Breath is essential to life​


In this workshop we enhance the versatility and adaptability of our breathing by exploring simple breath, sound and movement sequences.

  • Expand your concept 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/sound patterns to increase the scope and versatility of the breath, and practice utilizing them within a session.

Breathwork allows us to participate with the larger sphere of life processes and our biological origins. We are led to gently merge into the formlessness and flux that facilitates change and out of that discover the coherency of the system and its inherent ability to reorganize and heal.

This course is a professional development course.
Your own Breathwork practice will enhance your ability to resonate with clients, and to help them access their own healing potential.
  • Breath can reach into places otherwise not accessible to the hand.
  • Breath can vibrate, hydrate and loosen tissues which are deeply held.
  • Breath can create a shift in mass and density.
  • Breath can increase receptivity and resonance of the whole system.
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.

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.

Breath is a means of reaching into our internal climate to create currents of informing, nourishment, revitalization and healing.

​The shaping of varied sounds creates resonance
which vibrates, hydrates and dissolves, gently opening our deepest defenses.

The exploration of sensation in these expanded states reveals the fluid movements which are inherent to our biological origins.

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.
