How breathwork became part of my practice
Breathwork has roots that go back thousands of years across Eastern traditions and other ancient healing practices, where breath was used for awareness, energy, and transformation. For me, the power of breath revealed itself more personally through yoga.When I first went to India in 2015 for yoga teacher training, breath was taught as Pranayama — a natural and essential part of yoga practice. At that time, we did not speak much about breathwork in the way it is often described today, with words like emotional release, healing, or nervous system regulation. It was simply part of the discipline of yoga.Still, after only a couple of weeks of practising regularly, I began to notice clear changes in myself. I needed less sleep, I felt more energised, and certain tensions in my body began to shift. At the same time, emotions started to surface in a way I had not fully understood before. I could feel that breath was affecting me on more than just a physical level.It took me a few more years to explore that more deeply and to understand breathwork beyond the traditional yoga context. Around 2020, I was drawn more directly into breathwork as a practice of its own. I began learning more about conscious connected breathing, guided breathwork, and the ways breathing can support emotional process, self-awareness, and healing.Alongside this, I also studied holistic counselling and therapeutic support (500 hrs, Holistic Institute of Estonia) to better understand emotions — both my own and those of others. This became an important part of how I work, because breathwork can open a lot in people. I wanted to be able to hold that process with more care, sensitivity, and understanding.For me, breathwork is a powerful tool because it can be both simple and deeply transformative. Some breathing practices are activating — they can help when a person feels low in energy, heavy, or stuck. Some are the opposite- slower, steadier, and more grounding, which can be helpful for anxiety, overwhelm, or hyperactivity. Each condition can have different practice and not understanding it can in rare cases cause harm.Quite honestly I do not always plan every session in a fixed way when I teach. I prefer to arrive, feel the room, sense what is needed, and guide the practice from there. Every person and every group is different, and I like to respond to what is present in that moment.I also meet many people who are simply missing clear and grounded guidance. There is a huge amount of information online, but not always in a way that feels simple or accessible. That is a reason why I am currently writing a small breathing workbook — to share what I have learned over the past decade in a way that is practical, clear, and easy to integrate into everyday life. I will announce the publication info accordingly.

I offer both group breathwork sessions and individual classes. Each individual session begins with where you are in that moment — your energy, your state of mind, your needs. From there, I guide the practice as personally and carefully as possible.Sessions can be held online, but whenever possible I prefer to meet in person. Stepping away from your usual environment can already be part of the practice — a small pause from the noise, the routines, and the demands of everyday life, so there is more space to breathe and feel without distractions.If my approach resonates with you, you are welcome to join me for a public class or a private session, or to invite me to guide a session for your group.
