Himalayan Breathwork
& Kriya

About

Erin is a certified Himalayan Breathwork and Kriya facilitator, having trained under the guidance of Master Teachers from The Sattva Life.

Himalayan Breathwork and Kriya is a part of yoga, derived from ancient tantric traditions of the Himalayas.

The practice supports participants to harness their own breath, physical movement and targeted awareness to shift and reorganise their own internal states. Physical movement sits alongside stillness practices that can support coming into deeper states of awareness.

‘Kriya’ is a Sanskrit word meaning ‘action that leads us to evolution and growth’ and is referred to as the ‘yoga of energy’.

Benefits

This embodied practice combines a diverse range of breathing techniques, specific visualisation, focused awareness, body movement and mantra that can support in:

  • Calming the mind and body

  • Awakening/enlivening vital energy

  • Releasing stress and emotion from the body and nervous system

  • Expanding consciousness and tapping into our creative potential

  • Experiencing states of unity and deep connection with Self

  • Building self-awareness of thinking, feeling, somatic and relational experiences, as they arise

  • Enhancing states of clarity and self-compassion

  • Optimising respiratory efficiency

This integrated system can support in tapping our potential to continually grow, heal, expand and evolve in our life. 

Himalayan Breathwork and Kriya can be incorporated into a daily practice, meeting each individual where they are on their personal journey.

It offers a way of Being. An intentional, conscious way of living.

“When we choose to live with intention, we shift from simply reacting, to consciously creating a life that aligns with what truly matters to us.”

Himalayan Breathwork & Kriya for Mental Health

Erin is interested in exploring the application of somatic practices (including targeted breathwork, mantra, physical movement, intention and focused awareness) and their intersection with the treatment of mental health presentations.

Research has highlighted the positive benefits of breathwork, meditation, mantra, and somatic practices on improving anxiety, depression, thinking-patterns, cognitive functions and nervous system regulation.

These practices may foster mental health by building the ability to: up-regulate and down-regulate energy and emotions; reduce stress markers in the body; improve physical health; improve focus and attention; to become more aware of patterns of thinking, relating and being and to self-correct as desired.
