Chopra Expands Programming with Unique Sonic Breathwork Offering in Partnership with Beats and Breath

Collaboration Addresses Global, Multi-Generational Audience’s Surging Interest in Breathwork, Part of the $296.3 Billion Global Alternative Healthcare Industry


New York, NY, Oct. 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chopra, a leading integrative health company founded by wellness icon Dr. Deepak Chopra, M.D. and part of The Healing Company Inc. (OTCQB: HLCO) (“The Healing Company” or the “Company”), today announced the launch of “Healing Through Breath,” a revolutionary breathwork initiative in partnership with Beats and Breath. Grounded in neuroscience and modern technology, their innovative new practice, Sonic BreathworkTM, combines the power of ancient, rhythmic breathing techniques with modern, cutting-edge music compositions and the latest advancements in bioacoustics to help enhance and elevate physical, mental, emotional, and energetic well-being.

A form of meditation—a $5 billion market expanding at an 18.5% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR)1—breathwork is part of the surging $296.3 billion global alternative healthcare industry2. Chopra’s expanded programming with Beats and Breath taps into this growing demand for unique breathwork offerings and builds upon the company’s continued commitment to deliver a broad range of transformative programming, content, and experiences, and make it accessible to a multi-generational, global audience.

“As Millenial and Gen Z appetite for wellness products and services continue to grow, there is immense potential in partnering with the next generation of healing leaders to activate and serve a global, multi-generational audience,” said Simon Belsham, CEO and Co-Founder of The Healing Company. “Our strategy to uncover and deliver science-backed, high-impact experiences like ‘Healing Through Breath’ will further cement Chopra as the leader in integrative healing content, products, and experiences.”

Breathwork—an Eastern healing modality that’s increasingly being embraced by the Western world—is a modality often dubbed the “new meditation”3. Rooted in the science of yoga and its fourth limb of pranayama, the healing effects and accessibility of breathwork have been making consumer waves, with interest growing 40% over the past year4.

“Dr. Deepak Chopra is someone I have deep respect for and we are honored to partner with Chopra to deliver and share our Sonic Breathwork practice on a global scale,” said Christopher August, Co-Founder of Beats and Breath. “The healing impact of breathwork has been heavily studied in recent years, with the benefits of this ancient practice on stress, mindset, self awareness, spiritual growth, and more, affirmed by modern science, furthering our resolve to bring our innovative breathwork programming to millions.”

“Chopra has a rich history of impactful collaborations, having previously partnered with luminaries including Alicia Keys and Oprah Winfrey,” added Dr. Jaime Rabin, Chief Products & Programs Officer at Chopra. “This latest partnership with Beats and Breath is a natural extension of Chopra’s decades-long commitment to bring scientifically-backed, high impact healing practices to the world in ways a global, multi-generational audience finds accessible and engaging.”
