The origins of breathwork can be traced back thousands of years, with deep roots in Eastern traditions. In India it formed a cornerstone of yoga through Pranayama, the regulation of breath to enhance vitality and enter deeper states of meditation. Similarly in China, Qi Gong combined breath control with movements to balance and strengthen the body's vital energy, known as Qi.

Global Resonance: Beyond the East, indigenous cultures across the world harnessed the power of breath for ritual, healing and connection to the spiritual realm. From shamanic practices to the mystical traditions of the Sufis, breathwork has been a universal tool for transcending the ordinary and accessing deeper dimensions of being.

Modern Revival: In the late 20th century, breathwork experienced a renaissance in the West. Pioneers like Dr. Stanislav Grof developed techniques such as Holotropic Breathwork (also known as conscious connected breathwork), blending modern psychology with this ancient practice, to promote healing and self-exploration. Today a myriad of breathwork styles exist, each offering unique pathways to wellness and self-discovery.
