I have been practising breathwork for quite a long time now. Sometimes, it is easier than meditating, as you need to focus on your very specific breath.Â
If you are new to breathwork and want to understand a bit more about why you should do it, read WHAT IS BREATHWORK? BREATHING TECHNIQUES AND BENEFITS.
I like to practise different techniques, difficulties, and lengths depending on when I want to practice breathwork and what kind of outcome I expect. Here is a list of the best breathwork channels on YouTube I could find or have been recommended.
1. Wim HofÂ

Kinds of Breathwork: Wim Hof methodÂ
Wim Hof is known for breathwork, cold exposure, and meditation. His breathwork method focuses on fast breaths with prolonged holds.Â
I love this 11-minute, slower-paced Wim Hof Method breathing video, which starts with a 30-second hold and builds up to a 90-second breath hold. It is very suitable for beginners or anyone who prefers more gentle guidance. It is my go-to breathe YouTube video when I want quick practice with amazing results.Â
2. Othership: Sauna, Ice Baths + Breathwork

Kinds of Breathwork:Â
This is a great channel for various kinds of breathwork, from nervous system reset to energy and feeling fantastic, anxiety, deep relaxation, and more. You can find videos with three-minute to one-hour breathwork experiences. If you are new to breathwork, you will also find explanation videos on what breathwork is and how to do it properly.Â
3. Michael Bijker – Life Awareness Project
75.8 K Subscribers
Kinds of Breathwork: Breathwork, Pranayama, Meditation & QiGong
@yogalap is a very spiritual and educational channel where you can find breathwork as well as education about breathwork. I would recommend checking out Michael Bijker’s older videos, which are older than four years.Â
If you are looking to deepen your breathwork knowledge, you can buy multiple courses on the Yogalap website. What I love is that you can choose how much you want to pay for the course, starting at 10 euros.

Kinds of Breathwork: focused on psychedelics
If you are curious about deeper ways of healing and would love to try breathwork to help you dig deep and achieve psychedelic states of consciousness, you should check out this very small but different breathwork YouTube channel. The channel, created by a husband and wife duo, is a mix of podcasts, educational videos, and breathwork practice videos that are visually pleasing and educational. The channel educates about 5-MeO-DMT and other psychedelics and how to use the medicine for healing.Â

6.The Buteyko Method

Kinds of Breathwork: Buteyko Breathing
You can expect very relaxing breathwork that is very close to meditation and supported with gong, which should keep a rhythm. It’s for people who appreciate a lot of guidance in breathwork and don’t get distracted by listening to someone constantly talking. Most of the videos are graphics instead of real-person videos.

Really cool beats and graphics. This channel feels like a breathwork party that will get you energized for the day. You will be practising a breath of fire, alkaline breathing, and many more breathing techniques. It is suitable for beginners and more advanced.Â
With 154 videos on their channel at the moment, I can not wait to try many of them.
