About Hale

A modern approach to an ancient tool.

At Hale, we make breathwork practical, science-based, and built for daily life.

We believe your breath is one of the most effective tools you have to manage stress, recover faster, and show up with focus. That’s why everything we do is grounded in science, structured for results, and designed to fit into real life, whether you’re a wellness professional, a busy parent, or a high performer under pressure.

Founded in Stockholm in 2019 by Johnny Oduya, a former NHL player and two-time Stanley Cup champion, Hale was born out of a personal journey with performance, recovery, and mental clarity. After a decade of exploring breathing science, somatic tools, and nervous system training, Johnny brought together a team of experts across sports science, wellness, and education to make breathwork both credible and accessible.

Behind Hale is a growing team of experienced breath guides, coaches, and science advisors who share one goal: to make better breathing a powerful, everyday habit.
