Connected breathwork with Niels at YOGABLOOM

The session gives as much attention to the return as to the breathing itself: meditation and intention prepare the way, while integration and rest bring the practice to a close.

Let the breath become the focus of an afternoon with Niels van der Valk. Conscious connected breathwork links one breath to the next in a continuous rhythm. Niels introduces the technique and guides the practice with music, leaving space for reflection and a gentle return to rest.

Begin with an introduction, guided meditation and intention setting, then move into the connected breathing practice. Guidance and time for emotional integration lead into a grounding rest. You will also receive a playlist and simple techniques to explore in daily life.
