"The most efficient breath you can take is the one you don’t have to force. Reflexive Breathing brings you back to what’s natural and essential for health."
We’re excited to share that 34 people have joined us for the first Behavioral Breathwork Facilitator Training.
This case study group marks the beginning of a new chapter and we wanted to give you a glimpse into what we’re exploring together.
In our Kickoff Call a few weeks ago, we focused on the foundation of this training:
- Science of Reflexive Breathing
- Your body’s natural, effortless rhythm that often gets overridden by stress, habits, or trauma
- Awareness as the First Intervention
- Before guiding others, we begin by observing our own breath
- How simple, small shifts in breathing can create meaningful change
We also guided a Reflexive Breathing practice, answered some great questions, and set the direction for the weeks ahead.
Trust the Breath You Already Have
There’s a difference between breathing techniques and what your body naturally knows how to do.
Breathwork often gets framed as something you need to control, shape, or force... especially when we’re told that deeper, bigger, more controlled breathing is the goal.
But the truth?
Your body already knows how to breathe.
You don’t need to teach it, you need to listen to it.
Reflexive Breathing...
This is the breath that happens when you stop interfering.
It’s your built-in autopilot... your body’s natural reflex to regulate, restore, and heal.
Most breathing dysfunctions come from overriding this reflex, either consciously (in breathwork techniques) or unconsciously (through habits, stress, trauma).
When we guide others in breathwork, if we’re not mindful, we can accidentally add stress to a system that’s already overloaded.
That’s why in our Behavioral Breathwork Facilitator Training, we start with awareness of the reflex and teach to guide from that place.
No forcing. No pushing. No big cathartic sessions right away...
Just simple, powerful, sustainable change.
Here are some of the Key Takeways from the group:
"Reflexive breathing is a powerful way to develop trust in your body’s natural intelligence."
"Building self-trust and capacity through something so natural and so simple (but not always easy)."
"To allow the pause to be naturally its own length."
"Less is more."
Try Reflexive Breathing for Yourself
This is a brand new training we just created and is the foundation of everything we teach.
Take 3 minutes each morning and evening this week to simply observe your breath... notice your reflex, and when it shifts.
Let your breath lead.
Let your reflex teach.

Or if you’re curious about guiding others and exploring this path yourself, you can join the waitlist for the next Behavioral Breathwork Facilitator Training.
We’ll continue sharing what unfolds inside this training and are grateful to have you with us, wherever you are on your breathwork journey.
With gratitude,
