Inspire Breathwork is a Breathwork Facilitator Training School, breathwork therapy provider and educator on Decolonial Healing and Embodied Social Justice.
Inspire Breathwork was founded on the principles of freedom and liberation. With the currents of dominant supremacy culture heavily pedalling colonialism, exploitation and disconnection, it is no wonder that disembodiment has been the only way to tolerate life's atrocities. Honouring this adaptation, and honouring the charge of history, Inspire Breathwork uses the breath to slow down.
Breathwork and embodiment brings us back into the deep remembrance of what freedom really means, remembering our souls and spirit through resilience and imagination, to remember our wisdoms.
Our commitment to this is to ensure that we reclaim our power by reclaiming our breath from the moment we lost it. The work we do honours who you are right now, honours the path you have taken and honours the path ahead. We do not walk this earth alone, we are not here by pure coincidence, we have always been people in context.
Trauma is all about speed, and here with the breath we slow everything down. We notice, we listen and we hold what is fully here.
Inspire Breathwork is about the reclamation of space, the reclamation of life, the reclamation of freedom. We can learn to improve our relationship to your history, to our inherited oppressions, to our relationship with nature and the land and the gifted wounds we have inherited through intergenerational and historical trauma. Breathwork is a powerful and safe practice to attend to these wounds.
Trauma decontextualised in an individual can look like personality. Trauma decontextualised in a family, can become family traits. Trauma decontextualised in a people, becomes culture - Resmaa Menakem

Dr. Ela Manga: Breath Science and Decoloniality
I am an integrative medical doctor committed to healing and bringing heart back into the art of medicine. My medical training was a step towards my true vocation as a facilitator of health and a catalyst for change.
My healing philosophy is based on the partnership between doctor and patient who I believe are co-creators in the journey of health. It honours the inextricable connection between body, mind, heart and nature. I work with a methodology that supports the body’s self-healing ability and that is underpinned by evidence-based principles of healing.
