    Classes taught at SPACE 2B:
    Neuroscience of Breathwork: Handpan Sound Immersion Masterclass.

    Background:

    I am the pioneer of the Wim Hof Method in Singapore and an Advanced Instructor of both the Wim Hof Method and Oxygen Advantage. I am also a certified Flow Coach through the Flow Research Collective. Since 2018, I have worked with over 2,000 individuals and organisations, including Google, Microsoft, LinkedIn, PayPal, and the Young Presidents’ Organization. My work sits at the intersection of breathwork, nervous system science, and human performance. I founded Homing Inn as a dedicated space for this practice in Singapore.

    What first drew you to breathwork?

    Performance, honestly. I came to breathwork the way most people who eventually go deep come to it: I wanted an edge. I wanted to understand why some people stay sharp under pressure and others fall apart. What I found was that the breath is the one lever in the autonomic nervous system you can actually pull consciously. That discovery led to Wim Hof, then Oxygen Advantage, then the quieter terrain of holotropic work. Each layer revealed how much was happening beneath the surface that I had no language for yet.

    Why does creating space for rest and awareness feel important today?

    We have more tools for productivity than any generation before us, and most people are running on empty anyway. The problem is the nervous system doing the processing has never been taught how to regulate itself. Rest is not a reward you earn after you finish. It is the condition that makes everything else possible. Creating a space where that can actually happen feels less like a luxury offering and more like something overdue.

    What do you invite participants to experience during your sessions?

    Mostly to get out of their own way for a couple of hours. In holotropic work specifically, the instruction is simple: breathe, follow the music, trust the process. I am not trying to guide people toward a particular outcome. The body knows what it needs to do when given the right conditions. My job is to hold the space steady and stay present for whatever comes up.

    What does "a space to simply be" mean to you?

    It means the agenda is gone. There is nothing to produce, nothing to prove, no version of yourself you need to perform. That is rarer than it sounds. Most people have not had that since childhood, and even then not reliably. In a session, we are not chasing anything. What arrives, arrives. That is the whole point.

    How do you cultivate moments of presence or rest in your daily life?

    Breath practice first thing in the morning, before the day has a chance to layer on top of everything else. Cold exposure a few times a week, because the cold is honest and does not negotiate. And I try to notice when I am narrating my experience rather than actually in it. That gap between the narrator and the moment is where most stress lives. Catching it is most of the work.
