SOMA Breath Birthday Masterclass – Free Event with Niraj Naik
What if your breath could become a practical way to explore shifts in energy, awareness, and state — without adding a substance? If you’re curious about breathwork, altered states of consciousness, or the body’s own chemistry, this free masterclass gives you a live opportunity to explore those questions.
SOMA Breath founder Niraj Naik brings a pharmacist’s perspective to breathwork, combining ideas from biochemistry with ancient pranayama, music, and neurosomatic programming. His approach centers on what he calls the body’s “inner pharmacy” and how structured breathing can engage processes associated with naturally occurring chemicals such as dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins.
During the masterclass, Niraj will walk through the science behind his approach and discuss research involving the SOMA Breath protocol and altered states of consciousness. You’ll also hear how breath, music, and guided practice are brought together within the SOMA Breath method.
The session is experiential as well as educational. Niraj will guide one of his breathwork meditations live, giving you a chance to try the method while learning the framework behind it.
Why Attend “SOMA Breath Birthday Masterclass”
Many people look outside themselves when they want to change how they feel or access a different state of awareness. Breathwork offers another avenue to explore, using structured breathing and attention as part of an intentional practice that can be experienced directly. The masterclass uses the phrase “drug-like high” for this breath-based exploration of altered states without psychedelic substances.
Niraj’s “inner pharmacy” framework makes the topic especially accessible by connecting breathwork with familiar ideas from biochemistry. Rather than asking you to accept a purely abstract explanation, the masterclass combines teaching with a live guided session so you can examine the method from both a scientific and experiential perspective.
Niraj has spent the past 10 years understanding, developing, and applying breathwork, drawing on his background as a pharmacist as well as training with figures including Wim Hof, Marisa Peer, and Dr. Prakash Malshe. His SOMA Breath approach brings together ancient breathwork, music, and neurosomatic programming, offering a distinctive context for exploring altered states without using psychedelic substances.
What You’ll Learn
We’ll begin with Niraj’s “inner pharmacy” framework, so you can understand why he connects breathwork with dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins. You’ll hear how his pharmacist background informs the way he explains the relationship between breathing, biochemistry, and changes in state.
From there, you’ll look at research involving the SOMA Breath protocol, which means the conversation moves beyond theory into findings on altered states, neural complexity, gamma brainwave activity, bliss, insightfulness, and spiritual connection. Niraj will explain what he believes those findings mean for everyday people exploring breathwork.
Along the way, Niraj will bring breath and music together in a live guided meditation, so that the method is not only something you hear about. You’ll have an opportunity to experience the structure of a SOMA Breath journey in real time while learning how the different elements fit together.
