Andre (Conscious Community) & John (Breathwork HQ)
John Ireland is an experienced breathwork facilitator certified with Oxygen Advantage (Australia & Ireland), Apnea Survival (IPHM), Seven Directions (England, GPBA), and Breathless Expedition Masters. With over a decade of experience, John’s journey into breathwork began as a personal quest for self-discovery and inner harmony.
Breathwork has become not only a compass for navigating his own emotional landscape but also a powerful inner resource he now shares with others. By connecting with the breath, we can regulate our nervous system, bringing ourselves back into balance when life feels overwhelming or anxiety sets in. Functional breathing practices form the foundation, but it is through mindful, conscious breathing that we access deeper levels of calm, resilience, and self-awareness.
John specialises in guiding individuals and groups to use their breath as a tool for emotional release, nervous system regulation, and profound self-discovery. His sessions often integrate sound, movement, and meditation, creating a holistic approach to wellness that supports lasting transformation.
André Garraud is a Sydney-based breathwork instructor and the founder of Conscious Community, established in 2022. His journey began after discovering the transformative power of conscious breathing and winter ocean swims, inspiring him to create a space for connection, growth, and resilience.
As a qualified instructor under Apnea Survival Cold Water Immersion, BreathFX, Breathless Expeditions Level 2, and certified with both Oxygen Advantage and Buteyko, André brings a wealth of expertise to his workshops and events. He believes the breath serves as a portal back to a regulated state, fostering greater awareness and behavioral independence. Through his facilitation, André empowers individuals to reconnect with themselves and unlock their potential.
