"When the breath is unsteady, all is unsteady; when the breath is still; all is still. Control the breath carefully. Inhalation gives strength and a controlled body; retention gives steadiness of mind and longevity; exhalation purifies body and spirit." – Goraksha Satakam

As we re-emerge from the stresses and uncertainty of the last few years, breath work and respiratory awareness is integral for us to regain our strength, steadiness and vitality. 

This intensive course with Linda Rago will provide you with:

  • Respiratory theory, detailed anatomical explanations and relationship to meridian systems
  • Practical applications of the theory 
  • Connection and the opportunity for exchange with other practitioners
  • Opportunities for extended course work and a supervised study group 
  • 10 CPE points for online course work with a certificate of course work and attendance

A brief summary of weekly sessions includes:

  • Week 1: A respiratory overhaul, an anatomical guide, the big influencers and some personal practices for the therapist
  • Week 2: Respiration with a focus on the lung/large intestine and kidney/bladder meridians, the bowel and investigation into the relationship between the diaphragm and pelvic floor
  • Week 3: Respiration with respect to the liver/gallbladder and stomach/spleen meridians
  • Week 4: Heart health and breathing
  • Week 5: Integrating breath as a focus in a shiatsu treatment

Linda specialises in the biomechanics, neuromuscular, biochemical and psycho-physiological aspects of breathing, and is passionate about empowering and educating.  

Linda will offer with this course a unique combination of theory, practice and group support, enabling those who attend to be confident in integrating respiratory practices into their treatments. 

Hope to see you there!
