Conscious Movies
As part of my journey as a meditation and breathwork teacher, I recognize the profound impact that various forms of art and storytelling can have on our spiritual and personal development. While I may not always have the opportunity to connect with each of you individually, I want to share a curated selection of films that align with the deep work we do in meditation and breathwork.

Why is breathwork so effective?
Breathwork activates our inner healing system and nourishes our lives.
It’s a powerful process that uses breath to open, heal and integrate the multidimensional aspects of the subconscious mind.
Our breath is the bridge between the inner and outer aspects of life and is therefore unique in its ability to bring these into harmony.
This simple method is a powerful tool for healing and acts as a catalyst for other healing practices.
TESTIMONIAL
What do my students say
Ida Rhein2025-04-28 Had my first breathing workshop ever with Aravind He explained everything to me, was super calm and patient I couldn't imagine that my body could get into such a (positive) state just by breathing! + the location is a dream Highly recommend it Sterre Ettema2025-04-25 I had a beautiful breathwork session with Aravind. He created a safe, supportive space that allowed me to truly relax and experience. Andi2025-04-25 The session with Aravindan was absolutely fascinating. I didn’t know what to expect since I’ve never done breath work before. Aravindan gave a great introduction in the process of the following exercises, but also didn’t give away too much, so I remained open and unknown of what to expect. He facilitated the exercises by kindly encouraging me to stay on it and the session was supported by intense and really touching music. I lost completely track of time, space and self. I highly recommend to try out a breath work session with Aravindan. Merel Slui2025-04-24 I had the privilege of being guided by Aravind during a week-long meditation retreat. As a teacher, he radiates calm and trust, creating a space where you feel supported yet free to explore. Throughout the retreat, Aravind offered a wealth of knowledge. From breathwork and chanting to posture guidance and meditation techniques, all aimed at helping you ease into a deeper practice. He provides thoughtful tips and insights, but always encourages you to discover what works best for you. His presence is steady and reassuring, so he’s there to guide and answer questions, while allowing you to take ownership of your own meditation journey. A truly grounding and enriching experience for me🙏✨ Marla Büning2025-04-03 Aravind has led me through my first breathwork session and it was absolutely beautiful! He took the time to explain everything in detail and throughout the whole session I felt safe and secure. Aravind held the space in a beautiful way, allowing the participants to experience their emotions freely. I’ve had an incredible emotional breakthrough and can’t wait for my next session! Andy Henkel2025-03-23 **Feedback for Aravind – Breathwork Session** My girlfriend and I recently had a breathwork session with Aravind, and I must say, it was an absolutely incredible experience! From the very beginning, the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, making it easy for us to fully immerse ourselves in the session. Aravind took the time to truly understand our individual needs and goals. He not only structured the session in a thoughtful and well-organized way but also introduced us to various breathwork tools that we can now incorporate into our daily lives. What particularly impressed me was that he even created a personalized plan for me, outlining how to use specific techniques to overcome my personal challenges. This level of care and attention shows how deeply committed he is to the well-being of his clients. The experience itself was beautiful—we felt deep emotions and gained a new perspective. Aravind's passion for breathwork is palpable, and it’s clear that he doesn’t just teach this practice but truly lives and embodies it. I wholeheartedly recommend Aravind and his breathwork sessions to anyone! We will definitely be returning and would love to have him as our long-term coach. Thank you, Aravind, for this transformative experience! 🙏✨ Tracey2024-07-28 I felt very safe and comfortable with Aravind. He held the space well for my internal journey to unfold. Clear instructions. Jan Wilshusen2024-05-06 Aravind is a great instructor! From the first moment, I felt comfortable and had a deep trust in him. When I did a 1-on-1 breathwork session with him I was able to deeply go into every feeling that came up knowing there was support right by my side although I barely knew him. My experience included loud screams of anger, tears of sadness and also laughter of joy and a feeling of pure bliss. Afterwards, I felt relieved and free. His guidance during the breathwork was well-balanced; neither too much, nor too little. Also, before the session, he made a great job to analyze my current emotional situation and to "open myself up". All in all, it was a profound experience and I can recommend that - as well as Aravind himself - to anyone who seeks release of emotional baggage or just an interesting life experience. Thank you so much, Aravind! Cdrik2024-04-13 C'était ma 2e expérience de breathwork avec Aravind, avec une autre technique cette fois, mais encore très riche en énergie et sensations 😍 Merci pour toutes les explications du process, d'être présent du début à la fin pour nous guider et nous rassurer et de nous faire découvrir une autre facette de notre corps pour explorer de nouveaux horizons grâce à la respiration. Merci pour tout 🙏
