Breathwork is an autonomic function that happens unconsciously, so our breathing normally does “it’s own thing”, 25.000 breaths a day. Scientific evidence shows that we can “take-over” and change the way we breathe, capturing enormous health benefits along the way, and allowing us to manually adapt our breathing to be more effective in many situations.

Our breathwork sessions or workshops provide you with personalised exercises and solutions that teach you to train your breathing to restore functional breathing and simulate altitude training for improved endurance. You can reach your health goals, whether they are for managing stress, anxiety or pain, improving sleep or digestion, or enhancing focus and sports performance. This is done through a scientific proven method, with the full knowledge of respiratory physiology, and measuring your progress as you practice.

Our training is based on the OXYGEN ADVANTAGE method, developed by renowned breathing expert Patrick McKeown.

We offer 1:1 guided breathing, bespoke sessions for groups (up to 6 people), workshops and corporate support. Key offers are for: stress and anxiety (grounding, relaxation, panic management), sports performance (nasal breathing, simulation of high altitude training for endurance), focus and exam preparation (breathing for attention, calm and focus, productivity, reducing anxiety), guided breathing for sauna and ice bath (preparation for positive stress, hormesis).

Common queries answered

Breathwork techniques and sessions have become common practice, with many offers related to dealing with trauma and emotions, as well as certain hyperventilating techniques. Our focus at Healpath is on breathing functionality and health improvement, and mainly through nasal breathing.
Breathwork can address a variety of goals (i.e reduce anxiety, improve focus, improve sleep, enhance athletic performance, mange stress, exam preparation, reduce overthinking or distractions). Training needs to be adapted to the objective(s). It is important that you choose the purpose of your breathing session or workshop to fit your needs.
There are some common physical contraindications for certain types of breathwork. These include pregnant women, recent injuries or surgeries, certain cardiovascular conditions.
Breathing can improve substantially through consistent practice and training. One guided practice can provide a good baseline, but to reach the full potential it requires extended practice beyond the sessions. You will see improvement after a session’s work, but for changes in functional patterns, you will need to change habits and train further. Initial results can be seen in weeks, more definitive results require months.
Breathing sessions will arm you with training exercises and challenges, as well as with “emergency techniques” to apply for specific circumstances (panic situations, preparation for exams or presentations, sports, insomnia)
