We’re a non-profit organization passionately dedicated to bringing the transformative benefits of breathwork to every individual in our society. Forget traditional classrooms and desks; we’re a vibrant community—a collective of like-minded individuals, just as Webster defines a “school”—all united by the shared belief in the profound impact of conscious breathing.
We believe today’s kids are tomorrow’s adults…
In line with this mindset, in some pioneering modern western countries, like the UK and The Netherlands, breathwork (all self-development work related with/including breathing) is introduced at schools and is supported by the governments, as well as by the parents.
Dedicated to this, hopefully global action, our VISION is to contribute to building a healthy and happy society, where the members are aware of their true powers.
Our MISSION is to work with children and create awareness in their breathing.
We achieve this by;
coaching kids use their diaphragms while breathing,
increasing their awareness and attention by the help of diaphragm breathing,
supporting them, their parents and teachers in creating relaxed, focused, healthy and happy generations.
Experience the Power of Breath with the European School of Breath!
| European School of Breath is a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting breathwork as a foundational practice for individual and collective wellbeing. Rather than functioning as a conventional school with classrooms and desks, we operate as a collaborative network of practitioners and partner organisations who convene on a project basis to advance shared goals.
Vision
– To contribute to the development of a healthy, resilient and self-aware society in which individuals understand and can access their intrinsic resources for wellbeing.
Mission
– To work proactively with children and adolescents to cultivate conscious, diaphragm-centred breathing and to translate that practice into measurable improvements in cognitive functioning and emotional and social competence.
– To support parents, teachers and communities through education and practical training so that generations become more relaxed, focused, healthy and socially engaged.
Core principles and emphasis
– Breath as the structural foundation: All programmes are structurally built upon breathwork. We regard breathing practices—especially diaphragm-focused techniques—not merely as somatic exercises but as the primary vehicle through which cognitive functions (attention, concentration, emotional regulation, mental clarity) and social capacities (empathy, cooperation, relationship skills) are developed and sustained.
– Integrated development: Breathwork is integrated with activities that promote physical coordination (dance, yoga, somatic play), emotional literacy (recognition, expression and regulation of feelings), cognitive stimulation (attention-training, meditation, sensory exercises, music) and social learning (cooperative games, communication and community participation).
Operational scope, partnerships and governance
– The European School of Breath was established by a founding group and currently maintains one active founding member engaged in core activities.
– Programmes are currently implemented primarily in Belgium within primary and secondary schools, during and after school hours. We adapt delivery to the needs and schedules of partner schools.
– We form partnerships with experts and organisations across relevant disciplines to broaden our reach and to overcome language and geographic barriers.
Commitment
– We are committed to evidence-informed, ethically delivered programmes that prioritise children’s holistic development and community wellbeing. Our aim is not simply to teach breathing techniques but to embed breath-centred practices into the social and educational environments that shape young lives. We also aim to contribute to the accessible education on the health impacts of technological developments. |
