Breath of Joy – A Center for Conscious Living and Transformative Breathwork

Breath of Joy is a fully integrated space dedicated to renewal, wellness, and personal growth, offering transformative programs that combine breathwork techniques, life skills training, and holistic self-development. Based in the heart of Kuwait, our programs extend across the Arab world, providing both in-person and online experiences designed to support emotional, psychological, and physical well-being.

At the core of Breath of Joy is the Nesmah™ Method, created by Manal AlMusallam, a pioneer in conscious breathing and personal transformation. Nesmah™ is not just a breathwork session—it is an inner journey into peace, clarity, and authentic self-connection. The methodology integrates science-informed tools, somatic awareness, and practical lifestyle practices, making it accessible and inclusive for all communities while honoring Arab cultural roots.

The Nesmah™ Experience:

• Encourages participants to breathe with honesty and listen to the natural rhythm of their breath.
• Supports emotional release, inner harmony, and clarity of mind.
• Combines breathwork, gentle physical exercises, mental and writing exercises, and positive thinking to build balance and well-being.
