The Rise of Breathwork in Chiang Mai
A Meeting of Ancient and Modern
While breathing practices have been integral to Thai culture for centuries through meditation and yoga traditions, modern breathwork techniques have found fertile ground in Chiang Mai’s wellness landscape. The city’s unique blend of traditional wisdom and contemporary approaches creates an ideal environment for exploring the power of breath.
“Chiang Mai’s energy is unlike anywhere else I’ve practiced. There’s something special about doing breathwork here – perhaps it’s the ancient temple energy, the mountain air, or the supportive community. Whatever it is, the transformations I witness here are profound.” – Jason Ryer, Certified Breath Coach

It was unlike anything I’d experienced before.”
