# Breathwork & Meditation in Altea

Breathwork and meditation on the Costa Blanca: private pranayama sessions in English for anxiety, sleep, and focus, at your home or online. €150 per session. The first conversation is complimentary.

The breath is the only autonomic function you can consciously control, making it the most direct tool you have for influencing your nervous system. Pranayama, the yogic science of breath control, has been refined over thousands of years. In these sessions, you’ll learn breath techniques that can calm anxiety in minutes, energize a sluggish body, cool you down in summer heat, and prepare you for deep meditation. You’ll then be guided into meditation practice, using the breath as an anchor to settle the mind into stillness. This is practical, portable medicine. Once you learn it, it’s yours for life.
