Breath by breath we weave a new story of wellbeing
Breathwork Mastery (RBM) is a self-led practice using your natural, gentle breath and intentions in a way that feels free, creative and conscious.
This style of breathwork grew from the Rebirthing Breathwork movement of the 1960’s. Alakh Analda was initiated as a Swami and founded Breathwork Mastery after many decades of personal practice and study in styles of yoga, meditation and breathwork. Born in Australia, Alakh studied Metaphysics and trained as a metaphysician. She has witnessed countless numbers of practitioners in their process of self-mastery, resolve, clear and re-wire imprints at a cellular, subconscious level.
This work was carried forward by Eleanor Mann and The School of Breathwork. With Eleanor’s extensive research and training in psychology and the nervous system, she saw the impact this style of breathwork could have in supporting the parasympathetic state and allowing the body to calmly and safely unwind and release stored patterns and beliefs many of which are formed in the pre-verbal, early consciousness years of life or during birth.
Alakh refers to this style of breathwork as “the self revealing the self to itself.”
Breathwork Mastery sessions are guided by the breather’s own psyche rather than external frameworks, elements or intervention. The facilitators are a support for the space, trained in prompts for dialogue and over a thousand hours of session work, theory and other competencies while living fully into this work during the course of a two year in-depth diploma program. Using intentions and the breath, breathers naturally integrate and resolve early imprints so much so that it can be a surprise when they realize how much their intentions have unfolded in life with this new awareness. The breather’s process is in pace with their nervous system, safe and ready to be integrated step by step.
Breathwork Mastery is not a quick fix, but a way of living consciously and free. This practice supports self-awareness, personal responsibility, and the freedom to choose how we create our lives.
What is Breathwork Mastery?
“Rebirthing Breathwork is a conscious, connected body/breath technique which activates an inner non-mundane experience. This results in a number of internal experiences. One is where thoughts, pains, memories or feelings or energies that have been held down with the breath, are able to surface to be released, cleared or resolved. The process is freeing of limitations from previous decisions, beliefs or conditioning. “ Alahk Analda

More about Breathwork
This gentle, guided breathing practice activates your body’s natural state of healing.
Breathwork honors safety and uses a slow and gentle breath. This is not an activating breath.
This slow breathing works with the parasympathetic nervous system.
This is not about pushing, fixing, or forcing change.
It’s about slowing down… softening… and creating the conditions for awareness to unfold.
Through a process of intention + breathing + integration we get in touch with subconscious thought patterns and ways of relating to life. These can be decisions we made early on in life or in our birth process or symbolic of past lives.
We gently dissolve these beliefs and/ or we create more space to be with these very big and experiences and therefore finally receive the validation we are searching for.
This can be a brief process for some practitioners and for others it can take many years.
We can be gentle with our process and we can create the support we need now in order to live more freely and with joy and ease.
Breathwork honors subtle shifts in awareness, non-linear healing which we refer to as “our process”
My Journey
I came to breathwork after a long and complex journey of chronic illness and spiritual seeking. From a very young age, I was exposed to healing and alternative health models through my mother’s journey of recovery. This was both a blessing and a challenge to be in a constant search for better health, a cycle that was endless when it came to feeling well in my body and spirit.
Since my early adult years I began training in different healing arts and health models. I hold many certifications in healing and meditation and my work has always been to integrate spiritual practices with land-based and community healing, impacted by my years spent living and working at the Esalen Institute. I continued to circle spiritual communities skeptical and really aching to free myself of rigid frameworks until leaving Los Angeles and starting my farm —Peace of Wild in 2015. I find it requires more and more of a container now to practice wellbeing, integrating all aspects of being well~ health, wellbeing, spirituality, nature, community and to live simply and in harmony amidst the overwhelming technology age.
Through Breathwork Mastery, I have come to realize that all this searching for healing and integration was my own unique journey to resolve the spiritual experiences of my birth.
After the birth of my second son in 2022, while deep in core patterns, I found The Reconnected community (a new paradigm for parenting) and Eleanor Mann. Breathwork became my anchor while parenting and navigating my chronic health issues and caregiving for my mother. I found breathwork at the perfect time to rebuild and re-wire support and this has been a step by step process.
In 2024, I joined The School of Breathwork’s first US training. During the intensive two year curriculum, I resolved experiences I had “worked on” for years in many different therapies. During this time my mother was also close to dying. She passed away peacefully during the last months of my training. With the support of my intentions, my breathwork community and trainers, I was able to facilitate her serene transition and sit with her as she took her last breaths.
As a breathwork practitioner in training, I am honored to contribute to this work now expanding throughout the US. I sit with breathers from a place of lived experience. My love of Breathwork Mastery, this community and new paradigm leads the space. I know this work has the capacity to bring great healing to the collective and I am deeply excited to see this unfold in the coming years.
