Description

In episode 141 of An Evolving Man Podcast, I’m joined by Anthony Abbagnano, founder of Alchemy of Breath.

Anthony shares his deeply personal story of childhood trauma, boarding school experiences, and how an encounter with breathwork as a child shaped the course of his life. Today, he’s one of the world’s leading voices in conscious breathwork, with facilitators trained in more than 70 countries.

We dive into:

  • Breath as a tool for healing trauma and reclaiming choice
  • Masculinity, chaos, and how men can step into authentic leadership
  • Simple practices like coherence breathing to restore calm and resilience
  • The link between breath, spirituality, and transformation
  • Why acts of kindness and presence can change the world

This conversation is both moving and practical — a reminder that healing is possible, and the breath is always available to guide us home.
