We’re on a mission to usher in a new wave of consciousness through breathwork & music.
Breathpod was born from personal loss, and grew into a mission to help others transform through the power of breathwork & music. After losing his girlfriend to cancer in 2016, founder Stuart Sandeman discovered the healing potential of breathwork—a tool that allowed him to process grief, release tension and find balance without words.
We’re built on this belief: that every breath connects us to deeper parts of ourselves. Through music and breathwork, we guide you to unlock energy, relieve stress and elevate your potential. Whether you seek physical, mental, emotional or spiritual healing, our goal is to empower you with the tools to thrive in any aspect of life.
Guiding your journey of transformation.
