Emil Nylander
Yoga & Breathwork teacher
Emil’s deep interest in breathwork began as he explored the Wim Hof method which fundamentally changed his relationship to the breath as he realized how much power it truly holds.
Through his studies of the ancient yoga teachings it became very clear that the art of breathing is somewhat of a forgotten art, which is only now starting to resurface broadly. After certifying as a breath guide at Hale center where a variety of breathwork techniques are taught, he is now facilitating sessions in a safe context where the invitation is to explore ones own breath in a playful and open-minded manner.
