About this Event
Description
This breathwork workshop is a deep dive into the science and power of breath holds, one of the most overlooked and undertrained tools for nervous system regulation, mental resilience, and overall health.
Most people live in a state of chronic overbreathing.
Too fast. Too shallow. Too reactive.
This creates:
- anxiety
- poor focus
- low energy
- disrupted sleep
- and a body that feels constantly “on edge”
Through the science of breath holds, you will learn how to reverse this pattern at the root.
Breath holds train your body to tolerate rising CO2 levels, which directly impacts:
- your ability to stay calm under stress
- your oxygen efficiency at the cellular level
- your mental clarity and decision-making
- your emotional control in high-pressure situations
By working with controlled breath retention, you begin to shift from a reactive system…
into a regulated, resilient, and powerful baseline.
This is not theory.
This is physiology you will feel in real time.
What You’ll Learn
- Why CO2, not oxygen, is the real driver of your breath
- How low CO2 tolerance fuels anxiety and overthinking
- The Bohr Effect and how breath holds improve oxygen delivery
- How to use breath holds to downregulate stress quickly
- The connection between breath, nervous system, and long-term health
- Simple, repeatable protocols to use daily for calm, focus, and recovery
The Experience
This workshop is both educational and experiential.
You will be guided through:
- foundational breath awareness
- controlled nasal breathing techniques
- safe and structured breath hold exercises
- practical applications for real-life stress, performance, and recovery
You won’t just understand it…
you’ll feel the shift happen in your body.
Outcome
By the end of this session, you will walk away with:
- a measurable understanding of your current breath capacity
- tools to regulate your nervous system on command
- increased calm, clarity, and control
- a deeper connection to your body and internal state
Second Hour: 9D Breathwork Journey

This journey is a somatic release and recalibration.
You may experience:
- emotional release
