BreathFlow with Hanka - Waves Of Breath

Breath is a powerful tool for self-knowing and for actively regulating our physiology and mind. It opens infinite potential in how we live—inviting more choice, presence, and vitality. Breath reminds us that we are not just participants in life, but creators of it.

Waves Of Breath invites you to a breathflow practice designed to awaken vitality, restore inner coherence, and decompress from stress of day to day life. It weaves together modern science and ancient traditions.

Guided by a fusion of neuroscience and breathwork, this experience gently activates expanded states of awareness allowing for deeper connection with self - such as clarity, compassion, and creative flow—while honoring the nervous system’s need for safety and regulation.

Whether you're seeking stress release, inner stillness, renewed sense of purpose or ease from anxiety, this space is held with integrity and care.

The body knows. The breath listens. And in that listening, transformation unfolds.

What to expect

You’ll be guided through the entire process—no experience needed. This breathflow combines breathing to a specific count with a variety of conscious breathing techniques. Throughout the session, we’ll explore different rhythms and patterns of breath to support nervous system regulation, emotional release, and greater presence.

One key element of this particular breathflow includes an activating phase designed to stimulate the sympathetic nervous system. This intentional activation helps bring built-up tension to the surface, allowing your body to release it. By doing so, you create space for a deeper sense of relaxation and calm.
