Welcome to Breathing Space.
Here, you’ll never have to walk alone.
What happened next was beyond our wildest dreams. From those humble beginnings, Breathing Space blossomed into an incredible international community. Thousands of people from all corners of the globe began practicing breathwork with us, and hundreds have graduated from our facilitator training program. Our small group has expanded into a global family, committed to spreading the healing power of breathwork as widely as possible.
Each new member brought their own story, their own pain, and their own hope for healing, contributing to a rich tapestry of shared human experience. Together, we've created a space that's not just about practicing breathwork but about supporting each other through life’s challenges.
Our journey to creating Breathing Space was born out of necessity. There was a time in 2017 when our mental health was far from good, and we felt isolated. We were in desperate search of a community and a practice that was not only open to everyone but also profoundly healing. But, no matter where we looked, it felt like such a place didn’t exist. So, driven by necessity and a deep desire for change, we decided to create what we were searching for.
Breathing Space started in the simplest way possible: a few people coming together in a church hall, offering sessions on a donation basis. That transitioned in to offering low cost yoga and breathwork retreats in beautiful Devon, UK. Our aim was to ensure that no one would be excluded because of financial barriers. We wanted breathwork to be accessible to everyone, particularly to those who needed it most but could afford it least.
Our story is a testament to the power of community and shared healing. We started Breathing Space at a low point in our lives, feeling alone and unsupported. Now, it’s a thriving international community that stands as a beacon of hope and healing. This transformation from a small, struggling group to a worldwide movement underscores what’s possible when people come together in support and kindness.
Breathing Space is more than a place to learn and practice breathwork; it’s a home for anyone seeking support, understanding, and a way to improve their mental health. Here, you’ll find an open door, a welcoming community, and the tools to start your own journey of healing.

About Benedict Beaumont
My journey into Breathwork has been as unexpected as it has been transformative. Years ago, as a high school teacher on the brink of burnout, I stumbled upon Breathwork in Ubud, Bali. That single session offered me more clarity and insight than years of meditation and yoga combined. It was a moment of awakening, realizing that the most powerful tool for change was within me all along - my breath.
Inspired by a personal need and a profound desire to share this gift, my wife Jennifer and I created Breathing Space. It began with a simple mission: to offer affordable yoga and Breathwork retreats, a sanctuary for healing and growth. Our school evolved from the enthusiastic desire of students wanting to spread the power of Breathwork further.
Breathwork has reshaped my life, allowing me to be a better partner, parent, and guide. My approach to teaching is deeply rooted in inclusivity, self-compassion, and a dash of humor. I believe in welcoming all emotions and experiences, emphasizing that enlightenment isn't a prerequisite to growth.
Our Message To You
We believe change is not only possible but within your immediate reach, as simple and profound as taking a breath. Everyone's life can be enriched by Breathwork, unlocking a path to self-discovery, healing, and empowerment. At Breathing Space, we're not just teaching Breathwork; we're fostering a community where transformation is accessible to all, no matter where you're starting from.
