Exploring the Breath - A Six-Part Series

Breath is the most immediate movement available to you — and there's usually more here than we've been shown.

For something so foundational to health and to our felt sense of being alive, breathing rarely gets the careful attention it deserves. This six-week series changes that. We'll explore the breath from both Western and Eastern perspectives — anatomy, physiology, energetics, and subtlety — with the goal of bringing those two worlds together into something practical and meaningful.

Through somatic practice, guided breathwork, and direct experiential exploration, you'll develop a working relationship with your diaphragm and ribcage, learn the foundations of conscious breathing, and come away with tools you can actually use — in movement, in stillness, and in daily life.

What you'll explore:

• Functional anatomy of the breath — diaphragm, ribcage, and supporting structures

• Basic practical physiology of breathing

• Movement practices to open the musculoskeletal structures that support breathing

• Foundational yogic breathing and Ujjayi pranayama

• Alternate nostril breathing

• Paced breathing

• Breath integrated with movement

• The energetics and subtleties of the breath from an Eastern perspective

Each session includes:

• Full class recording

• Supporting practice resources
