Elemental Rhythm
Elemental Rhythm Breathwork was born in the wake of the pandemic, perfectly reflecting the essence of the practice: turning challenges into gold.
In the end of 2019, Gio ran the Elemental Wellness Studio in Toronto. He had started teaching his own breathwork method at the studio after having seen mindblowing results for himself and his friends and family. The method combined breath, movement, music and meditation to bring participants on a journey like no other. It was named Elemental Rhythm Breakthrough Experience.
The Elemental Rhythm Breakthrough Experiences soon became immensely popular and were booked out weeks in advance. The studio was thriving and the students raved about their results, including deep trauma healing that some described as more profound than plant medicine experiences.
Fast forward to March 2020 when the studio was forced to shut down following the nation-wide lockdown. This in a time when the collective fear and anxiety peaked and people needed breathwork more than ever.
Uncertainty reigned. Was this the end of an era?
Quite the opposite. True to his nature, where others saw obstacles, Gio spotted an opportunity.
Now was the golden moment to implement an idea he had been sitting on for a while: creating an Elemental Rhythm Breathwork Facilitator training. This was aligned with his mission of letting the practice ripple out into the world, beyond his personal capacity.
A part of him was scared. After all, this is what he had become known for in the community. What if the power of the practice, and its reputation, would dilute once more people started to teach it? What if he would lose his clients to the new facilitators?
After an intense breathwork session, he knew the answer. Elemental Rhythm Breathwork was ready to take on the world – and he couldn’t do it alone.
The first batch of Elemental Rhythm Breathwork Facilitators came from the staff at the Elemental Wellness Studio. The moment of truth had arrived: what would their clients feel?
Very soon, the testimonials came in: euphoria. Increased clarity and peace. Crying for the first time in years. Chronic pain suddenly disappearing.
The Elemental Rhythm wave was set in motion.
From there, 100+ facilitators have taken the Elemental Rhythm Breathwork Certification programs.
Gio was happily surprised to see that not only did his facilitators report amazing results from their clients, but also incredible changes and a sense of deep fulfillment for themselves. Reciprocity at its finest.
We now have facilitators from all across the globe and we keep expanding into different cultures, languages and territories exposing new and even experienced breathworkers to this incredible style of an ancient and proven modality. We firmly believe we are just at the tip of the iceberg for this avalanching trend with tons of potential for growth!
The studio has expanded into an online platform where anyone can practice breathwork from anywhere in the world.
Join us online to feel the difference now. Turning challenges into gold has never been more accessible!
