Aaron Hanson
Aaron Hanson is a teacher, breathwork facilitator, musician, and coach dedicated to helping people transform stress into presence, discover peace, and align their lives with purpose.
After formal studies in Ethnomusicology, Acoustics, Recording Technology, Scandinavian Studies, Norse Mythology, and Viking History, Aaron expanded his inquiry into the nature of vibration itself—earning a Master of Arts in Yoga, advanced certifications in Yoga Philosophy, Pranayama, Holotropic Breathwork, and training in mystic and healing arts. This foundation—both scientific and spiritual—formed his lifelong pursuit: the study of vibration as the universal principle that underlies all things.
Aaron’s path has taken him deep into ceremonial traditions across cultures. Years of immersion in the Afro-Brazilian syncretic tradition of Umbanda awakened his understanding of vibration in consciousness, divinity, and nature, while Gnostic mysticism gave him a framework for holding sacred space and supporting hundreds of participants in transformational experience. His studies in Kabbalah further deepened this grounding. Weaving these currents together, Aaron carries a unique thread of Norse mysticism, rooted in his Scandinavian heritage. His ongoing project, Odin’s Breath, emerges from his research in Odinic practices of breath and consciousness, exploring the overlooked relationship between Christ and Odin—a fusion of mystic wisdoms rarely addressed in contemporary frameworks.
At the heart of Aaron’s work is his gift for using breath as a technology of presence and transformation. Drawing on both scientific research and mystical practice, he helps individuals and organizations unlock the nervous system’s capacity for resilience, regulation, and renewal. His programs have guided thousands of people—teachers, construction workers, executives, hospital staff, social workers, and more—through practical methods to reduce stress, cultivate calm, and discover clarity of purpose.
Aaron’s mission is to awaken the Sacred Masculine and empower people to access their essence and sculpt their energy into new, life-giving expressions of service, leadership, and creativity. Having himself journeyed through alcoholism, divorce, depression, and anxiety, he now lives a life of purposeful entrepreneurship, mentorship, and facilitation—helping others transform struggle into strength.
Born and raised in Minnesota with ancestral roots in Norway, Aaron now dwells in the mountains of Central California, traveling widely to lead trainings, ceremonies, and corporate workshops. Wherever he goes, he carries with him the deep conviction that we are vibration itself—an essence of creation capable of healing, presence, and profound transformation.

“I’ve worked with Aaron on multiple occasions, and every time I’m blown away by the impact his work has on me.

I can’t recommend him enough.”
