The breath. This simple yet magnificent instrument that each of us has access to, every day, generously offers a universe of potential: health and vitality, mental and physical fortitude, enlivened senses and spirit, abundant healing and connection.
 
On these pages, Breathwork Africa founder Dr Ela Manga takes us on a journey from the tip of our nose to the soles of our feet, inviting us to hold in awe what is arguably the most underrated and disregarded function of life: breathing.
 
Drawing on her philosophy of  Pneumanity  – where the essence of life and our shared humanity meet – Dr Manga has developed an integrated approach to conscious breathing that honours the ancient breathwork traditions while celebrating modern medicine and the science of anatomy.
 
On this creative journey, you will be guided to return to the wisdom of your body and mind, exploring the ‘why’ of conscious breathing while receiving an introduction to the ‘how’ of breathing techniques. You will also become privy to a broader, inclusive perspective that reminds us of the innate intelligence of our interconnected makeup and inspires us to care for it, for each other, and the planet in a ‘whole’ new way.
