Breath-Body-Mind™ is a unique and transformational system of breathwork practices created by Richard Brown, MD, and Patricia Gerbarg, MD, through years of research and study of breathwork forms throughout the world. It is designed to activate our mind-body communication pathways, raise energy, regulate mood, improve mental focus, enhance performance, reduce inflammation and help dissolve pain. BBM has proven to be effective in addressing severe levels of stress on the brain that do not respond to other approaches.

In this three-day BBM Fundamentals course you will learn multiple breathing techniques that:

  • Increase your stress resilience and renew your energy       

  • Reduce stress, anxiety, depression and insomnia

  • Increase lung capacity, oxygenation and cardio-respiratory health

  • Improve performance in personal and professional activities

You will learn the science behind the Breath-Body-Mind system, BBM body scan and meditation techniques, tips for developing a personal BBM practice, and information for preparing for the Level One Breath-Body-Mind Instructor Training.
