Welcome to a revolutionary approach to breathwork, where ancient wisdom meets mindful experience to create a practice that is as versatile as it is profound. Integral Breathing, developed by Dr. Milan Hosta, is a holistic, multi-dimensional system that empowers individuals to use their breath as a tool for personal transformation, resilience, and self-mastery.
Alchemy and Geometry
of Breathing
Dr. Hosta's unique methodology, detailed in his book Wisdom of Breath (published in Slovene, with an English edition forthcoming in 2025), introduces a groundbreaking approach to understanding and working with the breath. In the chapter Alchemy and Geometry of Breathing, he presents an innovative framework that deconstructs the four phases of breath into 18 distinct perspectives — spanning chemistry, physiology, deep psychology, esoterics, and much more. This approach empowers you to design the 'perfect breath' to align precisely with your context, goals, and specific needs.
Imagine breath as both an art and a science, where each inhale, exhale, and pause is intentionally crafted to nourish your body, soul, mind, and spirit. This transformative approach isn’t about following a single 'correct' technique; rather, it equips you with the knowledge and skills to adapt your breathing patterns to meet your unique needs — whether you're seeking calm, focus, energy, or deep insight into your psyche.
How Integral Breathing Works
The Integral Breathing system is built on the understanding that our breath is not one-dimensional; rather, it is a multi-layered, dynamic process that influences every part of our existence. Here’s how it works:
Breath Alchemy:
Just as an alchemist blends elements to create gold, Integral Breathing teaches you how to 'mix' the phases of breath to achieve specific outcomes. Whether you need to calm your mind, sharpen your focus, boost your energy, or prepare for a challenge, the principles of breath alchemy empower you to craft the breath that best serves your purpose in any given moment.
The Geometry of Breath:
Dr. Hosta introduces a geometric model of breath, illustrating how different 'shapes' and rhythms of breathing create distinct physiological and psychological effects. By exploring the geometry of breath, you gain a neuro-somatic framework to customize your breathing patterns and optimize your well-being.
A Pathway to Inner Alignment:
Integral Breathing goes beyond the physical, incorporating a spiritual dimension that helps you align with your inner purpose, core values, and virtues. This alignment fosters resilience and strength rooted in profound self-awareness, empowering you to face life’s challenges with clarity and composure.
