"Breath is the sacred bridge between spirit and matter and our breathing patterns are direct physical representations of our mental or emotional states. Conscious Breathwork is highly beneficial in regards to both physiological and psychological health. This work has the ability to assist us enhancing our physical health as well as finding balance/clarity and resetting/letting go of long held beliefs and thought patterns. Scientifically there is a lot happening however I feel the best way to explain it is to say that it takes us out of the box that over time, rather unknowingly we have put ourselves in. Through the vehicle of breath it affords one the opportunity to re-connect with the mind and bodies natural universal intelligence.”

“By removing that which separates us from all other living things, (our thoughts) we afford ourselves the opportunity to experience the unadulterated moment. What would happen if you simply existed in a moment without thought. Who or what would remain? The uncompromising universal intelligence within you.”

"I attended a conscious breathwork seminar with Derek in which he guided a meditation for 90 min. His music, use of essential oils, aromatic plants and guiding cues were apart of a holistic experience that for me personally was much deeper and more profound than I had anticipated. I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone. Thank you Derek for guiding me w extreme focus. I highly enjoyed the experience.”

“I have been interested in and practiced different pranayama techniques for about 10 years. What I experienced with Derek and his Conscious Breath Workshop was really an eye opener into how much deeper into practice I can delve. He holds a solid space with excellent guiding which allowed me to feel very comfortable and completely let go. I’d encourage bringing the techniques he teaches into your day to day.”
