Working deeply and holistically, breathwork is an active meditation that uses the breath as a vehicle to release emotional debris from the body and nervous system. Breathwork is a practice that goes beyond the physical act of breathing, and instead focuses on utilizing the breath as a powerful tool to support emotional and spiritual wellbeing.
The practice involves consciously changing the pattern and depth of one's breath, with the aim of releasing pent-up emotions and tension that may be stored in the body and nervous system. By breathing deeply and fully, individuals can tap into their inner selves and access a deeper state of relaxation and clarity. This process can facilitate the release of emotional debris, enabling individuals to process and heal unresolved issues, traumas, and emotions. Ultimately, breathwork is a form of active meditation that empowers individuals to connect with their breath, and in doing so, cultivate greater awareness, balance, and harmony within themselves.
Phil Keane is a qualified functional breathing instructor, helping you to achieve better functional breathing which assists the parasympathetic/sympathetic balance in the body.
Breathwork with Phil Keane
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
but by the moments that take our breath away.

Phil Keane
Hi, my name is Phil. I’m a single father of four beautiful children, and my journey into breathwork began during one of the most challenging chapters of my life. After facing deep depression and personal struggles, I felt a strong calling to seek out practices that could not only help me heal but also allow me to show up as the best version of myself—for my children and for those around me.
Over the past 10 years, I’ve immersed myself in meditation, mindfulness, energy healing, creative arts, and other holistic practices. Through this exploration, I discovered that breathwork was one of the most powerful tools for transformation. Learning how to breathe properly became a turning point for me. It helped me reduce stress, ease feelings of breathlessness, sharpen my focus, and calm the noise in my mind. I began to feel more centered, grounded, and less reactive to life’s challenges.
These shifts have been profound and have inspired me to continue deepening my practice while sharing what I’ve learned with others. For me, breathwork is more than a technique—it’s a pathway to resilience, clarity, and connection.
After learning many breathing techniques, from Wim Hoff, Shamanic style, pranayama, etc. I became a functional breathing instructor through Oxygen Advantage, under the instruction of Patrick McKeown. This course really assisted me with the foundations of optimal breathing functionality and becoming more self-aware of my inner world to help me navigate my outer world.
Come play and discover the power of functional breathing. It’s not what you’ve got to lose, it’s what you’ve got to gain.
Much love, Phil
