses on both the physical body and the subtle body - a lovely balanced practice.
