Where Breathwork Is Going (And Why It Matters Now)
When we first began our breathwork journey, we believed transformation came through long, intense sessions. But over time—and through working with thousands of clients—we realized something deeper:
Breathing is a behavior.
And behavior can be observed, measured, understood, and changed.
Through our work with clients, our collaboration with Dr. Peter Litchfield, and the insights we’ve gathered using the CapnoTrainer, we’ve come to understand this truth more clearly than ever:
Breathwork is not the same as breathing.
And now, the rest of the world is starting to catch on.
With a growing demand for evidence-based approaches to nervous system regulation, more professionals in medicine, mental health, performance, and coaching are asking the right questions:
How do I know if this breathing work is actually helping?
How do I measure it, track real change, and know it’s working?
This is where Behavioral Breathwork comes in.
It’s not a trend… it’s a necessary evolution.
Our mission is simple:
To train as many people as possible in the science and practice of Behavioral Breathwork—so that when someone is ready to take their breathing seriously, there’s a trained facilitator who knows how to guide them with clarity, compassion, and evidence-based tools.
Whether you’re just starting out or deep in this work already, thank you for being part of this movement.
We’re grateful to have you here—and we hope this week’s insights support you in continuing to grow and share this work.
With Appreciation,
Shane & Angie
Featured Insight of the Week
“The most effective Breathwork begins with awareness...
Not a technique.”
Focus: The A.I.R. Framework for One-to-One Client Work
In the first three weeks of the Behavioral Breathwork Facilitator Training, we laid the groundwork for supporting clients through the A.I.R. Framework—Awareness, Intervention, Regulation. This is the pathway back to natural, automatic self-regulation—what behavioral science identifies as the foundation of health and wellness.
Week 1 – Awareness: We explored Reflexive Breathing and how observation, not technique, is the first step toward meaningful change.
Week 2 – Intervention: We introduced responsive tools like core functions of breathing like spaces, pacing and shapes to gently shift dysfunctional patterns.
Week 3 – Regulation: We explored how true regulation arises when we support, not override, the body’s natural rhythm.
This week, our Behavioral Breathwork Facilitators received a detailed blueprint for helping clients use breathing as a tool for nervous system regulation.

Deepen Your Learning: The Breathing Science Course
Learn about breathing through the lens of Behavioral Science.
In our self-paced Breathing Science Course, you’ll learn to observe, interpret, and gently guide breathing patterns using behavioral principles and physiology… not guesswork or gimmicks.
This course challenges common assumptions about breathwork and introduces practical methods for restoring healthy respiratory behavior.
This course is ideal for health professionals, coaches, and facilitators who want to deepen their ability to support change at the source.
Grounded in Dr. Peter Litchfield’s decades of research.

Tools We Use: Meet the CapnoTrainer GO
Your breathing patterns reveal more than you think.
Real change starts with real data.
The CapnoTrainerGO is a powerful tool that measures your exhaled CO₂ in real time, giving you immediate insight into how your breathing is affecting your body, mind, and performance. It’s a simple, non-invasive way to track and retrain your breathing—based not on guesswork, but on real data.
Whether you’re a wellness practitioner or just breath-curious, this device can help you or your clients understand and transform dysfunctional breathing habits at the source.

Exciting News!
A New Collaboration with the
Professional School of Behavioral Health Sciences
We’re excited to share that I (Angie) have taken on a new role as Director of Admissions at the Professional School of Behavioral Health Sciences.
Shane and I have worked closely with Dr. Peter Litchfield and Sandra Reamer for over five years, translating their research into practical programs that are now being used in clinical, coaching, and wellness contexts.
This new partnership brings together science, breath, and behavioral health in a more accessible and applied way.
More updates are coming soon.
