Breathwork Decompression Session with Ben Jenkins
The stresses of life come at us thick and fast in the modern day. Family life, work life, and the driver who cut you off in traffic this morning are all capable of triggering us into states of fight, flight and freeze throughout the day.
Having our sympathetic nervous system respond in such ways is not a problem – it’s a survival mechanism. However, not completing these cycles of stress is a problem.
Our bodies aren’t designed to maintain the cortisol spikes, the high resting heart rate and shallow breathing that come with it.
In these breathwork sessions Ben takes people through the science of breathwork and how to maintain proper functional breathing. He will also guide the class through a breath flow that consists of multiple breathwork techniques – old and new – to decompress and blow off the stress that accumulates in the body.
This results in a completion of these stress cycles and a significant reduction in cortisol with an engagement of the parasympathetic nervous system.

Facilitator Bio:
Ben Jenkins is a Breathwork Facilitator who studied under Johannes Egberts from Breathless – a student himself of Wim Hoff’s. Ben has now started his own facilitation practice and is the Co-Owner of Online Wellness hub - The Well Hub.
14 years ago, Ben had a wakeup call after being diagnosed with cancer. When he didn’t find the answers externally as to why this path presented itself, Ben regularly turned within. Using time in meditation, Ben soon came to recognise that past traumas and experiences prior to having cancer had never been properly processed. And he sought to learn techniques to help clear these blockages.
Ben soon discovered Breathwork and the power it had to make space almost instantly. The sense of calm it presented was infectious.
After reading “Breath” by James Nestor, Ben started to understand the true power of breathwork and how it has been revered across the ages as an essential tool for finding balance, as well as emotional, mental, and physical regulation.
Today Ben uses techniques old and new to construct breath flows for his clients. Techniques grounded in science but that also recognise the power that lies within. Techniques to help decompress from the high stress states we regularly find ourselves in and expand our window of tolerance day to day.
