Trailer Berlin Breathwork Days 2026: The Initiators Prof. Isabel Dziobek & Yasmine Orth.
Science meets Practice
In cooperation with Humboldt University of Berlin
Our objective is to highlight breathwork in its current development and to connect theory with lived practice.
At Humboldt University of Berlin, several research projects are currently dedicated to the fascinating field of breathwork. The central question is what transformative potential breathwork holds for the treatment of mental illnesses such as depression and trauma – and where potential risks lie. In this context, researchers focus not only on various breathing techniques but also on the crucial factors of set and setting.
Whether you want to learn more about breathwork, are just beginning to explore the world of breathing, or if you have already delved deeper into the practice, perhaps working as a therapist or coach with breathing techniques and breathwork, or researching them scientifically, then the Berlin Breathwork Days offer the perfect setting.
About the Berlin Breathwork Days
-
"It is rare for avant-garde practitioners, such as the pioneers of the German breathwork movement, to engage in an intimate exchange about the risks and immense opportunities of breathwork, free from commercial motives, as occurred at the first Berlin Breathwork Days; in other words: passion and mutual goodwill, as desired by initiator Yasmine Orth."
– Kristin Rübesamen | Founder of Yogahikes.de and Editor-in-Chief of Yogaeasy.de

You have very convincingly succeeded in moderating an appreciative dialogue that bridged worlds which might otherwise perceive themselves as overly intellectual, detached, or dry, or conversely, as too intuitive, inexplicable, or tradition-bound.

“The Berlin Breathwork Days are one of the rare spaces where our hearts are welcome, and so are our minds—where bold visions are allowed to coexist with a grounded sense of responsibility and practical implementation. Participants were truly listening to one another and respecting different perspectives. By inviting the community to gather in this way, the Berlin Breathwork Days have left us with the sense that we are not alone on this mission, and with inspiration for all the things we can grow together as a community in the coming years.”

“For me, the Berlin Breathwork Days were a vivid testament to how far breathwork has come – and how much further we still have to go. Between research, therapy, and experience, a space emerges that is simultaneously profound, transformative, and human. My biggest takeaway? That genuine connection arises when we take science seriously without losing the magic.”
– Gerjet Efken, Breathwork, Holistic Health Coach, Podcaster, Entrepreneur
The Diversity of Breathwork
At a time when many people are seeking regulation and direct access to their own bodies, the breath is once again moving into focus.
Breathwork refers to targeted breathing methods or techniques that influence the body, nervous system, and consciousness. When properly guided, breathwork can regulate stress, support emotional processes, build energy, and deepen access to inner clarity.
What was long rooted in Eastern traditions, yoga, and shamanic contexts is now being scientifically researched. Breathing techniques are applied in psychotherapy, trauma work, performance coaching, and prevention.
The Berlin Breathwork Days provide a safe, professional, and respectful space for scientifically-informed breathwork and embodied experience. By purchasing a ticket or participating, all attendees commit to our principles.
