Breath in Your Neuromyofascial Web
Presented by Tom Myers
Breath is a never-ending wave of life. Our breath never stops, but we humans introduce holding to our breath that saps our consciousness and energy and attention away from the present moment – in yoga or in life.
In this course, we get to explore breath in a variety of ways, based on Tom’s 50 years in the field, including:
