This 12-hour live online course for those who want a full experience of Breath-Body-Mind (BBM) practices. It is also preparation for and a prerequisite to the BBM Level-1 Instructor Training Course.
The BBM practices are designed to activate mind-body communication pathways, raise energy, regulate mood, enhance performance, reduce inflammation, and help dissolve pain; this training is for anyone who wishes to improve their stress resilience, physical health, and general well-being.
BBM Fundamentals is ideal for all those interested in wellness. Participants typically include yoga teachers and practitioners, psychologists, therapists, coaches, nurses, doctors, school teachers, first responders, relief workers, staff from NGOs, and administrators.
The benefits of Breath-Body-Mind have been shown in healthcare practitioners, individuals with psychiatric and medical conditions, at-risk children, veterans, active-duty military, research studies, and survivors of disasters.
Following this course, we highly recommend attending a weekly BBM practice session (45 - 60 minutes) for a minimum of six weeks for BBM Level-1 Instructor Training. You can also attend BBM practice sessions prior to BBM Fundamentals training. This BBM Course and six follow-up sessions fulfill the prerequisites for L1 BBM Instructor Training.
During this 2-day BBM Fundamentals Course, you will learn breathing techniques shown to relieve stress and improve mood, mental focus, and performance. Positive effects have been experienced by individuals with anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADD and other medical conditions. Many people who have practiced these techniques say that they feel transformed, and they never would have imagined that something so simple could be so effective.
The schedule for the two-day course includes instruction on the following:
Activating movement and breath practices
Calming movement and breath practices
Variations of the “Ha” breath
Coherent Breathing, with and without movement
Science and research lecture
