Why this work

Your nervous system sets the ceiling for your life.

When your system lives in low-level fight-or-flight, everything costs more energy: work, relationships, even basic decisions. Breath is the fastest way in – but only if used with precision.

This is not generic “just breathe deeper”. It is tailored nervous-system retraining for your actual patterns.

  • Chronic stress, anxiety spikes or a wired-but-tired feeling.
  • Difficulty winding down at night or switching off after work.
  • Shallow chest breathing, tight diaphragm, tension in jaw or throat.
  • Overusing coffee, screens or stimulation to “push through”.
  • Wanting to use breath as a tool for performance, focus and emotional regulation.
Why this is different

Not just hype – a personalised nervous system protocol.

You can find a thousand breathwork videos online. Most of them have no idea who you are, how you breathe, or what state your system is in.

Here we actually assess your breathing and nervous system, then build a protocol that fits you – drawing from yogic pranayama, nervous system science and your own lived experience.

Breath assessment
NS regulation
Pranayama-informed
Daily protocol
  • Breath pattern diagnostics – how you breathe at rest, under stress, and when you try to relax.
  • CO₂ tolerance awareness – understanding your comfort with slower breathing and exhale length without forcing.
  • Regulation-first approach – we prioritise strengthening your “calm baseline” over chasing intense states.
  • Yogic + modern – traditional pranayama principles, adapted for real modern nervous systems.
Results

Session flow

From guesswork to a clear breath plan.

You don’t need another random technique. You need to know which breath patterns move you toward balance – and how to use them safely and consistently.

  • 1
    Assessment
    We look at your current stress load, sleep, energy and emotional patterns – and observe your natural breathing at rest.
  • 2
    Testing & exploration
    We explore different breathing rhythms (inhale / exhale length, breath holds, nose vs mouth) and see how your system responds in real time.
  • 3
    Your personal protocol
    You receive 1–3 specific practices: for daily baseline, for stress spikes, and optionally for focus / performance.
  • 4
    Integration
    We decide where in your day these practices realistically live, so they become part of your life, not just something you try once.
Who this is for

A good fit if…

  • You’re tired of living in a stressed, overstimulated state.
  • You want a calmer baseline without losing your drive or edge.
  • You’re willing to practice a short, realistic protocol most days.
  • You value a mix of yogic depth and modern nervous system understanding.

Probably not for you if…

  • You only want intense “high” experiences without long-term change.
  • You’re not open to observing your body and emotions at all.
  • You’re looking for a one-time fix instead of building a new baseline.
