Every session is different, your body receives as much energy as it can handle at that exact moment, and the experience of a treatment is felt after the session as well, sometimes for days. During a session you might experience a sudden warmth or thingleing in a certain part of your body, deep relaxation, sometime people fall asleep, you can be reawakened to past life events you had forgotten, or releasing emotional burdens.

This is a one‐on‐one breathwork experience designed to help you move out of the thinking mind and into deep nervous‐system regulation, emotional release, and embodied presence.

Through intentional breathing, movement, touch and supportive spaceholding this session helps you to:
- reset stress and overwhelm
- release stuck energy and tension from the body
- access deeper clarity and inner calm
- reconnect with your body

I work with an embodied approach, grounding the nervous system, meeting emotions as they arise, and inviting self‐awareness without forcing or fixing.

This is ideal if you:
- want real nervous‐system support rather than “relaxation only”

No previous breathwork experience needed. All levels welcome.

Your mind can be your best friend, or your worst enemy. And you get to decide.

If you have a persistent inner critic or you suspect you could be happier, if only you knew how to, this class is for you. Over the past ten years, I have combined knowledge from neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and psychology with a long-term practice of meditation to solve my childhood trauma on my own. I have spent over 1500 hours in formal practice, several hundred of them in isolated retreats.

I will help you develop an understanding of your own mind that will lead you to identify and drop sources of unhappiness and get closer to your best version. Hopefully, one day you would not need me as your teacher.

Interested? Let's get in touch.

The intention is to explore yoga not only as a physical discipline, but as a coherent and transformative practice.

Each session explores the connection between movement, breath, and awareness, allowing the practice to unfold both physically and inwardly.
