The thread of Breath-Coherence and Connection in a Fractured World

Over dit evenement

In a world pulling us apart, breath brings us back together. Join Dr. Ela Manga in Amsterdam for an evening that weaves conversation, book signing, breathwork, and community. Discover how conscious breathing creates nervous system coherence, nurtures heart connection, and speaks across borders and beliefs as a universal human language. Leave with practices and perspectives to carry into everyday life.

Ela is committed to sharing breathwork on the African continent and further afield. Her integrated and conscious approach to wellness, alongside her unique focus on breathwork has been a catalyst for healing and change across many communities and sectors from business to education.

She is an integrated medical doctor committed to bringing heart back into the art of medicine. Her background in western medicine, study of wisdom traditions and deep curiosity has informed her unique approach to health and wellbeing.
 
Ela's second book, Umoya - The Science and Wonder of Conscious Breathing, has recently been released. It explores how to reclaim our right to breathe within the complexities of our current times. In her first book, BREATHE: Strategising Energy in the Age of Burnout, Ela discusses her approach to mental, physical, and emotional health through real-life case studies. Ancient wisdom and continuous research support her healing philosophy which is accessible and relevant to all.

Breathwork Africa is a social enterprise and community network founded by Dr Ela Manga when she saw the potential of conscious breathing as a fundamental pillar in the practice of integrative medicine. Ela felt inspired to share this tool with every person who was open to tapping into their most powerful free and available inner resource and natural technology.

Since then, with the steadfast support of Marj Murray, Simon Kehagias and a growing team of Pneumanitarians, Breathwork Africa has grown in depth and breadth. It is manifesting its vision through the art and science of Pneumanity™ breathwork as a tool of self-empowerment, healing and transformation. Through individual and group sessions, practitioner training, talks and workshops we are meeting a wide audience in Africa and globally.

We support children, students, business leaders, entrepreneurs, NGO’s, creatives, activists, educators, athletes - anyone who is committed to physical and mental health, personal growth, wellbeing and greater self-awareness.
