Science-based breathwork for everyday life.

At Hale, we make breathwork practical, science-based, and built for daily life.

We believe your breath is one of the most effective tools you have to manage stress, recover faster, and show up with focus. That’s why everything we do is grounded in science, structured for results, and designed to fit into real life, whether you’re a wellness professional, a busy parent, or a high performer under pressure.

Founded in Stockholm in 2019 by Johnny Oduya, a former NHL player and two-time Stanley Cup champion, Hale was born out of a personal journey with performance, recovery, and mental clarity. After a decade of exploring breathing science, somatic tools, and nervous system training, Johnny brought together a team of experts across sports science, wellness, and education to make breathwork both credible and accessible.

Behind Hale is a growing team of experienced breath guides, coaches, and science advisors who share one goal: to make better breathing a powerful, everyday habit.

Our mission

What we do

In essence, we help you tap one of your body’s strongest self-healing mechanisms: your breath.

Through controlled exercises carefully and mindfully conducted by our certified breath guides, we awaken your natural ability to breathe diaphragmatically. gradually you will become aware of your breath and learn to adjust its depth and rate. After some practice, you will develop the ability to bring mind and body in balance on your own.

It’s like a superpower.

For those who want to go deeper, we also offer a Breath Coach Certification designed for wellness professionals, facilitators, and educators who want to teach breathwork with confidence, clarity, and credibility.
