Some people heal best in a circle. Others need a quiet room and someone who truly listens.

If you find it hard to open in a group—or know that what you carry is very personal, complex, or still unspoken—one-to-one work may be the right place to begin.

This July and August, Max is offering a limited number of private sessions, designed around your specific needs.
Each session is created to support you with clarity, breath, and tools to meet this moment in your life—whatever it holds.

Whether you’re navigating grief, stress, change, or simply seeking connection, Max will meet you where you are—with presence, compassion, and tools that last beyond the hour.

60-minute sessions via Zoom (recording available by request)
Tailored to your needs: breathwork, grief, stress, or emotional health
Reduced summer rate (more than 40% off)
Available this July and August

To inquire or book, please send us an email.

If a group setting feels more aligned, Max continues to offer live online and in-person workshops throughout the year. We're happy to help you find what fits best for where you are now. 🤍

Just arrived home a short while ago after a relaxing couple of days at Lake Maggiore and then onto stunning Mandali Centre for another Max Strom retreat.

Everything about Mandali, from its spectacular location, eco facilities , ethical practices and gorgeous veggie cuisine allows you to truly escape and immerse yourself in a piece of heaven on earth where the quality of air feels like nectar… and there’s a welcome absence of tv screens, digital devices and alcohol.

Indeed from the very first moment you set foot in Mandali, high in the hills of Quarna Sopra, Northern Italy you are immediately enveloped in the entranceway of stone walls containing 40 large amethyst geodes, vertically implanted in the wall so as to bathe visitors with positive vibes as they enter and leave this magical space.

Awaking early each day to sweet, happy, chirpy birdsong from finches, sparrows and other feathered friends , there were views to die for (especially from the stunning swimming pool and hot tub overlooking the length of Lake Orta), vistas of colourful gardens, aromatic flowers, strategically placed large crystals , symbolic statues, ornamental decorations, random hammocks in hidden secluded spaces, all of this blissful environment hosting a beautifully appointed ‘Temple’ where our varied yoga practices were held.

Attending yoga master, Max Strom’s ‘Breathe into Wellbeing Retreat ’ was an absolute treat - his teachings are so accessible , practical and beneficial.
He is in my opinion a meliorist who works to bring people together, instilling a sense of ‘tribe’, a sense of belonging and being seen and heard.
Max is very clear in his lectures about promoting good ‘person to person’ communication and not allowing technology to dilute our humanness.

To say ‘I enjoyed the retreat’ is short on expression, I feel blessed and it has truly been an amazing opportunity to reflect, evaluate , connect and appreciate with like minded souls.

🙏💜🙏

Max Strom excellent Breathe to Heal Work -
https://youtu.be/Niq2FS-R3AM

What differentiates Max Strom’s Breathwork Course is that it is not a ‘Breathe to Cope’ course but a ‘Breathe To Heal’ course - which has proven to be highly successful with the focus on what we are trying to accomplish rather than the method of doing it .

Max’s focus is in trying to alleviate anxiety quickly and eliminating panic attacks and his work offers a solution on how to deal with these issues at a time when levels of stress are going up and up.

Conventional methods like talk-therapy do their part, but it's often not enough.
The Breathe to Heal system developed by yoga master Max Strom has proven to be highly successful at accelerating emotional healing and getting to the core of symptoms by tapping into one's own inner resources.
Hajnal and I have completed recent training with Max and now offer courses based on this teaching . It has been advertised on recent ‘socials’ and I will repost again soon 🙏

Our lungs are not only for breathing and bringing in oxygen. They are the engine of expressing our feelings and emotions and the center of our communication....
