HOW YOU BREATHE DEFINES HOW YOU LIVE
Unlock the power of your breath, mind, and body to heal the past and elevate your daily life
Learn from Christopher's 40+ years of combining modern science with these ancient practices:
CONSCIOUS BREATHWORK
Â
Breath is the key to unlocking the mind, body, emotions, and deeper states of awareness. Mastering conscious breathwork grants access to clarity, creative power, and transformation. It can calm the mind, enhance relationships, and interrupt harmful patterns, bringing balance to life.
MENTAL MASTERY
Â
Mind mastery goes beyond thinking—it’s about training attention, emotions, and awareness. It involves cultivating mindfulness and emotional intelligence to achieve flow, presence, and inner peace. This practice naturally leads to peak performance, deep relationships, and a life of harmony.
EMBODIED AWARENESS
Â
The body is the past tense of mind. It reflects everything you’ve experienced. Embodied awareness isn’t about control; it’s about attuning to the body's intelligence and living in the present. By unifying body and mind, you shape a conscious future and deepen emotional resilience.
Powerful practices that are the key to life and to success in all areas.
Â
Training these disciplines gives you access to awareness in your mind, body, emotions and relationships to create optimal states of flow, creativity, meaning, purpose, joy and beauty throughout our life

"One of the gifts of the first lockdown in the spring of 2020 was being able to join Christopher Gladwell’s breathwork classes live online. With lockdown I was able to have Christopher in my Italian home via video and the power of the breathwork combined with his integrated wisdom about the body, mind and spirit, asanas and meditation helped me sail through the challenges of lockdown. I have uncovered layers of bliss and letting go, contentment, authenticity and resilience not to mention many tools for consciously dealing with stress and challenges - be they personal or global."

"The gift of breath work from Christopher Gladwell is one of the best presents anyone could wish for. Who knew that the answers to so many of lives quandaries could be solved with something so simple, yet so intrinsic to our nature. The breath is forever present throughout our life. It is an in- built emotional regulator; yet we have become so jaded by life that we have lost touch with our true essence. What it is to be human. To breathe. To be born, to die. Breath work reminds us of the true inter-connected nature of life and that emotions will come and go but the breath remains. Breath work is a medicine in its own right and is hugely beneficial to our wellbeing."
Practice Excellence
Join me for 1:1 coaching in Breath and Mind Excellence
Â
Firstly, what is excellence? It is being able to:
- Accessing your potential
- Tap into your peak performance in a sustainable way, on demand.
- Fully downregulate and restore your system and stay well.
Â
Disciplined practices are essential to harness our neurobiology and biological "algorithms" and maximize our capacity for informed choice, meaningful impact, and sustained and sustainable peak performance. Too many people hit burnout, however, these practices enable you to align your evolved neural systems with the demands of your complex, modern world and find sustainability.
Our neurobiology evolved for the hunter-gatherer environment—a world vastly different from today's information-rich, attention-demanding reality. This disparity creates a mismatch between our inherited neurobiological systems and what we need to thrive now, contributing to a host of modern health challenges, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, inflammatory conditions, and dementia.
Fortunately, we have powerful tools to address this gap. Understanding and training your neurobiology, and working with it purposefully can transform how we engage with ourselves and our world. The breath, acting as the “gears” of the mind, impacts every function within the body: how you breathe shapes how you live. Mental perspectives determine our states of health or wellness; how you think and how you emote determines your ongoing well-being. Together, we will work systematically to develop breath and mental disciplines, guiding you to navigate this mismatch effectively and optimize your life.
Â
How it works
- We will start with an introductory session of 60 minutes. Book this below.Â
- Following this there will be a commitment to four sessions, each of 60 minutes spaced over an eight-week period, to give you time to embody the practices we will engage in.Â

Book NowMy Background
HOW MY JOURNEY BEGAN...
Â
Throughout childhood, I faced adversities, traumas, and wonder in nature. Rucking in the Northern Pennines, inspired by the Apache Nation, I discovered the power of breathing. This connection deepened with martial arts, especially internal ones. A major back injury, plane crash, and high-speed road crash tested me, but the principles of deep yoga and pranayama accelerated my healing. Throughout my challenges, the breath has been pivotal.
Â
WHERE IÂ WENT...
Â
I traveled globally, spending significant time in India, and learning from key mentors. For over four decades martial arts, chi kung, authentic yoga teachers, and deep Shamanic practice profoundly influenced me. I trained for twelve years under my root teacher and another twelve with another notable yoga school, before nine years with a Tibetan school. Later, I studied Breatheology with Stig Severinsen and learned from and worked with Viola Edward and others with Conscious Connected Breathing. Dr Peter Litchfield and my background in evolutionary biology, physiology, and neurobiology have also been key influences.Â
Â
WHAT I DISCOVERED...
Â
For nearly five decades, I’ve delved into yoga, martial arts, meditation, and biology, learning from esteemed teachers worldwide. My qualitative research into breathwork has shown its link to optimizing well-being, maintaining a Flow state, and navigating life with wisdom. I share the meta-disciplines, the meta-skills of mind-training, conscious breathwork, and embodied awareness as best I can into the world as tools for our collective conscious evolution.Â
Â
WHY I TEACH...
Â
The transformative power of these meta-skills, influenced and impacted me in every walk of my life. I believe everyone would benefit from accessing these life-enhancing practices. My mission is to share these, empower others, and invoke excellence in all these domains.
Now I look forward to training with you.Â
