The Art of Un-Learning: the ultimate foundation for daily nervous system regulation
LEVEL 0 ● Pre-pranayama ● 9 Days ● $99
The most common mistake people make when starting breathwork is jumping straight into complex techniques. It is like attempting to summit Mount Everest without taking time to acclimatise — your system simply is not prepared for the shift. Chronic stress, poor posture, and years of desk work have conditioned most bodies into a state of anxious, shallow chest breathing.
If you try to force advanced breathing techniques onto a tight chest and a frozen diaphragm, you risk triggering anxiety rather than relieving it.
In this 9-day pre-pranayama foundation course, we guide you through that vital acclimatisation. We analyse your current breathing habits, provide corrective exercises to fix hidden imperfections, and safely build the physical and neurological foundation required for all authentic breathwork that follows.
Why pre-pranayama matters
Pre-pranayama serves as the essential physiological preparation for authentic breathwork. Due to the relentless pace of modern life, most people live trapped in a subconscious fight-or-flight response. This survival state tightens the respiratory muscles and triggers hyperventilation — locking the body into a cycle of shallow breathing and anxiety. Attempting intensive breathwork while your body is in this state can overload the system, causing dizziness, tightness, or even panic.
This preparatory foundation course gently overrides the fight-or-flight response. It wakes up the diaphragm, stretches the intercostal muscles, and widens your internal breathing capacity so you can process increased oxygen and life-force energy safely and calmly.
