I'm Pete Warnock, the founder of Naturally Ecstatic, and my journey of healing and self-discovery began at the age of five, shaped by chronic back pain from accidents, an operation that led to feelings of being "broken," and a forced switch from left to right-handed, causing severe dyslexia and self-doubt. I found solace in my breath, which allowed me to relax, enter states of trance, and reduce pain and confusion.
My struggles with pain, school, and later sexual trauma led to depression, and in 1991, a breakthrough. I embraced daily meditation and moved away from antidepressants, and began to unravel deep insights about pain, suffering, and humanity. This journey led me to begin my training in holistic therapies, and I became a full-time masseur and healer at Shrubland Hall, where I honed my intuitive skills and incorporated breathwork into my sessions.
Spending long periods of time with various spiritual teachers and attending numerous retreats worldwide sparked my passion for understanding our deeper nature and human potential. In 1995, I started teaching meditation, Reiki, and massage, expanding and mastering my skills over the years. I help people reframe and transform their suffering, work in the realms of sacred intimacy, healing, awakening, and spirituality, guiding them to experience their deepest essence, life, and source of love.
As the founder of Naturally Ecstatic, I integrate my experience and knowledge of pain, joy, and compassion to create events that foster transformation and awakening through connection and fun. With an acute eye for detail and over 30 years of learning, I've distilled and shared my expertise with thousands worldwide and am an authority in ecstatic living and breathwork.
My deepest yearning is for people to meet themselves and each other with reverence, love, and gratitude and to return to the simplicity within our hearts, experiencing our deepest truth and meeting from a place of love, integrity, and connection. Since 2003 I've been a devoted father to my son, Joshua, and since 2008, I've enjoyed a rich and fulfilling tantric relationship with my beloved Kalindi Jordan, with whom I co-run retreats and events in the realms of sacred intimacy, relationship and Tantra.
Since 1992 I have undergone thousands of hours training in and practicing numerous touch and breath based modalities from Chi Kung, various forms of conscious connected breathwork, yoga and pranayama, breath and touch based trauma bodywork and dearmouring. In Thailand in 2002 I attended my first CCB training called Om Breathwork which was a combination of Rebirthing, Holotropic and Chi Kung and in 2010 I spent 9 months training in Rebirthing and Taoist practices and recently attended retreats on Shamanic Breathwork and Biodynamic Breathwork and Trauma Release - just to name a few...
My Bulletproof Breathwork is a diverse and flexible exploration of all aspects of breathwork distillation of everything I have learned about breath, energy, emotional alchemy and consciousness. It teaches practical skills on how we can come out of suffering.
My Approach
Naturally Ecstatic is a comprehensive system that utilises specialized Breath, Energy, and Meditation techniques. Through breathwork, it enables individuals to access inner sources of energy, love, and natural ecstasy. This system combines distinctive breathing exercises with the Naturally Ecstatic meditation method, aimed at stretching and activating the complete respiratory system, building energy, and awakening one's deeper ecstatic nature. The result is a transformative experience that fosters nourishment, healing, and fulfillment by changing one's relationship with bodily sensations and life itself.
What Sets It Apart From Other Breathwork?
Over decades, I mastered breathwork to manage chronic pain from childhood injuries. By optimizing my respiratory system and embracing natural diaphragmatic rhythms, I unlocked deep relaxation and self-healing states. My approach simplifies our original, most efficient breathing habits and reverts our habitual breathing patterns to their natural form. I am often baffled when other teachers say they are teaching full diaphragmatic breathing when to me it is clear that they are only teaching half of the breathing cycle - fully in and release - missing the fully out and release where we cleanse the lungs of stale air and stangant energy. The system also guides diverse breath techniques for varied situations and states of being and allows us to reach a natural euphoria, think clubbing highs without the drugs!
Who Can Benefit?
Naturally Ecstatic Breathwork is great for everyone – as we all breathe. It is especially good for those who have compromised breathing of some kind, unresolved emotional trauma or for those who wish to expand their breathing capacity. It is just as powerful for people wanting to optimise their performance such as athletes, wind instrumentalists and singers. However, Naturally Ecstatic is not only about the breath – it also involves how to cultivate one’s relationship with life and how we receive the moment in a more conscious and positive way. For instance, I teach a lot of yoga teachers as it helps them refine and boost their pranayama practice.
I facilitate people in experiencing deeper states of their innate spirituality, healing and awakening by using breath, meditation and consciousness to guide them into discovering and embodying their ever unfolding potential.
