SOMA Breath® Is Accredited & Trusted By Major Wellness Brands
Proven to Get Results by Researchers at
Cambridge University
In 2021, neuroscientists at Cambridge University undertook the world’s largest ever study on breathwork–and they chose SOMA Breath as the focus.
Participants experienced the same states of consciousness from our breathwork protocol as they would from a single dose of MDMA or psilocybin–the main ingredient in magic mushrooms.
MDMA and psilocybin can rewire the neurology of your brain at a cellular level, which results in numerous benefits for your mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
Participants reported enhanced feelings of bliss, insightfulness, and spiritual experiences.
This is why leading therapists currently consider psilocybin and MDMA to be the best treatments for reversing severe depression.
How Kiera was depressed and chronically ill with rheumatoid arthritis… until a chance discovery of SOMA Breath at a festival led to her getting her condition under control… and then becoming a SOMA Breath instructor helping others heal, grow, and truly come back home to themselves.
In this special Masterclass with Niraj Naik, the Founder of SOMA Breath, you’ll discover:
In this training, you will see how people from different backgrounds begin a new path with SOMA Breath.

You will see how the method adapts to your strengths and helps you create safe, powerful results for others.
You will learn how SOMA Breath combines transformational training with business support so you are not left guessing after certification. You will see how instructors blend SOMA Breath with coaching, yoga, therapy, fitness, sound healing, and many other modalities. This session gives you a clear picture of what is possible and how you can build a fulfilling, flexible career in a fast growing field.
