You take 22,000 breaths every day. What if each one could transform your life?

"Stressed? Overwhelmed? Anxious? You're not alone. In a world moving at breakneck speed, millions are discovering an ancient solution hiding in plain sight—your breath."

We take about 22,000 breaths every day. Most happen automatically, but when we bring awareness to the breath, something shifts. Our bodies soften, our nervous system settles, and we open space for insight and connection.

This free course is an introduction to breathwork and explores the history of breathwork and an overview of modern science. It’s an invitation to slow down, reconnect with your breath, and discover simple techniques you can use anytime.

What is Breathwork

Breathwork is an umbrella term for various breath practices. Some practices awaken and activate the nervous system and practices that can help calm and regulate the nervous system. For thousands of years, cultures around the world have turned to the breath for healing, transformation, and connection to the sacred. Now, you can learn how to tap into this timeless practice with modern tools and guidance.

Why Breathwork Matters

In a world that moves quickly, it’s easy to find ourselves stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed. Our minds race at night, our nervous systems stay on high alert, and even rest can feel out of reach.

Breathwork offers a way back into balance. It’s a natural, accessible tool you carry with you everywhere. A few intentional breaths can calm anxiety, quiet the mind, and open the door to deeper awareness.

Across cultures, people have used the breath for healing and transformation for over 5,000 years. Today, research confirms what these traditions always knew: how we breathe shapes how we feel, think, and experience life.

Science is catching up with what mystics have always known—your breath can shift brain chemistry, regulate your emotions, and open access to deeper states of awareness. Whether you’re looking for more calm in daily life or a safe path to explore the edges of consciousness, breathwork is one of the most powerful tools available.
