Breath Lab

Breath Lab (also styled BreathLab or Breath-Lab) is a breathwork studio and method-based training space based in Brighton, United Kingdom. It was founded by Feodor Kouznetsov, a certified Buteyko Method instructor, and operates as a physical practice rather than a purely online wellness offering. The studio's core proposition is the elimination of chronic mouth breathing and the restoration of functional nasal breathing, delivered through structured, in-person sessions that combine Buteyko techniques with nervous system regulation. The brand positions itself against passive or generic wellness consumption. Its founder states that the work "cannot be done fully online" and that Breath Lab exists as a physical space where clients are worked with face-to-face through intensive, deeply regulating sessions. The studio offers individual and group sessions across Brighton, Worthing, Horsham and London, alongside an online assessment for those unable to attend in person. A signature entry-point offering is a 45-minute in-person diagnostic session priced at £59, described as requiring "no commitment, just clarity." Breath Lab's approach is organised around what it calls the "8 Pillars of Reset," a holistic framework covering physiological, safety, belonging, esteem, actualisation, cognitive and related dimensions of wellbeing. The studio emphasises evidence-based practice, Buteyko certification, nervous system reset and personal support. Its stated outcomes include better oxygen intake and usage, improved sleep quality and energy, and lowered anxiety and panic triggers. Beyond standard Buteyko instruction, the founder has developed an applied breathing system called Formula Life, based on clinical work with people suffering from anxiety, ADHD, OCD, burnout, insomnia, panic attacks and chronic stress. The brand's origin story is rooted in Kouznetsov's own physical and mental breakdown in 2016, which led him to explore breathwork methods internationally before developing his own approach. Breath Lab is a private, founder-owned business with no parent company or group affiliation. It operates primarily in the South East of England and online, and is registered in Wikidata as a breathing studio and method-based training space in Brighton, United Kingdom.

Breath Lab was founded by Feodor Kouznetsov as a physical breathwork studio in Brighton, United Kingdom. The brand's origin is closely tied to its founder's personal health crisis: in 2016, Kouznetsov experienced what he describes as a complete physical and mental breakdown while living with ankylosing spondylitis, chronic pain, severe burnout, insomnia, panic attacks, anxiety and ADHD. His search for relief led him across numerous methods, teachers and systems internationally, and ultimately to breathwork. That journey produced a core conviction that shaped the business: conscious breathing is not merely for relaxation but functions as a navigation tool in life. Kouznetsov trained as a certified Buteyko Method instructor, a qualification the studio foregrounds in its marketing. Over time, however, he developed his own applied breathing system called Formula Life, which he describes as going beyond standard Buteyko instruction and being based on real clinical work with people suffering from anxiety, ADHD, OCD, burnout, insomnia, panic attacks and chronic stress. Breath Lab was created with a deliberately narrow focus: to help people eliminate mouth breathing and restore functional nasal breathing properly, safely and permanently. A defining decision was to operate as a physical space rather than an online-only service. The founder argues that this work cannot be done fully online, and that intensive, deeply regulating sessions require personal presence. The studio therefore delivers structured, precise, face-to-face sessions that it characterises as demanding in the best possible way. The studio serves clients across Brighton, Worthing, Horsham and London, offering individual and group sessions. It also provides an online assessment for people who cannot attend in person. A key entry-point product is the 45-minute in-person diagnostic session at the Lab, priced at £59 and marketed with the line "no commitment, just clarity." The brand organises its holistic approach around the "8 Pillars of Reset," covering physiological, safety, belonging, esteem, actualisation, cognitive and related aspects of wellbeing. Breath Lab's stated specialisms include eliminating chronic mouth breathing, retraining dysfunctional breathing patterns, calming the nervous system through controlled CO₂ tolerance, breaking anxiety, panic and mental overdrive at the physiological level, and working with intense internal states that the founder argues cannot be resolved through apps or videos. The brand emphasises evidence-based practice, Buteyko certification, nervous system reset and personal support. It is a private, founder-owned business with no parent company or group affiliation, and it continues to operate as an active studio and training space.
