The foundation of our health and life, each and every one of us takes around 25,000 breaths a day, without necessarily paying attention to it. Which is remarkable when you consider that how we breathe changes the way we think and feel. Long revered in countless cultures and practiced across different healing modalities across the world including here in Bali, ‘breathwork’ refers to conscious and controlled breathing. The intentional rather than passive use of breath transitions us out of our fight and flight and into the parasympathetic nervous system. A powerful tool for promoting psychological, physical, emotional, and even spiritual healing, breathwork can also engender personal empowerment.

Our resident breathwork practitioner Syddarta believes in using breathwork to achieve profound self-transformation on both physical and mental planes, “by simply practicing our most basic instinct to survive”. Trained and certified in multiple breathing disciplines, he’s able to customize each classbased on participants’ experience and personal needs. In his deeply cathartic sessions you will learn how to fast track yourself into a deep meditational state through your breath. The teachings and their transformative powers don’t stop at the shala. Sy’s breathwork toolkit can be applied to everyday life and integrated into your routine, “[enabling] you to outperform yourself every day.”
