Breathwork with Anna

"If the breathing is at all unsettled, life is not your own." Ancestral Teacher Qiu

 
 

What is Breathwork?

Welcome to the transformative world of Breathwork – a profound journey into the art of conscious breathing designed to enhance your wellbeing and unlock your full potential.

Breathwork is an ancient practice, enriched by modern scientific understanding, centred on the powerful knowledge that how we breathe significantly impacts our quality of life.

By learning to control our breath, we can cultivate self-awareness and self-regulation, empowering ourselves to relax, energise, or find balance.

Whether through dynamic visualisation and movement or tranquility in slowing down, Breathwork offers myriad benefits: stress reduction, anxiety relief, improved sleep, increased energy, enhanced athletic performance, healing and much more.

From the natural efficiency of breathing less and through the nose, as highlighted by James Nestor, to addressing health conditions like asthma and hypertension, as explored by Dr. Buteyko, the applications of Breathwork are diverse and far-reaching. Its efficacy extends across fitness, military training, mental health, stress management and beyond, making it a versatile tool for personal transformation.

Dive into your breath's power to revitalise every cell, system, and function in your body, and embark on a path to breathe better, feel better, and live more vibrantly.

About Anna

 

"If you want to learn something, read about it. If you want to understand something, write about it. If you want to master something, teach it." ~ Yogi Bhajan

I am a trauma-informed, certified Master Breathwork Instructor, and I’ve been facilitating Breathwork since 2020. The art of conscious breathing has not only enriched my life but saved it. It re-sensitised my body, reconnected me with family and gave me purpose.

Years ago, I realised that accountability is incredibly important To and For me. Committing to personal development, coaching, and many certifications kept me accountable for years. I often thought, 'I’m going to get my money’s worth,' and said, 'I love learning with people.' But then I realised, I’m also an 'addict' to learning. So, I needed something else to keep me accountable. That became my obligation to teach.

For me, Breathwork started for myself, by myself. Over time, it rippled out to affect the people around me as they showed interest in joining me and invited me to share my practice. This, I later learned, also fit very well with my Human Design as a 'Projector.'

As my studies progressed, I obtained a Master Breathwork Instructor certification with Breathless - Australia’s leading Breathwork Training. I continue to facilitate Breathwork in short sessions, host multi-day retreats, and develop extended monthly programs. I share my experience of Breathwork not as an exercise, but as a Way of Life - also known as A Gypsy’s Edge.

Being conscious of my breathing is a form of active meditation that has significantly improved my physical, mental, and emotional health. It is a body-based therapy that has empowered me for healing, recalibration, and finding balance - a path to achieving homeostasis, the equilibrium every cell in your body strives for, accessible through the mastery of breath control.

During Breathwork sessions, you might navigate a spectrum of experiences, from physical sensations like tingling and numbness, to states of euphoria, emotional releases, psychedelic effects, breakthrough ideas, or sometimes, a profound sense of peace or nothing at all.

Each experience is a step towards unlocking your full potential, and an act of trust and surrender to a grander process.

Why Work with a Coach?

It is crucial to approach Breathwork with care, as its power - whilst life enhancing - does require responsible practice. Finding a trained coach whom you trust, not only enhances the enjoyment and effectiveness of the practice, but also ensures your health, safety, and successful integration of the experience.

These are pillars in my practice. In our modern age, the intersection of science and spirituality in the realm of Breathwork is exhilarating! Scientific research now explores Breathwork’s biochemical effects on our physiology and psychology, validating what ancient scriptures and anecdotes have long celebrated. This fusion of science, mysticism, and spirituality, excites me deeply and guides both my personal journey and my professional life.

So, I invite you to dive into Your breath's power with me, and together let's breathe our way to a more vibrant, balanced, and empowered existence!

For without our breath, what is there?

Is Breathwork for Everyone?

 

Put simply, if you’re breathing, you can Breathwork.

That’s not to say that all techniques and methods are uniformly available for all bodies and circumstances.

There are health contraindications to be aware of and traumas to be sensitive about.

Breathwork with Anna is a tailored experience - meeting you where you are at and supporting you every step of the way - for the benefit of your health, safety, and successful integration.

The aim of Breathwork with Anna is to make the unconscious conscious and to “create habits that then create us.” It is not a life-long prescription, but a choice to support health and empowered living.

See what people are saying…

  • Anna's knowledge is incredible and she's able to answer my questions with all this scientific backing. I highly recommend doing Breathwork with her. You can tell she takes it very seriously and is highly trained. Every time I do it on Wednesday mornings with her, it's such a beautiful way to start the day and I leave in a bliss state. She always has something amazing planned, it's just so powerful. And the space that Anna holds is cozy and safe, you feel so comfortable. When you go deep and things can be confronting, she's always there to guide you in a very safe, secure, and angelic way.

    Jourdi ~ Yoga Teacher & Empowerment Coach

  • Start your ‘breath work’ journey with Anna immediately! As a participant in my 12-week intensive Business Program for Leaders, we were all delighted to experience first hand the absolutely transformational safe space she creates - It takes literally 8 minutes for the brain to drop into the blissful and beneficial space before you experience moving through your deepest thoughts & emotions. Very cleverly, Anna customises these sessions to support Corporate Employee Wellbeing Programs - how wonderful to de-stress a whole workforce, and help them to feel in control and enjoying better health! Anna partners with other trusted practitioners and offers a variety of holistic experiences. As a business leader myself, I’d trust Anna to gently guide my team through the whole experience - it’s soulful, stirring and safe, and I highly recommend it!

    Anna Hisco ~ MBA, Master Hypnotherapist, Master NLP, TAE.

  • Ten months in and Breathwork's really had an impact on my life, a positive impact. I just feel a lot calmer and more grounded. From a training perspective for jiu-jitsu, I am just quite calm, I don't panic, and I feel like I can be grounded in my breath. And that translates into everyday life, with kids, work, and being a 'ratbag'.

    Kane ~ Jiu-jitsu athlete and Online Business Entrepreneur

  • I've done stuff online and also in person and I love the fact that she [Anna] just coaches and will talk through how to do things. Even though it takes time to learn how to do some of the tasks, she's actually there to really count on. If you need to share anything or if you've got any concerns or questions, she's always happy to answer them. It's always a delight coming to any of her Breathwork.

    Eloise ~ Returning Participant for Breathwork with Anna & PlayFest Retreat

  • I started slowly implementing it [breathwork] into my life and I feel it gives me, in combination with martial arts, it gives me this peacefulness. After every class, I have this inner peace where I feel ok, now I'm ready to start the day, now I'm ready to do all my tasks with an inner peace. Where I usually used to be kind of more erratic inside, kind of nervous sometimes, but this one [conscious breathing technique] calms me down. It's really beneficial for my daily life and for my martial arts career.

    Flo ~ Champion Jiu-jitsu Athlete and Coach

  • Anna is a vibe! She has a compelling energy. Her calm, easy, and positive attitude made exploring Breathwork a positive experience. She was able to answer any questions I had and empower me to continue working on my practice after our session.
