What Is Breathwork?Breathwork is a collection of techniques that use conscious breathing patterns to influence your physical, emotional, and mental states. It goes beyond everyday breathing to tap into your body’s innate ability to heal and energise.
James Nestor, author of Breath, reveals how our modern breathing habits can lead to health issues—and how simple techniques can reverse them. Proper breathing can improve oxygen flow, calm the nervous system, and restore balance.
Nestor highlights the importance of slow, nasal, and rhythmic breathing. He emphasises that breathwork can help combat stress, anxiety, fatigue, and even chronic illness.
Developed by Dutch athlete Wim Hof, this method combines deep breathing, cold exposure, and meditation. It’s designed to build resilience, enhance energy, and strengthen the immune system.
The best approach depends on your goals. For energy and stamina? Try Wim Hof. For emotional release? Holotropic or Transformational might suit you better. As your coach, I can guide you through these options.

Working with a certified local coach means you get tailored support and a safe, welcoming environment. Plus, you avoid long travel times and can easily integrate sessions into your weekly routine. Breathwork Auckland or where ever is local to you is important. Although I have really great feedback from my online clients – it’s never quite as good as the energy when we get 2 people together.
