Attend an inspiring two-day workshop…

 

GOOD BREATHING, BAD BREATHING.

 

See impressive live demonstrations, using innovative technology with 8 people at a time. See firsthand how good and bad breathing can profoundly affect us all.

 

Learn about the profound effects of changing respiratory chemistry on physiology, health, cognition, emotion, behavior, performance, consciousness.

 

Learn about how breathing can explain “unexplained” symptoms and deficits, usually mistakenly attributed to other causes by both professionals and lay persons.

 

Learn about how learned breathing behavior may mediate placebo/nocebo effects attributed to treatments and other “convenient” explanations.

 

Learn about practical applications in education, corporate coaching, counseling, psychology, athletics, fitness training, healthcare, and peak performance training.

 

This is a program for virtually anyone seriously interested in breathing,

but is especially for clinicians, consultants, and educators.

 

 

BE PREPARED FOR SOME SERIOUS SURPRISES, even if you’re an expert.

 

Few people, lay or professional, know that (1) breathing directly regulates body chemistry, including pH, electrolyte balance, blood flow, hemoglobin chemistry, and kidney function, and that (2) breathing is a behavior subject to the same principles of learning as any other behavior, including the role of motivation, emotion, attention, perception, and memory.  Bringing together these two simple facts means bringing together the biological and behavioral sciences in profoundly practical ways relevant to the lives of millions.  It changes the way that we think about ourselves and our physiology.

 

Failure to directly address breathing as learned behavior, and how it regulates fundamental body chemistry, means leaving out the most fundamental, practical, and profound factors that account for (1) the far-reaching effects of bad breathing, as well as for (2) the surprising benefits of good breathing.  “Bad” breathing can cause, trigger, exacerbate, and perpetuate symptoms and deficits of all kinds, ones that typically go “unexplained,” or are falsely attributed to other causes; these effects are real, not imagined.  “Good” breathing, on the other hand, can bring about immensely beneficial physical, mental, and behavioral changes, ones that again may be attributed to other unrelated factors. 

 

Unfortunately, misinformation, misconceptions, pseudoscience prescriptions, and ignorance about breathing prevent people from making good use of basic textbook knowledge.  In this course we describe a solution: comprehensive educational and consulting services for observing, evaluating, and learning breathing behavior.  These services are not about diagnosis and treatment.  They are about learning optimal breathing behavior through self-exploration.  Emphasis is on inside-out learning and intuitive experience, rather than on outside-in “treatments” and prescriptive exercises.
