Niraj Naik

Mindvalley trainer and founder of SOMA Breath

Niraj Naik is a pharmacist-turned-breathwork instructor and the founder of SOMA Breath, a holistic school and community that teaches science-backed breathwork techniques.

After battling ulcerative colitis with conventional medicine’s limited success, Niraj turned to holistic healing methods, including Ayurveda, yoga, nutrition, self-hypnosis, music therapy, and breathwork. This combination not only cured his condition but also formed the basis of the healing techniques taught at SOMA Breath global retreats and workshops.

Niraj’s breathwork and music sessions are also highly popular at Mindvalley events. His Breathwork for Life Quest aims to share his transformative breathwork techniques with an even larger audience, helping them achieve better health and wellness.

Credentials

Niraj’s SOMA tools are studied and highlighted in various leading educational institutions and media platforms, including Cambridge University and Yoga Magazine.

Niraj experienced a complete recovery from debilitating ulcerative colitis after rejecting his doctor’s two options: remove his colon or take an untested drug. He instead embarked on a holistic journey combining science and spiritual modalities, which now forms the basis of his SOMA Breath school.

A prolific music producer, Niraj hosts dance events around the world that combine sound therapy, breathwork, and various healing modalities to induce transcendent states. He is the lead music producer for the Wim Hof Method.
