We are all breathworkers, whether we realize it or not. Breath controls our nervous system, influencing our mind and body - let's cover this here in this video!

If someone is in a defensive state, no matter the work you’re doing, it might not fully land. Starting with breathwork ensures their system is ready to receive and integrate your work.

If you're interested in learning more about deeper journeys, nervous system communication, and advanced techniques, reach out to us. Schedule a call with our education team to see if it aligns with you.

Even if you don’t, a part of our mission is to spread this knowledge so we can reconnect with ourselves, each other, and our communities. Healing is about integration and connection.

I hope you gain a lot from this practice. Reach out if you need anything. Let’s weave the web of a disconnected world back to the intelligence of our being.

For practitioners, this practice has various applications:

Body-Based Practitioners: If you're a chiropractor, physical therapist, bodyworker, or yoga teacher, start your sessions with a short breathwork practice. It helps open up the body, release defense mechanisms, and puts clients in a receptive state. I’ve seen this enhance the effectiveness of bodywork and corrective exercises, making them stick better.

Mind-Based Practitioners: If you're a coach, therapist, or counselor, incorporating breathwork helps your clients become more open and coachable. It prepares their body and mind for revisiting stories, reframing beliefs, and processing emotions. This creates a conducive environment for deeper work.
