Ep.6: The Transformational Power of Breath | Anthony Abbagnano
Anthony Abbagnano is a teacher, breathwork practitioner, motivational speaker and the founder of Alchemy of Breath. I first came across Anthony 18 months ago following my car accident whilst searching for a healing practice to explore from the sofa. I was immediately touched by how much love he radiates out into the world and his mission to empower people to self-heal and transform using the power of breath.
In this episode we explore:
Anthony’s personal journey to breathwork, including the survival and transformation of a his own serious illness
How ancient practices like pranayama, the Sufi breathing of chanting and holotropic breathwork informed the breathwork practice Anthony created with Alchemy of Breath
How breathwork supports healing on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level.
The role of the breath in healing from trauma
Breathwork as a tool to elevate consciousness
Simple breathing techniques you can try today
The importance of conscious communities
Breathing practices as a way to restore self-awareness, love and compassion in the world
I loved speaking with Anthony so I really hope you enjoy our conversation too. As always if you can rate and review that continues to help me to spread the message of self-healing and empowerment with world.

DISCLAIMER: Breathwork is not recommended for people with certain conditions like severe asthma, epilepsy or heart problems. Pregnant women should also seek advice before trying this practice. If you are totally new to breathwork I recommend joining a local class in the first instance so you can be properly guided and supported through the practice.
