The "ART" and Science of Breath + Breathwork in Africa w/ Dr. Ela Manga The Breath Circle
-
- Alternative Health
Dr. Ela Manga is a medical doctor, author and speaker committed to conscious living and bringing heart back into the art of medicine. Her training as a medical doctor was just the first step towards her true vocation as a co-creator of health and a catalyst for change.
Her focus is not just on treating symptoms but diving deeper to uncover the root causes of illness and to work together with people to create a new mind-body system in context of the big picture of your life. Balance and energy are restored through lifestyle changes, natural medicines, healing therapies, mindfulness, breathwork -all working to activate the body’s ability to heal itself.
Through individual consultations, talks, the facilitation of workshops, training, retreats and through writing, Ela creates a fascinating framework of uncovering the basis of energy management, blending neuroscience with ancient wisdom and study of human behaviour, leaving people more inspired and committed to living with more authentic energy and open heartedness.
Ela lives in the vibrant African city of Johannesburg and her practice is based at The Sanctuary in Houghton Estate, Johannesburg.
In this episode, we spoke about:
- How Ela evolved into becoming an integrative doctor and then a breathworker
- How she discovered the breath and that "aha" moment
- What it means for Ela to bring mindfulness back into medicine
- Ela's ideas around how chronic illness starts in the body, ie the "root causes" of illness
- Her book on burnout and energy management
- Breathwork Africa and BreathCafe©
- The ART framework (classifying breathing techniques) and the actual art around this
- Ela's incredible initiatives around bringing breathwork to African children and into the African school systems
