Somatic Breathwork Online & in Europe

Breathwork for a nervous system with more than one gear.

One gear v4 orbit

What does a nervous system with one gear feel like?

ONE GEAR

We’re not designed to feel the same way all the time.

Explore the patterns. Hover to learn more.

Stress

Always switched on

Your mind is racing, your body feels tense, and even quiet moments can feel difficult to settle into.

Burnout

Running on empty

You’re using more energy than you seem to have available, and recovering doesn’t feel as easy as it used to.

Feeling flat

Going through the motions

You’re doing what needs to be done, but feel less engaged, curious or connected to the things you usually enjoy.

Overthinking

Caught in the same loops

You replay conversations, run through every possible outcome, and struggle to find a natural stopping point for your thoughts.

Disconnection

Feeling distant from yourself or others

You can be surrounded by people and still feel disconnected, or find it difficult to recognise what you’re feeling and what you need.

Lack of creativity

Finding it hard to see new possibilities

Ideas don’t come as easily, familiar solutions dominate, and experimentation starts to feel harder than it should.

People-pleasing

Everyone else’s needs come first

You say yes when you mean no, adjust yourself to keep the peace, or feel responsible for how everyone else feels.

Reactivity

Small things trigger big reactions

You snap, shut down or become defensive before you’ve had time to decide how you actually want to respond.

Difficulty resting

Even downtime doesn’t feel restful

You struggle to switch off, feel guilty doing nothing, or reach for another distraction the moment things get quiet.

Low capacity

Everything takes more effort

Everyday demands feel heavier, your patience wears thin more quickly, and you have less room for unexpected challenges.

Three shifts, one skill

Breath is the lever that moves you up, down and through

In, in, out

Activate

Energy on demand. Creative flow. Your spark back.

About: Intentional breathing patterns that increase energy, alertness, sensation and engagement. The intention is a shift in state: feeling more awake, energised, present or connected to your internal experience. Think energy, aliveness, mobilisation, intensity.
Key Question: What do I want to activate?
Benefits: Alertness and energy.
Release emotions.
Elevate mood.
Clarity and clear decision making.
Creative ideas and flow.
Supports a sense of presence, engagement and connection with oneself.
These are possible experiences, not guaranteed outcomes.
Time: Short: 1 to 5 minutes
Moderate: 5 to 20 minutes
Extended: 30 to 60 minutes
Frequency: Short practices can be used as needed, depending on your tolerance and the technique. Gentle techniques may suit a morning routine. More intense conscious connected or dynamic breathwork is better approached with guidance and recovery time, not as a daily default.
Considerations: Activating breathwork is not suitable for everyone. Please read the Safety & Practice Waiver for contraindications and considerations.

In, hold, out, hold

Regulate

Stress and burnout, eased. Space for a busy mind.

About: Intentional breathing patterns that influence your physiological and emotional state. Many slow the breath, create a steady rhythm or gently extend the exhale. The intention is not to force calm, but to give your body and mind a chance to find a steadier state.
Key Question: What does my system need right now?
Benefits: Lowers stress and anxiety
Supports relaxation and steadier emotional state
Creates space between a trigger and your response
Strengthens respiratory muscles
Supports cardiovascular health
Lowers blood pressure
Improves sleep
These are possible experiences, not guaranteed outcomes.
Time: Quick reset: 1 to 3 minutes
Everyday practice: 3 to 10 minutes
Longer guided practice: 10 to 20 minutes
Frequency: Can be practised daily, or whenever you notice yourself becoming tense or overwhelmed. Begin with a few minutes and build gradually if it feels comfortable.
Considerations: Breathing should stay comfortable. Avoid forcing deep breaths.
Holds are not essential. If they create air hunger, anxiety or dizziness, shorten or remove them.
If a pattern increases panic or discomfort, stop and return to normal breathing.
If you have a relevant medical condition, seek guidance before more demanding techniques.

In for 5, out for 5

Integrate

Pause long enough for it to sink in.

About: Shifting from changing your breath to observing it. You notice the natural rhythm of breathing, sensations, thoughts and emotions without needing to change or interpret them. Without integration, a shift is an experience. With it, it is a pattern you can change.
Key Question: What can I notice, feel, or understand?
Benefits: May improve awareness of bodily sensations and internal states.
Offers an opportunity to notice emotions without immediately reacting.
May support reflection and the integration of insights from a session.
Increases HRV
These are possible experiences, not guaranteed outcomes.
Time: Brief check-in: 1 to 3 minutes
Daily awareness practice: 5 to 10 minutes
Meditation, body scan or Yoga Nidra: 10 to 30 minutes or longer
Frequency: Can be practised daily, even for a few minutes. Useful after Activate or Regulate to let the experience settle. Can also be practised on its own.
Considerations: The goal is awareness, not perfect concentration or an empty mind.
If attention on the breath feels uncomfortable or increases anxiety, place it on your feet, sounds in the room or another neutral anchor.
Not every sensation or emotion needs to be interpreted as a message or acted on.
Integration does not guarantee emotional resolution.

Reviews & testimonials

“I’d tried breathwork before and honestly found it scary. This time felt completely different. I finally understood what could happen during the practice, and I felt safe and supported from start to finish. I left feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected to myself. I can’t wait to come to the next class!”

Lilian, New Zealand

“SOULBODY BREATH® guided me into the most beautiful inner space. I was so much in my heart. It felt like pure love. I’ve never experienced anything like that before, and it stayed with me for a long time after the session. I felt so grateful to have this body and this life.”

Lara, Germany

“I’ve done breathwork before, but this was in a category of its own. I didn’t have to force or push to go ‘deep.’ I was surprised how the softer breath took me into more emotional depth than I expected…this showed me a new way path into myself. I’m so thankful.”

Mohammed, Germany

“Thank you! I felt so supported the whole time. It’s like you knew when I needed support, and when I needed space. It felt so great to be there without any pressure or pushing. I loved how you asked us to follow our own body. It really a difference.”

Susanne, Germany

“This was truly amazing. The guidance was clear and calming, and I felt safe enough to let my body lead. I’m coming back to this practice again and again because it helps me reconnect emotionally, physically, and spiritually…and every time it feels more embodied.”

Rachel, Netherlands

A note from Jenni

Not all breath is Equal.

You might arrive tired, wired, flat or fine. All of it is welcome here.

I teach breathwork the way I would want it taught to me: specific, safe and without pushing. You choose how far to go, including the choice to do less.

Start with the free course, and stay with what is useful.
