“I didn't come to breathwork to change my life. I came because I couldn't ignore what my body was asking for anymore.”

Meet Your Instructor

Shohreh's Origin Story.

At the height of my corporate career I looked successful and composed, but inside I was anxious, overwhelmed and disconnected. Conscious breathing became my anchor, and that was when I realised breath wasn't just supportive, it was essential.

A move from the UK to Saudi Arabia marked a turning point. I retrained, travelled to Rishikesh, and immersed myself in yoga and pranayama. For the first time I experienced breath as a way to regulate the body and create lasting change.

When I discovered IMD Breathwork, its science-based, body-led approach created a profound shift in a single session. Becoming an instructor felt inevitable. I teach this work because breathwork is not a luxury β€” it is a foundation for clarity, resilience and balance.

The session

What a class is like

The briefing

You know what to expect

Every class opens with a full briefing. What the breath does, what can come up, and how the room is held. Nothing is a surprise.

The breath

The body does the work

You lie down and breathe in a guided rhythm. The breath, the music and the facilitation are built to work together, so what the body has been holding can move.

The IMD Landing

Time to settle

The last 20 minutes. The breath returns to normal, the music softens, and what came up gets time to settle. You leave grounded, settled and complete.

The sound

Sound built for the work

Every IMD class runs inside a custom-built soundscape. If you have done a sound bath or sound healing, the depth will feel familiar, on a whole new 360, cinematic level. And you are not just listening. The sound is combined with guided breathing and emotional release work, so the breath and the music move together through one designed arc.

Questions people ask

What happens in an IMD breathwork class?

Every class starts with a full briefing, so you know exactly what to expect. Then you lie down and breathe in a guided rhythm, inside a soundscape built for the session. The last 20 minutes are the IMD Landing: the breath returns to normal, the music softens, and what came up has time to settle. You leave grounded and complete.

Do I need any experience?

No. The facilitator guides the breath the whole way through. Every class has people coming for the first time alongside people who come every week.

How often should I come?

We recommend once a week, and no more than that. Your body needs time to settle between sessions. Many people notice the change most in small daily moments, over a few weeks of coming regularly.

How is this different from a sound bath or sound healing?

In a sound bath, you lie down and listen. If you have done one, the depth of sound in an IMD class will feel familiar, on a whole new 360, cinematic level. The difference is that you are not just listening. The sound is combined with guided breathing and emotional release work, moving together through one designed arc.

How much does a breathwork class in Knysna cost?

Classes start from ZAR 640. Every upcoming class, date and price is listed on this page. Pick a class and book your spot.

What is the difference between IMD Signature and IMD Lite?

IMD Signature is the full 2 hour session, built for deep emotional release, with a complete briefing and the full IMD Landing. IMD Lite is the 1 hour version: the same work in a shorter arc, made to fit inside a busy week.

Is breathwork safe for beginners?

Yes, and safety is designed into every part of the session: the briefing, the music, how the room is held, and the aftercare. A few medical conditions need a doctor's OK first. You will see the full list when you book.
