About Alessio

I'm a Certified Breathwork Instructor and meditation teacher. I help people who can't switch off slow down, reconnect with their breath, and find their own pace.

My story

For years, I struggled with anxiety, depression and a mind that never seemed to switch off. Tired but wired. On the outside, I looked fine. On the inside, I was always on edge.

In 2020, during lockdown, I discovered breathwork. And I did what so many of us do: I went straight for the most intense techniques. Fast, hard breathing. The first time, I nearly passed out in my garden.

That day taught me something I've never forgotten: your body has its own pace. Breathwork isn't about pushing harder. It's about learning to listen to your body and understand what it needs.

That's the approach I wish someone had shown me when I first started.

How I teach

Gently. No extreme techniques, no pushing through discomfort, no forcing an experience. Just simple practices that help your body settle and your mind slow down. The practice should fit the person, not the other way around.

My training

I completed my breathwork instructor training with Michaël Bijker at Yogalap in April 2024. I've practised breathwork since 2020 and meditated every day for six years. My teaching comes from both my training and my own experience.

I'm not a doctor or a therapist, and breathwork isn't a substitute for medical or psychological treatment.
