“Change your breath, change your life” - you hear this everywhere. But what actually happens when we do it? In this episode, Sanni and Katja explore the seduction and shadow of breath manipulation - from traditional pranayama to the latest breathwork trends - and what gets lost when we focus on changing rather than listening and knowing first.They unpack how breath can become both a portal and a trap: a doorway into bliss, but also into dissociation, control, and spiritual bypassing. Through their own lived experiences, they question what it really means to breathe naturally and how true breathwork may not be “work” at all.The hidden cost of “change your breath, change your life”How spiritual practice can fragment rather than integrateThe difference between awareness and manipulationLosing (and finding) the ground of your own breathDissociation disguised as transcendenceWhy the most elaborate breath-manipulation practice might be doing nothing in the long run A philosophical and embodied inquiry into what happens when we stop fixing the breath and let it show us how to live instead.
