Berlin Breathwork Journal
News, background stories, and interviews
The Berlin Breathwork Journal explores the science, personal experiences, and social perspectives surrounding a topic that people have been practicing for millennia—yet one that remains largely unexplored: the breath as a tool. Here, we bridge the gap between research and practice, personal development and global transformation.

From May 8th to 10th, 2026, we will host the Berlin Breathwork Days for the third time in cooperation with Humboldt University, bringing together various leading German and international breathwork therapists and pioneers, as well as scientists, yoga instructors, psychiatrists, and psychotherapists for breathwork sessions and lectures, to explore and experience the current status and future of breathwork.
Berlin Breathwork Days 2025
Breath is a powerful instrument. This is increasingly recognized, as impressively demonstrated by the second Berlin Breathwork Days in 2025: Measured by the number of participants and offerings, the gathering of the breathwork community was three times larger than its inaugural edition the previous year. The Berlin Breathwork Days found their new home in the breathtakingly beautiful venue, Eden in Pankow.
Reset Study of Humboldt University
We are looking for individuals between 18 and 60 years old who have no prior breathwork experience (this excludes participation in breathwork groups). They should not have a mental illness, but also not feel completely well – in short, they should be open and motivated for a wellbeing intervention that may improve their condition.
