Breathwork for ADHD and Beyond

Must read

Introduction to a Transformative Experience

Discover a powerful new masterclass series, a two-hour transformative experience led by ADHD coach John Harrington and breathwork facilitator Martin O’Toole.

With an estimated 2.6 million people in the UK living with ADHD — and some waiting up to eight years for diagnosis — many are turning toward embodied, medicine-free alternatives. For centuries, yogis and wisdom keepers have used breathwork to calm the mind, regulate the body, and access deeper states of awareness. Since 2019, breathwork has seen a global surge in popularity, rising over 400% as more people seek tools for nervous system regulation and emotional resilience.

This session is designed not just for neurodivergent minds but for anyone with a dysregulated nervous system seeking reset and calm in a fast-paced, overstimulating world. Conscious connected breathwork doesn’t cater to one neurotype — it bypasses mental noise entirely, reaching the parts of us that language and logic often can’t.

About the Class

The experience begins with an hour of strategic clarity, led by John — sharp, insight-driven coaching to reframe and refocus. Then, for two hours, you’ll be guided through a profoundly immersive Emotional Release Breathwork journey, led by Martin — known for his sold-out weekly sessions at Bali’s renowned Alchemy Yoga & Meditation Centre — with support from his partner, Julia.

Expect more than just relief — expect a shift you can feel. You may leave clearer, calmer, and more regulated — with a sense of space and steadiness that stays with you long into the afternoon.

This event takes place on Sunday, April 13th, at London’s We The Conscious studio in Hackney Downs, and tickets are available at £60.

What to Expect from the Class

In the first hour, ADHD coach John Harrington will guide you through essential tools for navigating life with ADHD — delivered with warmth, clarity, and zero judgment. You’ll explore how to work with your unique wiring, channel your strengths, quiet the inner critic, and develop the kind of self-understanding and compassion that should be taught in schools. This is about moving from self-doubt to self-trust and laying the groundwork for emotional resilience.

Next up, Bali-based breathwork facilitator Martin O’Toole — known for his sold-out weekly sessions at renowned Alchemy Yoga & Meditation Centre — will lead a powerful Emotional Release Breathwork session. Supported by his partner Julia, this journey combines immersive soundscapes, intuitive touch, and precise vocal guidance to surface and release unconscious emotional material safely. It’s a masterclass in the art of letting go and accessing the deeper intelligence of the body and breath.

What the Experts Say

“Learning about how your neurodivergent brain works is an act of self-respect. When you understand your wiring — and the very real challenges of navigating a neurotypical world — you can begin to move beyond self-judgement and into self-compassion,” says John Harrington.

“That’s when things start to shift. Emotional regulation becomes possible. Resilience builds. This session aims to help you bridge the gap between knowing and doing — and to identify the perfectly human reasons that gap exists in the first place. It’s not about fixing you. It’s about helping you find what balance looks like in a way that actually works for your life”.

“Breath is medicine. A powerful tool — underused, misunderstood, yet freely available to all of us. More than just a stress relief hack, breathwork shows you how to regulate your nervous system, access suppressed or repressed emotions, and come back to yourself,” says Martin O’Toole.

“Through breathwork, you’ll learn how to consciously work with your autonomic nervous system — shifting from fight-or-flight to rest-and-digest with intention. You’ll notice real-time changes: lowered heart rate, reduced anxiety, better digestion, and a quieter mind. Long-term, it improves oxygen efficiency, builds CO₂ tolerance, and strengthens your resilience on every level — physical, mental, and emotional.”

Breathwork and ADHD

Breathwork is booming — and for good reason. Global interest has increased by over 400% since 2019 as more people search for accessible, non-pharmacological tools to support their mental and emotional health.

For those with ADHD or other forms of neurodivergence, breathwork can be a game-changer. It offers something that medication often can’t: a sense of agency — a manual override for a dysregulated nervous system.

Scientific studies show that conscious breathwork is associated with reductions in stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. By engaging the breath, you can shift out of mental overwhelm and into embodied presence — without needing to explain yourself or filter your experience.

Breathwork meets you where you are — and helps bring you back to your centre.
