Breathwork

What is breathwork?
Breathwork is an umbrella term for a wide range of breathing techniques with one thing in common: in one way or another,
they will help you reclaim your natural breathing patterns. ​It's about practicing simple yet powerful practices in various forms, which have been a natural part of us humans and utilised since primordial times.
It's a gateway to your nervous system, and a 
potent tool for living your most vibrant and healthy life. It will help you re-ignite your life spark, de-clutter your mind and increase creative flow.  â€‹â€‹ 

Whether you want to...

Experience the feeling of getting high, awaken your senses and connect with spirit.
​
​Release stress, anxiety and trauma stored in the body.
Unlock and release emotional blockages.
Self-soothe through turbulent emotions, a panic attack or sensory over-stimulation.
Train your primary breathing muscle, the diaphragm, also known as 'the second heart'.
Increase your red blood cell count, improve your iron uptake and optimise oxygenation in everyday life; breathwork is the way.

I booked one of Hanna’s breathwork classes when I was on a spontaneous Stockholm-visit.

With her warm and welcoming energy, she guided the group through a truly magical experience!

Afterwards, I felt uplifted, energized and at peace with myself. I recommend Hanna’s sessions to everyone looking for tools to deal with stress, release energy and simply feel better.

On top of it, you are up for a real
wow-experience!

My first breathwork experience was
a surprisingly positive experience! Like giving yourself an act of love.

Hanna’s presence is calm and loving.
I felt very safe all the way through her guiding, and she leaves space for you to also steer your own way, exploring your breath.

I had an emotional journey, where I felt I had the opportunity to really practice self-love, space to pause and give room for my emotions to be felt and healed.
Afterwards  I was calm and excited at the same time, and felt lots of gratitude. 
Thank you Hanna!

My first breathwork class was at hale center in Stockholm with Hanna.

Thanks to her professional, conscious
and pedagogical approach, I instantly fell in love with breathwork.

Today, 10 months later, I have attended more than 140 breathwork sessions.

Symptoms of dysfunctional breathing patterns

Most people today have dysfunctional breathing patterns. This is a key factor behind health problems such as depression, anxiety, panic attacks, chronically high stress levels, sleep apnea and mood disorders, asthma, breathlessness, COPD, weight gain and impaired metabolism, migraines, low energy levels, sugar or food cravings, inflammation, hormonal imbalances and loss of red blood cells.

 

Simply put, your health depends upon the quality of your breath. How we breathe affects everything we do and feel.

Practising breathwork results in medically beneficial effects, and makes it possible to reverse or become free from many illnesses and chronic health conditions.

NÄMN CORONA/MASK CONSEQUENCES: The body remembers

 

Re-learning how to breathe

Poor health and chronic health conditions often stem from modern foods and a lifestyle that differs a lot from the natural environment and foods of our ancestors. This interrupts our natural breathing patterns, creates inflammation and hijacks our brains and innate stress systems.  

 

By going back to breathing as we are evolutionarily designed to do, we can reverse these problems. Your breath –and real food– can be like medicine, when used functionally. These things are something of a lost art, ever since the entrance of the agricultural society. But you have the power to re-learn your body's breathing patterns – all you need is already within you.

The science of the breath
One of Hanna's inspirations being an author and ancestral health specialist with a thing for breathwork, is the science journalist James Nestor. Follow the link below if you want to take part of his vast collection of 600 scientific studies.

​

“It was pure joy to take my time with these subjects, working alongside experts in the field, having strange new revelations about the world and our place in it, separating science from myths. It's all I thought about, all I ever wanted to do. Still is."

James Nestor, author of the book Breath

Breathwork and the ancestral perspective
In my book KETO-licious, I touch upon the topic of breathwork
in chapter IV, in which you’ll find a calming pranayama breathwork practice to get you started and guidance on where to find mouth tape for better sleep.
