On demand videos

Livestream practice

Flexibility and strength
Tension in the neck, shoulders, and belly can force shallow, inefficient breathing. Learn to relax and hone in on the strength that lies beneath the surface with this powerful practice!
Stress reduction
Deep breathing reduces the concentration of stress hormones. It stimulates a parasympathetic nervous system response that includes the release of hormones that help us to feel relaxed, contented, and happy.
Improved posture
When you recognize your body as a vehicle for breath and find the joy and power of its full capacity… you will also find the postures that support this potential. The more you practice, the more integrated and sustainable this efficient postures will become.
