Breathwork

Harness the power of your breath

Similar to all mental and physical skills, your breath can be trained & improve.

What is Breathwork?

Breathwork is the practice of physical and breathing exercises that lead to an improvement of respiratory capacity.

While the term is broad and encompasses breathing techniques from different disciplines NOT every breathing exercise qualifies as breathwork. In contrast many exercises have no effect on one’s respiratory capacity and will only serve as a temporary stress relief.

As breathing affects energy production and posture; breathwork will improve your mental, postural and metabolic function.

How does Breathwork work?

A typical Session:

Before you begin your journey in breathwork, I offer a free initial 20 minute session. This will allow you to get an understanding of how breathwork can assist you and myself to tailor your sessions to your needs. If I think that breathwork is not what you currently need to improve your health I will let you know during this intro call.

Your breathwork training can be broken into 2 parts – (a) Assessment of your breathing biochemistry and biomechanics. (b) Develop and apply a breathing protocol.

Breathwork can help with:

• Asthma, Bronchitis, Rhinitis

• Autism, ADHD

• Depression, Anxiety

• Cardiovascular Heath

• Cancer

• Sleeping Disorders (COPD, OSA, Insomnia)

• Neurodegenerative Conditions (Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimers)

• Stress Management

• Energy Levels

• Cognitive function

• Pain management

Areas of focus

Breathwork in London

Anxiety

Most people know intuitively how critical breathing is in periods of stress. What is often overlooked is that breathing doesn't only works as a stress relief but can equally prevent panic attacks when the appropriate training has taken place. Thinking exercises are an indispensable component of my approach.

Medical

Despite the raise in popularity of breathwork for recreational purposes its use for therapeutic reasons is still lagging. Breathing exercises can support conventional and alternative protocols not only as a stress-management tool but also by supporting the body's energy production mechanism.

Fitness

When it comes to endurance sports, the way one breathes will be critical to his performance. Breathing as well as physical exercises can improve the athletes' respiratory function on a biochemical and biomechanics level.

"I came to Anastasis looking for help on my breathing due to my diagnosis of OSA and my problems with sleep, as well as chronic muscle tightness and pain. My case is rather special because of the complicated nature of these things, and I have spoken with several specialist. Anastasis proved to have both the knowledge, and the experience, not only of the physical capacity, but also the mental side as well. He's a true master of the human body, he's honest, and direct."
