About breathwork

Breathwork uses deliberate breathing patterns to shift how we feel. Some styles calm the nervous system; others, like conscious connected breathing, open space for emotional release and insight. Pranayama from the yoga tradition sits alongside modern methods developed over the last fifty years.

Here you can find facilitators and sessions near you, compare approaches, and hear from people about what a first session was really like. If you have a heart condition, epilepsy, are pregnant or have a history of psychosis, speak to a doctor before trying intense breathwork.

Questions people ask

What happens in a breathwork session?

A facilitator guides you through a breathing rhythm, often lying down with music, for 30 to 90 minutes. People report tingling, emotion, memories or deep calm, followed by time to rest and share.

Is breathwork safe?

Gentle practices are safe for most people. Intense styles can affect blood pressure and consciousness, so practise with a trained facilitator and check with a doctor if you have medical conditions.
