Body & Breath: Breath for Stress Relief

Body & Breath: Breath for Stress Relief

Deepen your understanding of breathing and learn practical ways to guide accessible breathwork for stress relief.

Who this is for

Yoga teachers who want to deepen their understanding of breathing anatomy and bring accessible breathwork into their classes. Ideal for teachers seeking practical experience alongside clear guidance on cueing, adapting practices, and supporting individual student responses.

Benefits

• Clearer guidance in breath awareness and calming breath practices.

• Options that respect individual comfort and response.

• Breath-focused movement and self-myofascial release to explore breathing mechanics.

• More choice in how they participate, without pressure to breathe a particular way.

What to expect

• Breathing anatomy and stress: Explore the diaphragm, rib cage, intercostals, accessory breathing muscles, and the relationship between breath and the autonomic nervous system.

• Breath awareness and guided practice: Experience comfortable, slower breathing, extended exhales, purposeful sighing, and alternate nostril breathing.

• Movement and self-myofascial release: Use gentle movement and a soft inflatable ball to explore the tissues involved in breathing.

• Teaching applications: Discuss accessible cues, adaptations, student choice, and ways to incorporate these practices into yoga classes.

• Integration and questions: Close with rest and discussion of how to apply what you’ve learned.

What started as a gentle, low-impact practice became a way to rebuild strength, restore mobility, and feel more at ease in my body. That experience continues to shape how I teach. I offer live online classes, an on-demand video library, private yoga, and work...
