“I can’t take a deep breath”
•
Every day we Field phone calls from people across the world who are running into the same problem. They’re breathing is not doing what they want to and it feels like they can’t take a deep breath. The problem is that most of the education out there is confusing in full of misunderstanding and making things worse! We provide clear language, relatable tools, and research back concepts that make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.
•
You don’t have to feel like you’re breathing is letting you down. Let us show you how to transform this suffering into a superpower.

Wanna make your experience at the dentist less uncomfortable? Here’s how to use your breathing performance!
•
When you understand how to use your anatomy differently, that means structures like your nose, diaphragm tongue, you can make something that’s normally pretty miserable into something that that’s a delightful, relaxing experience.
•
OK, maybe you just make it less uncomfortable but still you have to go anyway. You might as well use your breathing to help you instead of making more anxious.

COHORT #6 - in the books!
•
It’s pretty cool to have this class finish on the last day of school. Lots of transitions and people feeling all the feelings. Tonight was about voice and application of functional breathing for spiritual practices. We got into some really cool territory and it showed just how comfortable this group is with each other after only six weeks together.
•
I’m still amazed that as a physical therapist, my job can reach all these other corners of the human experience. Functional breathing is the gateway to literally every aspect of being alive.
•
So as you’re sitting there reading this, put your tennis ball on your diaphragm, breathe through your nose, and feel it move first. Be grateful you’re alive, that you’re breathing because it won’t last forever.
•

I’m still processing what just happened! “The 5 Lies Told About Breathing” was a total success.
•
The last few months have been a blur of preparation and learning hard and valuable lessons about myself. I’m so honored to have shared this experience with an incredible group of speakers, coaches, organizers, and a community that loves and supports ideas worth spreading.
•
Although the video for the talk won’t be ready for a few weeks, I wanted to at least say thank you to everybody who has helped me to get to this point. Giving a TEDx talk has always been in my plan since day one back in 2019, back when Academy West first started.
•
It’s a real to know that one face has ended and another is beginning. I don’t know where this road is leading, but I’m excited to be on it.

🎉🚨- PR ALERT -🚨🎉

Way to go .linenko !!!!

It’s been super fun to watch you build your skills and own your breathing tools. Getting to mile 8 and feeling like you’ve got more gas in the tank than ever, blowing away your expectations, and running eight minute miles to finish under two hours for the first time - THATS what functional breathing transformation looks like.

We are also so proud of you and proud to be a part of your team!
