RootBreath
by Kairav Mittal
How It Started
In 2023 I visited Crewe for the first time and witnessed firsthand what chronic, unmanaged stress does to people with no access to wellness resources. What I saw stayed with me. The weight people carried, visible in their faces and their posture, with nowhere to turn and no tools to cope. I had spent years learning breath work, mindfulness, and the eight limbs of yoga under Master Kamal. I realized I had a responsibility to share those tools with the people who needed them most. That moment turned my practice into a purpose - and Project Root was born.
