About this Event

Connect More Deeply to your Breath than you Imagined Possible in Any Plane of Gravity (Hybrid)

A Franklin Method of Imagery Breathing Workshop with Christa Rypins


How you breathe affects your experience of life on nearly every level, and, yet, how breathing works is largely a mystery. Even for yoga and meditation practitioners, breathing can be an effort.

Using movement, touch, and anatomical imagery Christa will lead you to a picture and feeling of how your diaphragm-your most important breathing muscle- moves as you breathe.


This tool of imaging your own breathing apparatus:

  • calms anxiety
  • boosts cardiovascular function
  • heals stored trauma
  • improves digestion
  • advances athletic performance
  • develops a deep sense of safety within yourself
  • connects you to yourself and the universe all at once

You are sure to leave inspired by your own breath.


Christa Rypins has had two drives in her life - figure skating and how to make sense of life. She began a Zen meditation practice at 26 and performed as a professional figure skater until age 35.

Combining the body with awareness remains her passion.

In addition to athletics, Christa has studied, practiced, and taught healing modalities including yoga, somatics, Pilates, and Franklin Method Imagery.

The Franklin Method, a system of anatomical embodiment using movement, touch, and imagery, is the transformational tool that underlies all of Christa’s work. She uses embodiment to help athletes feel more connected to their bodies so they can achieve their goals, and the rest of us to feel more connected to our bodies so we can heal pain and enjoy our lives. In addition to meditation, embodiment has had the most profound effect on Christa’s health and wellbeing.

Christa’s passion is giving people ways to feel more in their body to increase their choices.

She is excited to share this simple but unknown tool with devoted meditators of the SF Dharma Collective!
