Come back to the body. Start with the breath.
We breathe all the time, yet we rarely stop to really listen to our breath.
At Masseria Montanari you can live several experiences through the breath: from working on everyday breathing to Breathwork circles, all the way to one-to-one Rebirthing sessions.
A way to slow down, listen to the body and give yourself a space away from everyday life.
Conscious breathing · Breathwork · Rebirthing · Connected breathing
Some days the mind keeps running even once you have stopped.
The body stays tense.
The breath changes.
Switching off becomes hard.
Other times you simply feel the need to come back to yourself a little.
The breath is always with us. But we can learn to listen to it, get to know it and use it as a starting point to come into deeper contact with the body.
This is where our experiences begin.
Not everyone is looking for the same thing. That is why you can choose between three different experiences, with different intensity and aims.
Learning to breathe better in everyday life.
A one-to-one meeting dedicated to the way you breathe.
We look at the breath, nasal and diaphragmatic breathing, the rhythm and the habits that can shape the way you breathe during the day.
It is concrete, conscious work, designed to help you know your breath better and take what you learn with you beyond the Masseria.
About 60 minutes
Discover functional breathing →A group experience through breath, music and body.
For about two hours we leave everyday life outside the door for a while.
Connected breathing is accompanied by music and guidance, creating a space where you can focus on the sensations of the body and on your breath.
Tensions, sensations, emotions or simply more quiet may come up. No experience is needed.
We start from the breath and leave room for the experience.
See the next circles →A one-to-one session of connected breathing and deep listening.
Rebirthing uses a circular, connected way of breathing, accompanied throughout the practice.
We start with an initial conversation. Then, lying down with your eyes closed, you gradually enter the rhythm of the breath.
During the session bodily sensations, emotions, images or moments of deep relaxation may come up. There is no set experience to reach. We work with what emerges, respecting each person’s pace.
About 90-120 minutes, with preparation, practice and final integration.
Discover Rebirthing →Imagine arriving at the Masseria with a full head. We sit down and talk for a few minutes. Then you settle in, the music starts and the rhythm of the day changes.
For a while you can leave what awaits you outside. The breath becomes the point of attention. The body can change rhythm. You may notice sensations that usually go unnoticed.
Warmth, tingling, movement, emotions or simply a feeling of quiet. Every person experiences the practice differently.
At the end we slow down gradually and take the time to come back to everyday life.
The experiences take place at Masseria Montanari, in Carpignano Salentino.
The room used for the practices is a space of about 55 m² in Lecce stone, with natural light and air conditioning.
Outside there are the garden, the olive trees and the countryside of the Grecìa Salentina. A sheltered setting where you can give yourself a few hours away from the usual rhythm.
We are about 25 minutes from Lecce and 20 minutes from Otranto. If you come from further away, you can also stay overnight at the Masseria.
You do not need to know the practices already.

Breath coach and Breathwork facilitator
I guide the breath experiences at the Masseria: from work on functional breathing to Breathwork circles, all the way to one-to-one Rebirthing sessions.
For me the breath is not a technique to perform perfectly. It is a way to go back to listening to what happens in the body.
That is why I try to accompany each person starting from where they are, without assuming that everyone needs the same experience.
The breath is one of the Wellbeing at the Masseria experiences. If instead you feel the need to stop and receive, you can also discover the Reiki experiences with Valentina.
Reiki and astrological consultations
A more receptive experience, dedicated to listening and quiet.
Group experiences, days dedicated to breath and energy and weekends at the Masseria.
Breathwork practices, and in particular those based on circular connected breathing, can be intense and are not suitable for everyone.
Before the more intense sessions there is a short conversation to gather the necessary information and check for any contraindications.
With certain health conditions, pregnancy or other risk factors, some practices may not be advisable.
The experiences offered are wellbeing and awareness activities and do not replace medical or psychological care.
If you have doubts about your personal situation, it is always advisable to talk to your doctor.
You do not need to know which practice to choose yet.
You can simply tell me what brings you here: the wish to slow down, the curiosity to try Breathwork, the desire to work on your breath or the feeling that it is time to stop for a while. I answer personally and we can work out together where to start.
At Masseria Montanari you can meet several wellbeing experiences.
