Read MoreIt was an amazing experience! I did practice breath work before the course. But with the course my morning practice has become twice longer and more effective. I commit 7 days a week! I do breath every morning. Moreover, I have started my club where I invite people to do breath work with me. Thank you very much for such a wonderful course!

Both classes are great and this one specifically taught me a lot of things I didn't know that I needed to know ;) Thank you for putting this class together. May any benefit that I receive ripple out into my community and into the universe. - Namaste

Read MoreHello: I started practicing breathwork on my own three years ago. I was plagued with arrhythmia and high blood pressure since I was a teenager and was on 5 medications. After guided practice, my afib disappeared, and I stopped taking most of my medications. I want to teach others the miracle of breathing practice and found this course to be both inspiring and informative, especially the physiology and science of breathwork sections. I plan to use this excellent course as a template to develop my business through my friend's health clinic in Minneapolis, and I want to target law enforcement organizations in an attempt to add some humanity to the way law enforcement personnel address its mission. Thank you for helping me start my journey!

Read MoreIt’s so clear in this course that Steph has dug deep, and as usual knows her stuff from a real-life practice perspective. What’s really cool though is how Steph’s love for this stuff shines through!!! If you are at all interested in this 1 arm of the 8 limbs of yoga, I totally recommend you dive in. Steph is a great teacher, and just loves & knows yoga inside and out. I have been studying & practicing the physical and emotional benefits of mudras, so it’s great to add thes easy to learn practices to the mudra section of my yoga practice.
