Take control of your health with the power of breathing. Discover the benefits of breath hold time and how it measures the effectiveness of getting oxygen where it needs to go.
Niraj Naik is one of the world’s most sought-after breathwork instructors, Mindvalley’s resident breathwork expert, and founder of the SOMA Breath school with 1,700+ instructors globally.
A former practicing pharmacist, Niraj traded conventional medicine for holistic healing as a way to overcome ulcerative colitis: an ‘incurable’ autoimmune condition only made worse by the side-effect-laden medication prescribed to him.
Niraj found his cure through a combination of Ayurveda, yoga, nutrition, self-hypnosis, music therapy, and breathwork: a formula he and his instructors have perfected, and now share globally through the SOMA Breath school’s retreats and workshops.
Niraj’s breathwork and music sessions are a crowd favorite at Mindvalley events: and through this program, we’re thrilled to present his signature teachings to an even wider audience.
