Whether you’re searching for breathwork exercises in Oxford or engaging in breathwork training online, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
What is Breathwork?
Breathwork exercises, both in Oxford and globally, originate from ancient Eastern traditions that have long used breath control to enhance relaxation, regulate emotions, support mental clarity and even induced altered states of consciousness. Recently, these practices have gained attention from Western medical professionals and scientists, leading to increasing scientific support for their benefits.
Breathwork training incorporates these ancient techniques and new research findings, making them accessible to individuals seeking mental and physical balance. Our minds often dwell on past events or future worries, leading to prolonged stress, which can negatively impact the body and increase the risk of various diseases. According to recent scientific studies, breathing techniques help regulate breathing patterns to trigger specific mental and physical responses, resulting in enhanced relaxation, stress management, and clarity.
What is SOMA Breath?
SOMA Breath training is a school of breathwork that is based on core ancient breathwork techniques with the strongest scientific backing. By combining ancient breathing exercises with modern ‘Breathe in Beats’ music technology, SOMA breath training harnesses the body’s innate ability to relax, heal, and rejuvenate.
A recent study from Cambridge University found that SOMA Breath training positively affects mood, reducing negative emotions like tension and confusion while enhancing positive states such as happiness and calmness.

Benefits of breathwork training
1. Reducing stress
By altering breathing patterns, you can shift from the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight) to the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest). This transition lowers cortisol levels, reducing stress and anxiety. Participating in breathwork classes enhances this effect.
2. Reducing inflammation and promoting healing
Many people believe that oxygen is essential while carbon dioxide (CO₂) is a waste product, but CO₂ plays a crucial role in oxygen utilisation through the Bohr Effect. This means an increase in CO₂ levels helps release oxygen from blood cells, allowing better tissue oxygenation, enhanced circulation, and improved healing.
3. Improving well-being and mental health
Breathwork training has been proven to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Attending a breathwork training session can help you cultivate mindfulness, resilience, and emotional balance.
4. Improving cognitive function
Breathwork training increases oxygen flow to the brain, enhancing mental clarity, energy levels, and focus. Techniques I teach in my breathwork classes stimulate endorphins, creating positive emotions and reducing stress.
5. Bringing fun and enjoyment
A combination of SOMA Breath music technology and breathwork techniques creates an immersive, enjoyable experience. Whether in a group setting or a breathwork workshop, the rhythmic breathing and uplifting SOMA Breath music make it a fun and transformational practice.
