I am Mauricio Gil, a breathwork facilitator and functional breathing instructor based in Lima, Peru. Since 2020, I have worked with individuals, private groups and corporate clients, designing sessions and ongoing programmes around their needs and goals. My aim is to make breathing practices understandable and accessible, helping people develop breath awareness and explore ways to support their everyday wellbeing.
I am an Oxygen Advantage Advanced Instructor and a SOMA Breath Advanced Instructor. My additional training includes Wim Hof Breathwork Fundamentals, Dan Brulé’s O2 Collective, and other breathwork and meditation courses. These different perspectives inform my work, from functional breathing education to guided breathwork experiences. I adapt the approach to the setting and the people I am working with, whether in an individual session, a group workshop or a retreat.
I facilitate both in-person and online sessions in Spanish and English. My experience includes approximately 150 group sessions, with an average of 15 participants, and at least 30 online sessions delivered in English. I have also organised and facilitated nine week-long wellness retreats in the Peruvian rainforest. Four were conducted entirely in English, with all sessions guided in that language. My responsibilities have included programme design, coordination with other facilitators and leading breathwork sessions.
My background in journalism, photography and university teaching also informs my approach as an instructor. I hold a university degree in Journalism and previously taught photography at Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas in Lima. These experiences have strengthened my ability to observe, communicate and explain ideas clearly. Alongside my facilitation work, I create Spanish-language YouTube content about breathwork and mindset, extending my teaching beyond individual sessions, workshops and retreats.
