Your breath isn’t just automatic – it’s intelligent.
Breathwork can ground you, energise you, and even help you heal the deepest parts of yourself.
There are so many styles – in fact you may use more than one style within the scope of a single session, it all depends on what you’re trying to achieve.
The styles / techniques I offer:
Calming and Regulating
These activate the parasympathetic nervous system (rest-and-digest).
Coherent Breathing
Slow, even breathing (around 5–6 breaths per minute). Balances the nervous system and heart rate variability.
Box Breathing (aka Square Breathing)
Inhale, hold, exhale, hold — all for equal counts (e.g., 4-4-4-4). Used by Navy SEALs to stay calm under pressure.
4-7-8 Breathing
Inhale for 4, hold for 7, exhale for 8. Deeply calming and helpful for anxiety or sleep.
Buteyko Breathing
Focuses on nasal breathing, breath retention, and reduced air intake to improve oxygen efficiency and reduce overbreathing.
Activating and Energising
These stimulate the sympathetic nervous system (fight-or-flight — in a therapeutic way).
Want to cut down on caffeine or improve athletic performance?
These are for you.
Kapalabhati (Skull Shining Breath)
A yogic breath with passive inhales and forceful exhales. Clears the mind and energises the body.
Breath of Fire
Rapid, rhythmic breath through the nose — used in Kundalini yoga to awaken energy and focus.
Oxygen Advantage
A performance-focused method using light breathing and intermittent hypoxic training (e.g. breath holds) to increase stamina and CO₂ tolerance.
Healing and Trauma Relief
These support emotional release, somatic integration, and deep inner work.
Conscious Connected Breathing (CCB)
A continuous, circular breath pattern without pauses between inhale and exhale. Can access altered states and release emotional blocks.
