What is Breathwork?

Breathwork is the intentional use of specific breathing techniques to influence your physical, mental, and emotional state.
By changing the way you breathe, you can shift your body into either a calm, relaxed state ("rest and digest") or a more activated, alert state ("fight or flight"). Each technique targets your nervous system to help you manage stress, improve focus, and build emotional resilience.

In my sessions, we also explore how breathwork can support performance (both in and out of the gym) by improving breathing mechanics, enhancing recovery, and regulating stress hormones like cortisol.

Whether you're an everyday athlete, a high-performer, or just someone looking for more balance, breathwork gives you a powerful tool to reconnect with your body and take control of your inner state.

Why Breathwork?

In today’s fast-paced world, most of us are stuck in a constant cycle of “do more, be more, achieve more.” We're conditioned to value action and efficiency above all else. And while drive and ambition are powerful tools for success, there’s a limit to how far you can go without hitting burnout.

The truth is…growth also requires stillness.
We need moments of pause to reflect, recover, and integrate. That’s where breathwork comes in.

Breathwork is more than just stress relief. It supports your overall health while also enhancing physical performance. It can be used:

  • Pre-workout to ground and focus

  • During workouts to reinforce proper breathing mechanics

  • Post-workout to activate recovery and shift the nervous system back to balance

Whether you're chasing peak performance or simply trying to feel more grounded in your life, your breath is one of your most powerful tools.

    I participated in F.J.'s breathwork sessions in Kansas City in person. He led our session with wisdom and clarity. He explained every step which made it easy to understand. As he led us through and we engaged with our breath, I felt incredible release of tension and emotions which gave me peace. The breathwork session went quickly which surprised me. I was completely one with my body and lost all distractions in my mind. He took us into the present. F.J. is kind, patient, wise and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend taking his breathwork sessions. It is an incredible way to release stress only using your own breath. My mind became clearer, I had more energy and I embodied peace.
