Breathe Easier
Beginner | All Levels
We all know that life depends on our ability to breathe. But we rarely think about the quality of our breath. And the quality of our breath, especially our restrictions, can impact the quality of our life. How we breathe impacts our physical balance and emotional states, bringing us more comfort or exacerbating our pain.
Unfortunately, most people live with a limited ability to breathe. These breathing changes can be brought on by trauma, ongoing pain, movement restrictions, or adopting an idea of what excellent breathing is and how it should look. In the process of conforming to an ideal, we lose options.
The lessons in this series will help you release the breathing habits holding you back. You will learn how to differentiate the secondary muscles of breathing from the action of breathing itself. For most, this means more natural movement and less pain.

“I had no idea that I held my breath so often. At first, it annoyed me, almost wishing I hadn’t started being mindful of my breath. But after four weeks of moving through this program, I’m happy to say that I rarely find myself holding my breath. When I do, I use it as a cue to check in with myself. Now I LOVE tuning into my breath. ”

“I found these lessons to be a powerful addition to my chronic pain tool kit. I tend to have a lot of pain in my lower back and sacrum. But lying down and doing some abdominal breathing stops it in its tracks.
