Learning how to breathe correctly at Thailand's Phuket Cleanse retreat can transform your health, reduce stress, and boost energy – all in a stunning island paradise setting. Here's more about the practice and its benefits.

Did you know that breathing deeply and consciously throughout the day can improve your mental, physical and emotional health and wellbeing? Yet most of us are what’s known as shallow breathers, using our intercostal muscles rather than our full diaphragm to draw only minimal breath into our lungs.
You can learn to breathe correctly in the Breath.Works classes and sessions that form part of the Emotional Detox programme at Phuket Cleanse, a sociable retreat set within lush gardens just inland from Nai Harn Beach. Run by a passionate team and open to people from all walks of life, it’s the only health resort in the world with its own breathwork menu, alongside detox, fitness, yoga, mindfulness and plant-based nutrition.
Breath.Works helps you use your breath for simple gains, such as reducing anxiety, improving mood and increasing energy levels, as well as more transformative benefits, including dealing with trauma, releasing emotional baggage and regulating your nervous system. Take part in fitness classes that incorporate breathing techniques to enhance your workout, go on nature hikes where breathwork improves your oxygen capacity, or join mindfulness sessions where breathing opens up a whole new world.
Breathwork sessions such as pranayama, the Wim Hof Method and Holotropic breathing are increasing in popularity around the world, and for good reason – breathwork works.
