A powerful integration of ancient techniques and modern science—designed to calm your system, build resilience, reset your mind, connect with pure consciousness and unlock the energy already within you.
This is breath as transformation—shifting patterns and opening space for who you are becoming – more of who you really are.
Integrated Breath is not only about the techniques—it’s about transformation. We named it Integrated Breath because we carefully integrate the breath in most of our inner work in one way or the other.
We use the breath to bring the body into safety, the heart into coherence, and the mind into clarity—so you can connect with your deeper truth and tell your subconscious what you truly want. This also greatly benefits your physical and mental/emotional health when practiced regularly.
As the breath clears the noise and dissolves tension, it basically opens a “gateway” in your nervous system. It is an opportunity to improve your physical and emotional health, and to access the deeper layers in your mind from the conscious, to the subconscious and all the way to Pure Consciousness.
You gain access to all the layers of the Flow Funnel*; the deeper states of meditation—Pure Consciousness and Universal Awareness—and from there, the layered architecture of your inner world:
your Worldview, Personal Philosophy, Roles, Values, Emotions, and Body.
Integrated Breath allows you to see the limits you’re ready to let go of—personal, familiar, social, and cultural—and gives you the inner space to choose something new. Something consciously yours.
To shift the repeating and familiar patterns. To unlock your system and optimize for a consistent state of Flow.
To come back to the truth of who you are—and who you’re becoming.

Integrated Breath weaves together a selection of powerful methods—each grounded in ancient wisdom and modern science. These tools help regulate the nervous system, release emotional tension, open the subconscious to change, and access Pure Consciousness.
Each of these methods is powerful on its own—but in integration, they offer something more.
A felt sense of wholeness. A doorway to transformation.
A way to rewire your inner system—and consciously breathe from a place of connection to who you are becoming.
Breathwork directly influences your autonomic nervous system, shifting your body from stress (sympathetic mode) into rest, repair, and recovery (parasympathetic mode). This shift has measurable effects on nearly every system in the body:
When practiced regularly and correctly, breathwork can help rebalance the body’s internal systems, support recovery from stress-related conditions, and enhance overall vitality and resilience.
In many of our breath sessions, we include breath holds. This often leads to a temporary state called Intermittent Hypoxia—a brief, controlled reduction of oxygen (O₂) and increase in carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the blood.
While this may sound counterintuitive, short periods of low oxygen have been shown to trigger beneficial adaptive responses in the body. (There are even specialized machines used in sports and rehabilitation settings to mimic this effect.)
Intermittent Hypoxic Training has been associated with:
While IHT, which means breath holds, is safe for most people, it is not recommended in the following cases unless under medical supervision. The rhythmical breathing part is good for everyone so this is when to avoid the breath hold part of the breathwork:
Key Contraindications:
