Description

Taking a breath is central to the human experience: it's the first, and the last, thing you'll ever do. It happens with and without voluntary control. For these reasons and more perhaps, most meditative and movement traditions have placed great importance on coming to know one's own breathing.

So whether you're not even sure how the lungs fill, or you do know but want to get a deeper understanding into what happens in the autonomic nervous system with an exhale, or you can release tight shoulders by freeing up your diaphragm ... This could be an awesome course for you.

Watch the video to get a sense of the curriculum. Thanks and hope to see you in a minute!

Who this course is for:

  • Bodyworkers, movement teachers, body-based therapists who are interested in the breath.
