Breath is life.
Breath is quiet, yet all powerful.
Breath is your most intimate companion from beginning
to end and beyond.
Science is now catching up to what the yogis have known about breath for millennia. Healing your breath capacity and learning to consciously breathe in movement and stillness, in agitation and joy can lower heart
rate, alleviate stress, support sleep, expand your capacity for life-force and serve as a bridge to your spiritual nature.
Breath As Medicine (B.A.M.) is an introductory series introducing you to this life-giver we call breath. B.A.M. will show you the way to assess your current breath and give you the remedy practices to restore full capacity. When you have a strong foundation, all techniques, including the popular hyperventilation
practices, will have greater benefit.
Using movement, lecture and experience, we will:
Assess and heal your breath capacity using the B.A.M. protocol
Discover the anatomy, technology and spirituality of breathing
Explore techniques to reduce stress, aid sleep and energize the body
Take control of your habitual patterns of mind by taking control of your breath
Allow Breath to be the ‘revealer’ and the ‘teacher’ in your movement practices, especially in yoga.
Consider how fewer yoga asanas with greater concentration brings greater benefit to body and mind.

In-person teachings with Therese and her attention to your personal breath

"The cascading effects of shallow breathing are monumental, affecting every system of the body. The strain this presents on our biochemistry, over time, is life-threatening" -- Cleveland Clinic
For centuries yogis have understood the intimate relationship between the mind and the breath—and now science is catching up. The primary movement of your body and most powerful force in your life is the quiet cycling of your breath. Consciously learning how to breath in movement and stillness, agitation and joy can lower your heart rate, alleviate stress, enhance concentration, support sleep and expand your capacity for life-force.
After you meet your breath, you can listen and assess its needs and, together, you can open its capacity, slow it down and cultivate steadiness that will serve you in all of the ups and downs of life. Plus, BREATHING IS FREE and always ready to play and serve you!
