Niraj Naik leads a breathwork masterclass using rhythmic breathing and breath retention to trigger intermittent hypoxia, measured with a pulse oximeter. The practice aims for heart coherence and mitochondrial benefits, though it's unsafe for people with uncontrolled hypertension, pregnancy, epilepsy, or pacemakers. He also describes his paid 21-day Soma protocol and instructor training program.
