The European School of Breath is a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting breathwork as a foundational pedagogical approach for individual and collective wellbeing. We use breath as a structural foundation for learning, self-regulation, and healthy social interaction—especially during childhood and adolescence, when these capacities are actively developing.

Rather than being a traditional school with classrooms and desks, we work as a collaborative and caring network of trained practitioners, educators, and partner organisations. Mindful of the saying ‘it takes a village to raise a child’, we come together around shared projects to support children, young people, and the adults who guide them, helping breathing awareness become a natural part of daily life.

Our vision

We envision a healthy, resilient, and self-aware society in which individuals—starting from a young age—can access their inner resources through breathing to support mental clarity, emotional balance, and positive social connection.

Our mission

• To work proactively with children and adolescents by promoting breathwork, hence nervous system regulation as an evidence-informed pedagogical tool that enhances learning readiness and cognitive functioning (including attention, concentration and mental clarity), emotional regulation and social competence (including empathy, cooperation, and healthy relationship skills).
• To translate breathing practices into measurable, real-life benefits that support learning, emotional resilience, and social engagement.
• To empower parents, teachers, and communities with practical training and accessible tools, so breathing awareness can be integrated into classrooms, homes, and everyday interactions.
• To contribute to European educational innovation by translating scientific knowledge into practical tools that foster healthier and more resilient learning environments.

By placing breath at the heart of cognitive and social development, we aim to support new generations in growing up more focused, emotionally balanced, resilient and connected.
