Breathwork and Nervous System Be free! Breathe, feel and heal! And much more. Antosh is an experienced Breathworker, Embodiment & nervous system resiliency mentor.
We are based here in Ubud in Bali and our passion is to get you back in Balance in your Life and Nervous System. As specialists in Breathwork, Bodywork and Psychology we understand what it needs to heal from stress, anxiety, life work balance, burnout, Panik attacks, pain after surgeries, tension in the body, to much in your mind and thoughts, disconnected from your body, no soul alignment, no mor
something wild that most people don’t know: babies cannot form memories the way we think of memories. that part of the brain, the hippocampus, doesn’t fully come online until around age three.
so if something hard happened to you before then, you have zero story about it. no images. no timeline. nothing your thinking mind can access.
but your body has it. completely. stored as muscle, as reflex, as the way you flinch before you even register why, as the bracing that happens before your mind catches up.
scientists call this implicit memory, and it lives in older parts of the brain, the amygdala, the brainstem, the cerebellum, places that were already working long before the part of you that tells stories even existed.
which means some of what you carry isn’t a memory you’re avoiding. it’s a memory you never had access to in the first place. it was never lost. it just never had words to begin with.
and that’s exactly why the body has to be part of the healing. because the body has been holding the only copy this whole time. 🤍

I started a somatic and breathwork practice to see if real change was possible.
nobody told me my tongue was connected to any of it.
your tongue attaches to the hyoid bone. your hyoid connects directly to your jaw, your skull base, and your cervical spine. chronic tongue tension means chronic jaw tension. chronic jaw tension means your nervous system never gets the signal to stop.
but it goes further than that. tight tongue fascia pulls tension through the entire front line of your body. that is why you can do all the work and still wake up clenched.
this is the only way to actually stretch it: extend it fully out of your mouth and hold it for 40 seconds. you are putting tensile load directly on the tissue underneath. that is not a wellness hack. that is mechanics.
this is also how you start to release what therapy has been trying to reach with words.
these slides are your instruction manual. no equipment. no subscription. just your face and 40 seconds.
I am not the expert. I am the experiment.
stop managing. start releasing.
tag someone who needs to see this. show us your tongue. 👅
The Cocoon. A big hug in a bag.
This is what my clients get wrapped in during sessions. Breathwork, bodywork, deep rest, the moments after something shifts and you just need to feel held. That’s what this is for.
It’s a 2x2m double-layer muslin cloth, incredibly soft, lightweight, and big enough to wrap yourself in completely. Comes in cream, dusty rose, terracotta, sage, and taupe. Each one has the Cocoon label stitched in so you always know where home is.
People use theirs for morning meditation, naps, on the couch, after a bath, whenever they need to come back to themselves. A lot of my clients asked where they could get one after their session. Now you can.
I’m flying to Europe on June 15th and I have room for exactly 10 in my luggage. Normal price is 50 euro. Screenshot this post with the cocoon in the center, DM me the screenshot, and you get yours for 40 euro. First 10 only, once they’re gone, they’re gone.
unpopular take from someone who’s done this for 17 years:
if you’ve cried in every session and the same pattern is still running your life, the work isn’t going deep.
it’s going wide.
you’ve done the breathwork. the plant medicine. the somatic stuff. the therapy.
and the same thing is still there underneath.
here’s what nobody told you:
it’s not that you didn’t go deep enough. it’s that you went past what your body could actually metabolize. so the experience happened but nothing updated.
intensity is not depth.
drama is not change.
shaking on a mat for an hour means nothing if your nervous system couldn’t take it in.
big experience ≠ real change.
this is the entire reason people keep searching.
the ones who actually shift are the ones who learned the difference.
this is what we teach.
comment LAND and i’ll send you the full breakdown.

I’ve been sitting with this for a while.
And now it’s time.
This August I’m bringing The Cocoon Method to Germany. One week. Everything I’ve built over 17 years. For the first time in Europe.
For practitioners who are ready to go deeper. And for anyone who has been searching for something that actually goes all the way in.
Link in bio to tell me you’re interested.
This is the Cocoon Method. Somatic healing that goes all the way to the root. Not catharsis. Integration.
We have more trainings coming up this year.
20. April and 15. June in Bali
August in Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Netherlands
26 July Festival: in Lithuania

Understanding Breathing Mechanics
A Visual Breakdown
Swipe or look closely: these three diagrams show exactly how your body breathes:
1. Surface Anatomy
See the shaded areas on the front/side and back views? That’s the rib cage in action. When you inhale, your ribs don’t just stay still, they lift and expand outward, creating more space in your chest.
2. The Rib Cage Itself
This detailed drawing shows the thoracic cage (ribs + spine). Notice how the ribs are curved and attached to the spine. During breathing, they move in a “bucket-handle” motion (outward) and “pump-handle” motion (upward), helping expand the chest cavity.
3. How the Lungs & Diaphragm Work
• Lungs diagram: Arrows show the movement. On inhale, the diaphragm flattens and moves down while the ribs lift → chest volume increases → air rushes in. On exhale, everything relaxes and air flows out.
• Bell jar model: A simple experiment that proves the principle. The glass jar = your chest, balloons = lungs, rubber sheet at the bottom = diaphragm. Pull the diaphragm down and the lungs inflate, exactly what happens inside you!
• Torso figures: Real human examples. The male figure shows hand placement on the belly; the female figure shows abdominal expansion. True diaphragmatic breathing makes your belly gently rise more than your upper chest.
Together, these illustrations teach that deep, efficient breathing is not just chest movement, it’s a coordinated dance between ribs, diaphragm, and lungs.
💡 Try it now: Sit or lie down, place one hand on your belly and one on your chest. Breathe slowly. Feel your belly expand first? That’s the good stuff, calming for the nervous system and great for yoga, meditation, or stress relief.
Save this post for your anatomy or breathwork reference!

I used to believe this about myself.
That I was using my past as an excuse. That other people had been through worse. That I should just be over it by now.
17 years of working with bodies has shown me something different.
Trauma is not a story. It is not a choice. It is what your nervous system did to keep you alive.
And the moment you stop fighting that — real healing begins.
The Cocoon Method was built for exactly this.

If you have been waiting for the right training, this is your year.
Most practitioners spend years collecting certificates. IFS from one school. Breathwork from another. Somatic bodywork somewhere else. Three trainings, three tuition fees, and still trying to figure out how to make it work together in the room.
The Cocoon Method gives you all of it in one. One training, one investment, everything integrated. IFS, breathwork, and somatic bodywork taught as a single connected system, because that is how they actually work.
You stop paying for pieces. You get the whole thing.
We have three cohorts this year.
Bali: 20 April and June Dates Tba
Europe August: Germany / Austria / Switzerland, dates tba
