Breath is essential to life​


The most potent and universal movement occurs in the primary process of exchange between ourselves and our environment. Its rhythm moves everything.

Breath is a means of reaching into our internal landscape to create currents of information, nourishment, revitalization, and healing. There is nothing more distinctly "us" than our breathing rhythm. It is as intimate as our signature, or our fingerprints.
When we are in pain or afraid, we freeze, causing the cycles of open/close, act/rest, give/receive to become interrupted. The most powerful way to settle ourselves is to join the fundamental rhythm of  open/close once again. This slows the system and resets our fight/flight mechanisms.
  • Breath can reach into places otherwise not accessible to the hand.
  • Breath can vibrate, hydrate and loosen restrictions in both micro and macro applications.
  • This profound entry way can help to create a state change in yourself and others.

Come away with Somatic Breathwork techniques to increase the effectiveness of your hands-on work.
  • Expand your conception of "breath" to include not only its biological underpinnings, but also its potent and universal scope.
  • Understand the anatomical and biochemical features of the breathing process.
  • Learn how to use Breathwork practices to open the system, create change and enhance your own and your clients' access to well-being.
  • Learn breath patterns to increase the scope and versatility of the breath.
Learning experiences include: learning breath techniques which can be integrated into a hands-on session, assessment tools and a brief review of the anatomical features of breathing.

Students will be able to:
  • Observe the breath wave in a client and assess their breath restrictions.
  • List the myofasciae employed in diaphragmatic and costal breathing.
  • Teach a Breathwork exercise to a client

Breathwork Essentials

Breath is essential to life.
Movement signals the presence of life.
The most vital movements occur in the flow of fluids within our system.

Our capacity for inspiration and expiration
not only connects us to the deepest parts of ourselves,
but also links us to the profound rhythms of the universe.

Breath connects inside to outside, solidity to the dissolution of form, life to death to life.


This course is a professional development course.
Learn simple tools to create change in your clients. Enhance your ability for resonance 
 help people access their own potential.

This course is also a self-development class. 
Dissolve your own holding patterns at their deepest metabolic roots.

This course is open to anyone with a curiosity about their own organism and a hunger for the gush of life.
