Guided breathwork is one of the most powerful tools available for nervous system regulation. In our modern lives, many of us are experiencing information overload that shows up in the body as stress, anxiety, digestive issues, and depression. The way we breathe can change our state of being, quickly and profoundly.
In this roundup, we’re sharing the Vancouver and Lower Mainland breathwork facilitators we love and personally recommend. If you’re brand new to breathwork, this intro article explains how to start a breathwork practice, and here are free guided breathwork meditations to support you at home. That said, we always recommend booking an in-person session with a trained facilitator as your starting point. It’s the best way to learn the technique properly and receive the full benefits of this transformational practice.

Kal Prakashini
Prakashini is a renowned traditional Tantra and Kundalini Yoga teacher, who teaches Breathwork and Pranayma from a traditional lens, not the conscious connected or three-part technique offered by all of the teachers mentioned above. We’re mentioning Prakashini because she’s simply outstanding and if you have the opportunity to attend a workshop with her in Vancouver, we would highly recommend doing so, to learn about the yogic roots of breathwork and how to access life force energy to completely shift your life.
