Science of Breath
Self-study Workshop
Discover how breath becomes a bridge between body and mind — calming the nervous system, releasing tension, and restoring balance from the inside out.
A Self-Study Workshop on the Vagus Nerve, Fascia, and Functional Breathing
In this self-paced course, we explore the meeting point between ancient pranayama practices and modern breath science. You’ll learn how intentional breathing influences the vagus nerve, balances the autonomic nervous system, and enhances both physical and emotional well-being.
Through fascia-informed anatomy, mindful functional movement, and trauma-aware cueing, you’ll learn to teach and practice breathing in ways that support safety, connection, and regulation.
This is a workshop for yoga teachers, movement educators, and anyone who wants to deepen their relationship with their own breath and body.

Bonus Monthly Practice Sessions
Practice sessions that go along with each module take place once a month on the Wednesday “teenth” (a date between the 13th and 19th, like January 14th or February 18th). It is not required that you attend the Wednesday classes live, though they are a great opportunity to practice with community and ask any questions you may have on our month’s current content. Replays of these classes are provided to you and are part of your course package for extra practice time.
