About SOMA Breath

About SOMA Breath Work

SOMA Breath is a complete holistic system of breathwork techniques which translates fundamental Pranayama techniques which have the most scientific evidence to support their function, into a specific combination designed for therapeutic benefit. It makes them easy and accessible to anyone who would like to benefit from them. The breathwork exercises become your toolbox of techniques that you can use to prevent and treat a range of issues that may arise in your body.

Think of SOMA Breath as a means to activate your “Inner Pharmacy” through the power of your breath.

It was first developed by Niraj Naik — known as the “Renegade Pharmacist”, after he healed himself of a debilitating auto-immune disease by visiting India and submerging himself into yoga and Ayurveda (the sister science of yoga).

There is no “one size fits all”. SOMA Breath takes into account the fact that every single person is unique and may require different breathing techniques depending on their needs, especially if health related or medical. The techniques are designed to be practiced regularly, some on a daily basis, in order to bring about improvements in every aspect of your life.

SOMA Awakening

The Awakening is one of the most popular experiences the SOMA Breath offers. It literally wakes people up to their full human potential! The SOMA Awakening is inspired by the most revered Pranayama technique called Nishessha Rechaka Kumbhaka and the ancient ritual of SOMA that appears more than 50,000 times in the ancient text, the Rig Veda. The Rig Veda is the basis of modern day Hinduism and the Vedic philosophy that yoga originates from.

It is also inspired by the core breathwork technique of the Wim Hof Method, the work of Dr Prakash Malshe an Indian doctor based near Rishikesh — the birthplace of Yoga — who uses Pranayama and Yoga to treat his patients, and by Swami Ambikananda Saraswati of the Traditional Yoga Association in the UK who has one of the most popular yoga schools that teaches methods based on the earliest recorded traditional yoga practices.
