What is Transformational Breath® and how does conscious connected breath works?
Transformational Breath® is a therapeutic breathing method developed by breathing pioneer Dr. Judith Kravitz that has been established worldwide for over 50 years and works on three levels simultaneously: physical, mental-emotional, and spiritual. Through continuous, uninterrupted breathing (conscious connected breath), precise breath analysis, body mapping (targeted acupressure), and vocalization, we safely and sustainably release blocked energy stored in cellular memory.
Unlike pure relaxation techniques, wellness breathing exercises, or generic imitations, Transformational Breath® is a fully structured system. The method works holistically on all three levels of human existence—and it is precisely this comprehensiveness that makes it so effective.
On a physical level, deep diaphragmatic breathing opens up the respiratory system, oxygenates the cells, and supports the body’s natural detoxification processes. On a mental and emotional level, it clears unconscious patterns and integrates trauma. On a spiritual level, it opens the door to expanded consciousness and your own essence.
The method was developed by Dr. Judith Kravitz, has been standardized by the international Transformational Breath® Foundation, and is now the gold standard for “conscious connected breath.” Transformational Breath is a founding member of the Global Professional Breathwork Alliance (GBPA), which sets high standards for the professionalism of facilitators and training institutions.
How does a Transformational Breath® session work?
A session begins with an individual breathing analysis over zoom—we identify restrictive breathing patterns in your system. This is followed by 35-45 minutes of connected deep breathing, accompanied by my guiding you to self-applied targeted acupressure to physically release blockages and vocal expressions to to release emotional stagnation) The session ends with guided integration so that the experience can safely be incorporated into the nervous system.
The effectiveness of Transformational Breath® stems from the precise sequence of three levels we work through in a session. Each level builds on the previous one, taking the system deeper step by step.
Level 1 — Opening of the breath
Most people breathe shallowly and unconsciously. At this first level, we open up your respiratory system where it is restricted—by working directly with the diaphragm, chest, and abdomen. Deep diaphragmatic breathing fills your lungs completely, oxygenates your cells, and activates your body’s natural detoxification processes.
Level 2 — Clearing and Integration of the subsconsious
What is stored in cellular memory—old conditioning, unprocessed emotions, frozen defense mechanisms—is safely brought to the surface through deep breathing. This is where bodymapping (targeted acupressure on specific points) and vocal vibrations come into play. Both help to mobilize trapped energy and integrate it within a supportive framework.
Level 3 — Connection to higher consciousness
When the first two levels open up, natural access to inner guidance, clarity, and a grateful sense of unity with your source emerges. This third level requires no faith—it is the natural result of a regulated nervous system and the release of emotional blockages.
Why the Original is irreplaceable
Anyone who has experienced just how deep and precise the original protocol is (see above) will also recognize what is missing from superficial imitations. “Transformative Breathing” or “Conscious Connected Breath” are often used as umbrella terms today. What is offered under these terms lacks the methodological depth that has distinguished Transformational Breath® for over 50 years. At a time when many offer “Transformative Breathing” or “conscious connected” breath as imitations, we rely on the market-leading gold standard developed by Dr. Judith Kravitz. I’m not offering you a “wellness session” or uncontrolled catharsis, but rather the architecture of a new reality.

In her sessions, Eva brought to the surface issues that had been weighing heavily on my mind—issues where my thoughts kept going in circles. It was really fascinating for me to see how the negative thoughts faded into the background and were replaced by solution-oriented thoughts.

FAQ
Breathwork reaches aspects of the human experience that cannot be accessed through cognitive conversations or the mind alone. Eva Makkos has many clients who come to her after years of other therapies and report that a single breathwork session is more effective than many years of previous verbal therapy.
Suppressed feelings and memories stored in the body rise to the surface through the breath. It is important to accept and integrate them. In our approach to breathwork sessions, the integration of emotions is an essential part.
