Changing the world, one breath at a time
Mission
Promoting healthy breathing for all and bringing breath back to the center of life
Unity of Breath was co-founded in the Spring of 2025, by Chris Cochran and Graham Stewart.
They each share a commitment to returning breath to the centre of our lives, promoting healthy breathing for all.
Chris Cochran
Chris is a master breathwork practitioner, performance coach, and former elite athlete who has spent over two decades exploring the intersection of physiology, presence, and human potential. Based in California, Chris has worked with world-class performers, high-impact leaders, and everyday individuals to help them unlock their full capacity—one breath at a time.
As co-founder of Unity of Breath, he is catalyzing a global movement to restore conscious breathing as a daily practice in schools, companies, and communities. His work is rooted in direct experience, scientific rigor, and a deep commitment to human evolution.
Chris believes that when we breathe better, we live better—and that breath is the bridge between who we are now and who we are here to become.
More about Chris Cochran…
“If you look at all the ancient teachings (yoga, meditation, chanting, singing,
dancing, and even exercise to name a few) they all have a common theme: breath.” — Chris Cochran
Graham Stewart
Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Graham has spent most of his adult life as a sports coach, business trainer and teacher. From an early age he was curious about why people behave the way they do, which led to a fascination with the body-mind, consciousness and attention. An explorer and adventurer by nature, he has visited with the First Nation peoples of many countries, learning about their cultures and how they understand and live in the world. After meeting Chris online in 2016, he realised how poor his breathing was, and within a few months his life changed radically. Now, almost 9 years later, he knows that conscious breathing is the most powerful tool we have for healing ourselves, each other and the world.
Without conscious breath:
-You remain locked in sympathetic nervous system dominance (fight/flight/freeze).
• Cortisol, adrenaline, and inflammation flood the body constantly.
• The brain is stuck in survival mode—no access to higher reasoning, empathy, or intuition.
Collapse here means:
• Nervous breakdown
• Autoimmune failure
• Inability to discern truth from projection
• Total disorientation under pressure
