About Breathwork
The Sacred Breath Method
The Sacred Breath Method, developed by Kaya Leigh and offered through the Sacred Breath Academy, is a conscious, connected breathwork approach that emphasizes the importance of breathing through the nose and focuses on creating a trauma-informed, somatically intelligent, and safe space for breathwork journeys. The method prioritizes a gentle and nurturing approach to breathwork, advocating for "allowance over force." It encourages breathers to work with their unique physiology rather than pushing past it. The Sacred Breath Method incorporates elements such as free-form movement, sonic and somatic expression, and intentional containers to create a holistic healing experience during breathwork sessions. In summary, the Sacred Breath Method is a conscious, connected breathwork approach that advocates for nose breathing and prioritizes a trauma-informed, somatically intelligent, and safe space for breathwork journeys. It is designed to facilitate deep healing, emotional release, and spiritual exploration through the power of the breath.
Answers to your Breathwork FAQs

Breathwork is a practice where we are consciously affecting the breath. Breathwork is, like for example Yoga, an umbrella term. There are many different breathwork methods and techniques that are designed to have different effects on the body, the mind and emotions. Breathwork can be calming, activating, or healing, depending on the style or intention behind the practice.

A lot of my clients actually do Breathwork for the first time. Especially in Europe, I feel like Breathwork is not as big yet as in other parts of the world. Many people have tried Pranayama because it is taught in some Yoga classes, but Breathwork Journeys are quite different from that. Anyway, if you are a newbie, you are as welcome as anyone else in this space! Before the actual journey, you will be fully informed about the whole process and what is going to happen, and I will guide and support you throughout the whole journey. I want to create a safe and intentional space for you to meet yourself wherever you are that day and feel held throughout the entire session.

Breathwork is an amazing tool to connect with yourself on a deeper level and to peel back the layers that you have built over the years and use to protect yourself. Whatever you are facing at the moment – may it be stress, anxiety, fear, overwhelm, grief, anger, joy or a loss or direction – breathwork can bring more clarity into your life and support you to get a new perspective on things.

I am certified in a conscious connected breathwork technique called the “sacred breathwork method” which works with a nose inhale and a mouth exhale. It is a circular style of breathing, that activates the parasympathetic nervous system response, prioritizes a trauma-informed, somatically intelligent, and safe space for breathwork journeys. It is designed to facilitate deep healing, emotional release, and spiritual exploration through the power of the breath.

Everybody’s experience with breathwork is very different. It can create a deeper connection to yourself, to your body. Some experiences can be very strong on a physical level, some are more emotional, spiritual or transformational. The beautiful thing is, that the breath will bring you, whatever you are ready to deal with and support you with whatever you are facing at this moment. Apart from that: YOU ARE ALWAYS IN CONTROL of your breath.

Breathwork can have numerous benefits, including stress reduction, increased relaxation, improved focus, enhanced emotional well-being, and better physical health. It can improve your sleep, help you to have a deeper connection to your self and your body and bring you a sense of clarity and new perspectives.

Testimonials – what people are saying
„My initial breathwork journey with Julia included an in-depth intro into the specific breathing technique used in the session. Julia brings a lot of knowledge to the session and could answer all my questions I had. Due to her professionalism and calm being I felt very at ease.
After the intro we practised the proper breathing technique which Julia demonstrated for me. I was then gently guided into the journey. At first I was in my head a little as I was focused on the breathing a lot since it's a new way of inhaling and exhaling. Soon after though I experienced sensations in my body that took over and started releasing emotions. At the right times Julia helped me come back to my breath and found the right pace with me. Once I moved back to my normal breathing I had time to integrate and then relax during Savasana.
Julia gave me enough time and space to come back to the now and then offered to share my experiences which for me was a very nice way to articulate and make sense of what has come up for me.
All in all it was a great first experience for me and although it was very emotional it was all quite positive. I know that the next journeys will be even better as I get more used to the breathing techniques.“

„It was an incredible experience that was made even better with Julia’s expert guidance. It went above and beyond all my expectations and I really hope to do it again in the near future. ”

„This was my third session. Was really nice! i had a bit of a tough day with work and my mind was a bit all over the place but when i got into the session it really took over and actually got some clarity and some actionable ideas come to the front of mind so was really beneficial, turned my day around :) “
– Sam, Australia
„This was my first introduction to breathwork. I already got a lot of info to read before the session. Warm welcome when I arrived followed by an extended briefing. At the start of the session I found it difficult to copy the breathing technique. I felt like my chest was blocked. After a little while I felt it opening up. By the end of the session I started to expand to this other dimension, some floatiness I would say. I realized that I had to let go of heaviness, not holding on. Make space for joy and happiness, which is already manifested inside of me, to flow through. I feel like I just sensed the tip of the iceberg and there is so much more to discover. I'm very curious what more there is..“

„I am beyond grateful for the breathwork journey I received from you. It was an intense, healing and expanding journey into my body. I felt safe the entire time and enjoyed your cues as well as the space you held for me and my experience. I think for the first time in such a setting there were no thoughts present - just pure awareness of my body, my emotions and what I needed in the moment. THANK YOU SO MUCH for this journey - I can't wait to journey further with you!”
– Freya, Germany
„this was my third session and just as intense as the first two, this time very very visual and very deep. there were so many phenomena happening on both the physical and psychological layer that I sometimes felt like I would dissolve into some form of creative dust. to be honest it was extraordinary and also a lot haha. But I loved every second of it and could enjoy the whole process because Julia was there navigating the experience and setting the safest space. honestly, the third session felt like a travel through realms. I'm still mind blown by the different experiences and cannot wait to continue this magical and insightful work with Julia!“
