Welcome, I am Eleanor Mann, director of The School Of Breathwork.
My journey with Breathwork began in 2004, with a dynamic breathwork session that sparked an immediate fascination and commitment to exploring the potential of the breath.
I met my teacher Alakh Analda in 2009, and trained with her, going on to complete a Diploma in Rebirthing Breathwork Mastery. Alongside this I hold a BA of Soc Sci in Counselling, a BA in Psychology (Hons), and a Grad Dip of Child Centred Play Therapy.
Having shared Breathwork with thousands of people around the world, I now bring all of this practice wisdom to guiding others to be incredible Breathwork practitioners. It is an honour to connect with you here.
