Anatomy & Physiology for Breathwork Practitioners

Anatomy Meets Breath: Foundations for Practitioners
Explore the structure and function of the pulmonary system, and how breathwork uniquely interacts with it — including key distinctions from hyperventilation and hypoventilation.
Dive into the “7 Belts of Tension,” the psoas muscle, and the fascia network to understand how the body stores trauma and restricts breath.
Gain essential safety insights, including trauma-informed anatomy, nervous system function, and contraindications to ensure effective and responsible client care.
What This Webinar Includes
Understand the structure and function of the respiratory system, and how breathwork differs from clinical hypoventilation and hyperventilation.
Study the muscular, emotional, and energetic patterns that shape breath and movement — and how these zones store trauma.
Learn how the psoas muscle and fascia network influence breath, posture, trauma, and overall safety in breath sessions.
Recognize physiological red flags, such as heart conditions and nervous system sensitivities, to guide safe client interaction.
Essential Body Knowledge for Safe and Effective Breathwork
This focused webinar offers essential anatomical, physiological, and trauma-informed knowledge tailored for breathwork professionals. Understand how the body responds to breath, tension, and release — and ensure safe, effective client work grounded in science and somatic insight.
