Somatic or soma means “living wholeness”; the Greeks knew that we are one being and that, in order to live a good life, we need to hold space for and develop both body, mind and spirit.

Somatic breathwork is a healing modality that works directly with the body’s own wisdom to bring you back into alignment with yourself. Using a circular connected breathing pattern, it is designed to facilitate the full expression of emotions, the release of suppressed tension and stress in the body, and then to allow you to deeply relax, access elevated emotions and embody full presence.

“I went to the top of the mountain, shedding everything holding me back along the way, then I got to enjoy the view and see life more clearly than ever before, and finally I came home to myself and felt in my body how I can walk through the world with more joy and gratitude”.

Can be individual, couples or group journey.

Breathing is the only process in the human body that is both involuntary and voluntary. Just because breathing can be automatic, however, doesn’t mean it’s optimal. Most of us breathe too fast, too much and too shallow, not properly engaging our primary breathing muscle, the diaphragm. We also, crucially, breathe too much through our mouths, which not only bypasses the many advantages of breathing through the nose but also contributes to or exacerbates a host of health problems in and of itself.

Functional breathing is compromised in today’s day and age, due to sedentary lifestyles, increased stress levels and other adverse environmental conditions. As such, healthy functional breathing is something many of us need to re-learn.

Whether you suffer from asthma, rhinitis, snoring, sleep apnea, shortness of breath, back and neck pain, high blood pressure or stress, a functional breathing program may help alleviate your symptoms as well as improve your clarity, concentration and general well-being.
