    Hi, I’m Kitaro

    I teach professionals how to use breathwork and mindfulness to build resilience—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

    After 20 years of teaching traditional martial arts, I created a method called Hormetic Breathwork. It blends ancient wisdom with modern neuroscience to help you reset your nervous system, increase energy, and stay calm under pressure.

    I’ve guided thousands of students and coaches worldwide through practices that strengthen focus, emotional control, and presence—not only through theory, but through daily embodied training.

    What I Help You Achieve

    When you learn to master your breath, you learn to master your life.

    My coaching helps you:

    • Calm your body and mind on command — no need to escape or suppress stress.

    • Increase your energy and focus — by regulating CO₂, O₂, and nervous system states.

    • Sleep deeply and recover faster — improving hormonal and autonomic balance.

    • Show up with clarity — in your relationships, work, and self-talk.

    Each client leaves with a personalized breath ritual and a toolkit to handle life’s challenges with more composure and confidence.

    • “Kitaro’s breathwork courses have been invaluable in helping me maintain a mindful and disciplined approach to working from home and pursuing self-employment. The structured sessions and guided practices have given me the tools to stay focused and balanced throughout the day. I also have a minor medical condition—Raynaud’s disease—which often leaves my hands and feet painfully cold, especially in winter. Since practicing Kitaro’s methods, my overall well-being has significantly improved, and I feel much better during the colder months.
