Workshops Coming Up

We work with individuals and groups, live or on zoom.

High blood pressure, anxiety, asthma, COPD, stroke, Parkinson’s? Do you know a child who gets too out of breath to play soccer? Do you know an adult who gets out of breath walking up stairs? We teach Coherent Breathing and this practice has helped people with all the above conditions. We’re not offering a cure. We’re offering a way to better manage the symptoms of the ailment.

We work with individuals and groups. We’ve been trained in Coherent Breathing by Richard P. Brown MD and Patricia Gerbarg MD, We suggest you read their book The Healing Power of the Breath, available on Amazon.com.

If you have done Coherent Breathing in the past, how is it coming along? Are you noticing any benefits? It does take daily practice to gain lasting benefits. A good guideline is to start at 5 minutes a day and work up to 20 minutes a day.

With a breathing problem like COPD or asthma, Richard P. Brown MD says that doing Coherent Breathing 20 minutes a day for nine months can improve breath function considerably.

Many people find breath music very helpful. It guides you to the optimum number of seconds for in breath and out breath. We can send the breath music to you via email.
