breathwork + meditation guide — oaxaca + new york
breathwork + meditation
for people carrying
too much.
i work with people who have tried everything — therapy, apps, retreats — and are ready for something that works at the body level.
“the breath is the one thing you're always doing. we just learn to do it with more presence.”
— maya rivers
ways to work together
offerings
1:1 breathwork session
private 60-minute session
a dedicated hour for your nervous system. we begin with a short intake, move through a guided breathwork practice tailored to where you are, then integrate with gentle conversation.
40 days of breath
self-paced video course
a structured journey through the breath. 12 video lessons, one for each phase of the 40-day cycle. built for people who want something real — not a 5-minute morning routine.
the circle
monthly membership
a small, ongoing community of people doing this work. monthly live breathwork sessions, a private community space, and access to all course content.
about maya
i've spent the last decade
learning how to breathe.
i've spent the last decade learning how to breathe. not the automatic kind — the kind that clears the static, softens the body, and makes room for whatever you've been avoiding.
i trained with holotropic breathwork in santa fe, studied pranayama in mysore, and spent three years guiding grief groups in hospitals. i'm not here to optimize you. i'm here to help you slow down long enough to hear yourself.
based between oaxaca and new york. two kids, one dog, too many notebooks.
what people say
in their words
“I've done therapy for years. I'm not saying breathwork replaced it — but it accessed something that five years of talking hadn't reached. Maya holds space unlike anyone I've encountered.”
Amara O.
London
“The 40-day course is deceptively simple. By week 3 I was processing things I thought I'd sealed off permanently. I've since recommended it to everyone I care about.”
Ryo T.
Tokyo
“The circle is where I found the people who get it. Monthly sessions plus the community — I look forward to it more than almost anything else in my week.”
Layla H.
Beirut
“I was skeptical. Breathing as a practice? But Maya explains the science without losing the soul of it. That combination is rare.”
