Nimrod Kaufman
Breath Entrepreneur and Founder of B.T.I - Breath Therapy Institute

We breathe from the moment we’re born. Nimrod realized that breathing in a way that supports a modern lifestyle is not something we take for granted in our society. In fact, what it means for Nimrod to be a "breathing entrepreneur" is gathering all the scientific and medical tools and knowledge, and creating a worldview that helps as many people as possible learn to use different breathing techniques for their benefit.

Challenge Into Awakening
Nimrod grew up in a complex family environment that placed significant pressure on him from a young age. Being a sensitive and gentle child, he learned over time that the way to cope with any kind of emotion was through suppression. This led to his belief that feeling loved equated to being appreciated. As a result, from a young age, his “inner critic” worked overtime, and for many years, he lived with guilt and frustration. Despite achieving impressive accomplishments, such as completing pilot training and serving as a pilot in the Israeli Air Force, his inner and emotional reality was stuck.

Facing this internal stagnation led Nimrod to explore different ways to improve his quality of life. By chance, he came across the world of breathwork. The realization that breathing could influence both his emotional and physical state was a revelation for him. "It felt like I had climbed Everest," he said. Something inside him opened up, exposing him to a whole new world—it was exhilarating, like falling in love. This journey unlocked emotions he was experiencing for the first time, like pain and the feeling of abandonment, which he began to explore in depth.

He discovered that through conscious breathing practice, he could calm his nervous system, reduce stress, and improve focus.

Breathing as a Tool for Healing and Growth
Over time, Nimrod realized the immense potential in breathwork. He learned how it could be used as a tool for healing deep wounds, releasing trauma, and boosting self-confidence. He came to understand that breathing is not just a physiological act, but also a spiritual tool that allows us to connect with our deepest selves. With a gut-driven decision, Nimrod enrolled in a breathwork training program that changed his life, leading him to the realization that he wanted to share this knowledge with others. He saw how many people suffer from stress, anxiety, and depression and understood that breathwork could provide them with significant relief. This is how the idea of founding a breathing therapy center was born.

Nimrod's center has become a meeting place for people seeking tools to cope with life's challenges, improve sleep quality, reduce stress, and deepen their connection to themselves. He developed a unique method that combines ancient wisdom with modern approaches, enabling people to experience healing and renewal through breathwork.

Breathwork and Business
In our conversation, Nimrod explained how paying attention to one’s breath can transform both physical and mental well-being, particularly for entrepreneurs who face daily stress and the challenges of the business world. Delving into conscious breathing techniques—using various methods Nimrod detailed throughout our conversation—can lead to significant improvements in focus, creativity, handling pressure, and in personal and professional relationships.

Entrepreneurs often work overtime with their minds, especially in the startup industry. However, sometimes it's essential to give the mind less control so that a softer, more emotional approach can emerge. Breathwork is a tool to bypass the mind, opening up the consciousness in a new way, helping us make clearer decisions. Every leader has the responsibility to refill their fuel tank to remain truly connected internally.

Nimrod is a prime example of how personal challenges can lead to finding one's purpose and impacting the lives of many. His story is inspiring, showing us the power of breathwork as a tool for healing, growth, and success.
