ToggleThe 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

Recent research supports what practitioners have known for millennia. A 2019 study published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience demonstrated how controlled breathing practices can:

Physical Healing Through Breath
“I was shocked.
As a former D1 athlete,
I’d tried everything for my chronic back pain

But after just one Zen Strength breathwork session with Jason,
the pain that had plagued me for years simply vanished.
It was unlike anything I’d experienced before.”
