Breath-Body-Mind™ (BBM) integrates ancient and modern trauma-sensitive techniques to rapidly balance stress-response systems for self-care and healing others. Developed by Integrative Psychiatrists, Richard P. Brown, MD and Patricia Gerbarg, MD, BBM has proven benefits—for healthcare professionals, patients, veterans, and child and adult survivors of mass disasters—and has been shown to increase resilience and reduce the effects of stress.
Join Dr. Brown and Dr. Gerbarg, along with other senior BBM teachers, for an online experience designed to help you relieve stress and enhance your physical and mental health. Through gentle movement, breathing, and music, you will:
Learn simple, trauma-sensitive, breath-centered techniques.
Discover how these are used for personal development, clinical practice, medical settings, schools, disaster recovery, and more.
Practice breathwork including coherent breathing, Sky and Earth, Painting the Waterfall, and The Great Harmonizer of the Breath.
Participate in small group processes.
Dr. Gerbarg discusses research—studies of anxiety, PTSD, COVID stress, bowel disease, and everyday stress—on how breath techniques, combined with other practices, lead to significant rapid improvements in psychological and physical wellbeing, sympathetic-parasympathetic balance, emotion regulation, and symptom resolution in a wide range of conditions. She presents new developments in BBM disaster relief in Ukraine, Israel, Turkey, Rwanda, Ireland, and other places. Learn more about this groundbreaking work at breath-body-mind.com.
NOTE: This program is open to all.
Participants who attend all sessions will receive a Breath-Body-Mind certificate of completion.
We strongly advise participants to keep their cameras on during all sessions to allow BBM teachers to monitor and provide additional instructions that will help optimize each person’s breathing practices to gain the greatest benefits.
