Breathwork Training Vancouver

The Science of Nervous System Reset. Reclaim Calm & Control With Evidence-Based Breathing Techniques

Why Choose Specialized Breathwork Training

The Science-Based Approach

This isn’t just a trendy fad, our sessions are grounded in respiratory physiology and neuroscience. Every technique is selected based on research showing measurable effects on some pretty nerdy stuff:

Vagal tone and parasympathetic activation
Heart rate variability improvement
Stress hormone reduction
Pain perception modulation
Sleep quality enhancement

This evidence-forward service is so valuable to Vancouver professionals managing high caliber careers, performance athletes, and people recovering from injuries or chronic pain.

Personalized to Your Nervous System

You practice a range of techniques because each person's autonomic nervous system is unique. Each client responds in their own way to each breathing pattern.

Breathwork at Symmetrix is led by Dasha, Clinical Director and award-winning kinesiologist (Vancouver's Top Kinesiology Studio 2021-2022, Canadian Kinesiologist of the Year 2021). With over 11 years of clinical experience spanning from athletic training to chronic pain management, Dasha brings a unique mind-body perspective to each session.

Dasha has used breathwork in several settings, an approach evolved from working with complex chronic pain cases that weren't responding to traditional methods. Her breathwork techniques allows clients to incorporate multiple body systems in their healing.
