What is SOMA Breath
SOMA Breath is a complete holistic system of Pranayama techniques, which can be arranged into different sequences depending on the type of workshop you are attending as well as tailored to your specific needs.
There is no one size fits all, and we take into account the fact that everyone is different and requires different breathing techniques depending on their needs.
SOMA Therapeutic Breathwork techniques are the core Pranayama techniques that have the most scientific evidence to support their function.
SOMA Breath is the ONLY breathwork method scientifically researched for its ability to shift brain activity, unlock peak states, and create a healthy, happy boost.

What Happens To Your Brain After SOMA 'The Awakening'?
Recent research, published by Cambridge University, reveals the profound impact of SOMA Breath on physiological and psychological well-being. This study demonstrates that SOMA Breath techniques can significantly influence autonomic nervous system function and promote a state of deep relaxation and emotional release.
Key findings from the study include:
-
Significant shifts in autonomic nervous system activity, indicating a move towards a parasympathetic (rest and digest) state.
-
Increased feelings of calm and well-being reported by participants.
-
Potential for SOMA Breath to be used as a tool for stress reduction and emotional regulation.
Building upon previous observations from the 2016 Afest event, where NASA scientists documented emotional release and deep relaxation during SOMA Breath sessions, this new research provides further scientific validation of its effectiveness.
Experience the science-backed benefits of SOMA Breath for yourself. Join our Sunday Session and discover the transformative power of your breath.

What is Breathwork?
Breathwork is far from just a passing trend. It’s an ancient practice that’s gaining renewed attention for a reason: its profound ability to impact both our mental and physical health. At its core, breathwork involves consciously altering the rhythm and depth of our breath, which directly influences our physiological and psychological state. By doing so, it cultivates well-being and helps manage stress, offering a path to balance and healing.
The science behind breathwork is rooted in its ability to regulate the autonomic nervous system (ANS)—the system that controls vital involuntary functions such as heart rate, digestion, and respiratory rate. Through mindful breathing, we can shift from the sympathetic nervous system (SNS)—the “fight or flight” response—into the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS), the “rest and digest” mode. This shift is essential for reducing stress, as it lowers cortisol levels and blood pressure, creating space for calm and relaxation.
But breathwork’s impact goes beyond the nervous system. Controlled breathing increases oxygen levels in the brain, improving cognitive function and emotional regulation. It triggers the release of endorphins—the body’s natural painkillers—which enhance mood, reduce anxiety, and support overall emotional well-being. Additionally, practices like deep diaphragmatic breathing promote lung function, increasing oxygenation throughout the body and delivering powerful physical benefits.
Research in psychophysiology shows breathwork’s efficacy in mental health. Techniques like pranayama, central to yoga, have been proven to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD. By fostering mindfulness and a heightened state of awareness, breathwork helps us process emotions and build resilience, offering a tool for profound transformation—both inside and out.
