Breathe was originally commissioned by the Liverpool PCT in 2012. MDI and Sense of Sound delivered dance, movement and singing classes across Liverpool for  people with Asthma, COPD and chronic pain.

Since then MDI have run more courses and classes focusing on breathing, relaxation and posture in partnership with Liverpool Improvisation Clooective, The North Liverpool Breathe Easy group and Sahir House.
