About our guest of today:
Hello, I'm Ana, a dedicated yoga practitioner since 2018 and a passionate breathwork facilitator since 2021. My journey into breathwork has been deeply fulfilling, especially due to my past chronic breathing problems. This initial challenge made me a breathwork enthusiast, allowing me to explore, experience, and teach a broad spectrum of techniques. From clinical approaches designed to manage conditions such as asthma, insomnia, and sleep apnea to spiritual sessions aimed at achieving altered states of consciousness, I cover it all. Additionally, I offer apnea training and breathwork for enhancing physical performance.
Physical and mental performance and nature have always been central parts to my life, and this passion is vividly reflected in my teaching style. As an enthusiastic freediver and lover of the wild, I find immense joy in the underwater and natural world, which deeply influences my approach to breathwork, movement practices, and human connection. The blend of all my holistic practices has given birth to this project, TRIBU, which I am thrilled to share with you today. This project is the culmination of years of exploration, teaching, and learning. It offers a unique space where individuals can experience transformative practices, connect with nature, and foster a deeper understanding of themselves and others.
In the past two years, I've had the pleasure of organizing four retreats around Australia focused on freediving, movement practices, yoga, breathwork, and nature connection, where creating space for joy, self-liberation, and building a community has been one of the main goals. These retreats have been particularly special, featuring collaborations with record holders in the freediving community. I've also conducted over 10 events across Australia, facilitated sessions at festivals, and offered my services online and in person to everyone, from children to the elderly.
My offerings are not just about imparting knowledge but about creating transformative experiences. Each one is designed to foster a deeper connection with oneself and the natural world. I believe in the power of breath and movement to bring about profound changes in physical and mental health.
Join me on this journey of self-discovery and wellness. Whether you are looking to improve your breathing techniques, enhance your athletic performance, or simply find a deeper connection with yourself, others, or nature, my classes and retreats offer something for everyone. Together, we can explore the limitless potential of breath and movement to enrich our lives.
