How long have you been practicing? How did you get started?
I have been practicing since 1987 when I had a massive "spiritual" awakening. I was an integral member of the newly forming group which ultimately created Full Wave Breathing as The International Breath Institute.
What motivated you to take on students?
I've always wanted to help people find their inner divine path whatever that means for them. Taking on students just made sense once I knew how to hold sacred space and guide, teach and train people to awaken their Intuition, follow their guidance and apply breathwork as a main tool.
What would you advise beginners?
Trust the process, be curious and interested, and know you're worth the love that will unfold be it meditation or breathwork.
Do you feel anyone can enjoy and gain from this practice?
Of course! As newborn babies, we all had open breath capacity unless it was a traumatic birth with complications. Returning to a healthy fully open breath is based on the body's intelligence and memory of having done so. It's natural only most people live with constricted, shallow breath because they don't want to FEEL. This is why so many people are in their heads all the time.
Why should somebody consider trying breath work at all?
If anyone wants to be FULLY ALIVE, they've got to move their energy and access their unlimited divine intelligence in an EMBODIED way, not mental/conceptual only.
