Send us a text

Discover how conscious connected breathing can guide us from trauma to presence, from chaos to calm.

In this episode of the Mindfulness Exercises Podcast, Sean Fargo sits down with Anthony Abbagnano—visionary breathwork pioneer, founder of Alchemy of Breath, and author of the upcoming book Outer Chaos, Inner Calm.

Together, they explore the profound potential of conscious, connected breathwork to support healing, trauma integration, self-awareness, and spiritual growth. Anthony shares his remarkable journey—from a painful childhood experience in a British boarding school to becoming a global leader in trauma-informed breathwork. Through moving stories, practical insights, and embodied wisdom, Anthony offers a compelling case for why the breath may be the most accessible and transformative tool we have.

This is an inspiring conversation for anyone curious about how breath can be used not just to calm the nervous system, but to catalyze deep emotional and spiritual shifts.
