The unique hallmark of my teaching is the combination of Support, Suspension, and Breath. The support we receive from the earth, that allows expansion to the heavens above, which invites the flow in and out of breath. We can learn to awaken inherent potential by finding the support from the ground that can lead to full stature and the expanded Self, while noting how trauma and overwhelm can interfere with this process. Because these three components of our daily existence are so vital, I am making the teachings more available.

ESSENTIAL BREATH AND MOVEMENT RETREAT – Level 1 

I have designed a two-day experiential retreat for hands-on practitioners, for exploring breath and movement. The class presents the breathing coordination style of Carl Stough, combined with the principles of Humanual. There are certain anatomical facts about how the respiratory system functions optimally. Carl called this Breathing Coordination (BC). There is also the reality of how body, mind, self, emotions tell you, you need to breath… or not breathe, related to your adaptive or traumatic patterns. In this class, we honor both, the innate and the habitual. We will do hands-on practices exploring the movement of your breath and the natural frequency of your sound, as well as exploring the internal organization of your physicality and what influences or interferes with it.

Next tentative dates for Level 1: September 12-13, 2025
