Please join us for this unique Dissection Livestream event focused on the breath dynamics with Anatomy Trains author Tom Myers, and Master Dissector Todd Garcia.

We will tour the unique lived experience of human breath, from the inhale to the exhale in 3 x 2 hour modules.

This course will be provided over zoom webinar with multiple camera views, live chat and Q&A. Recordings will be provided via password protected streaming access for 5 days. This special dissection livestream format allows us to go more deeply into the relationships and applications to multiple manual and movement modalities, from athletic training to trauma resolution to osteopathy.
