Instructors

Mo Islam is a breathwork instructor and mountaineer whose journey began in the high altitudes of the Himalayas. While training at the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute (HMI) in India, they discovered the transformative power of breath as a tool for endurance, focus, and survival in extreme environments.

What began as a performance technique for mountaineering evolved into a lifelong exploration of breath as a pathway to resilience, nervous system regulation, and embodied presence. Through years of study and practice, Mo realized these same principles could help people navigate everyday life with greater clarity, balance, and ease.

Inspired by their experiences in the mountains, Mo created Stillpoint Breath to bridge modern respiratory science with timeless breathing wisdom. Their mission is to help others cultivate healthier breathing patterns, strengthen nervous system resilience, and discover the stillpoint—a place of calm, clarity, and inner strength that becomes increasingly accessible through conscious practice.
