My name is Maggie Angelova and I will be facilitating a group breathwork session during X Fest, on Saturday, July 26th, 1-3 pm, together with my colleague and also breathwork facilitator Yavor Nikolov.

I have always been drawn by ways to explore myself through different therapeutic approaches and experiences but for me Integrative breathwork turned out to be what I had always been looking for, something to really jolt me and change me. Breathwork helped me to open up to so many other experiences and adventures – groups for intensive experiential therapy, inner child and inner teenager work, primal therapy, Neo-Reichian therapy. My increasing interest in working with traumas has recently led me to EMDR therapy.

Yavor Nikolov is an Integrative breathwork facilitator, a certified specialist in Osho Rebalancing deep tissue body therapy and an emotional intelligence trainer. His interests include yoga, mindfulness, meditation, breathwork and other practices directed at self-exploration and development of our inner world, body, healthy lifestyle and relationships.

Integrative breathwork is a powerful method for deep inner work. It is conscious, connected, intensive breathing, which leads to an altered state of consciousness where we have access to memories, emotions and parts of our inner world that we cannot access in our habitual state of consciousness. This provides us with an opportunity to experience them fully and to integrate them. We can easily reach the emotions we have suppressed inside us, express them freely and release their energy in a safe environment during the session. The body work as part of the breathwork session is extremely valuable and it is a great advantage for Integrative breathwork when compared to all kinds of verbal therapies and methods. The body remembers. Unexpressed emotions live in the body. Integrative breathwork facilitates the expression of whatever it is that we hold under the surface, which brings about a sense of lightness and freeing up inner space within us.
