To our beautiful community,

We have been blessed beyond measure to have the honor of walking this sacred path alongside you.

Together, we have witnessed profound transformations, shared deep breakthroughs, and witnessed many of you become certified Vaasi Yogam practitioners, in our own small way, changing the world.

You are, and will always be, the beating heart of this journey.

As this chapter comes to a close, we are so deeply grateful to announce that we are passing the torch to Dr. Sue Morter, who will carry the tradition and essence of The Anatomy of Awakening forward.

As a true pioneer in bioenergetics and quantum healing, her incredible body of work is deeply aligned with the heart of what we’ve built, and we know that this legacy is in the absolute highest hands.

To our former students and practitioners, please rest assured that this transition changes nothing for you. Your certifications remain fully valid, respected, and untouched.

The incredible work you put in and the credentials you earned are yours forever. We could not be prouder of the Vyana Vayu Pranayama legacy you carry forward into the world.

While this specific season is evolving, the path remains wide open for those ready to step onto it.

If you or someone you know is looking to begin their studies, our original curriculum lives on and is fully accessible.

You can find everything you need to start your healing journey at onlinebreathworkcertification.com.

Please reach out here prior to gaining access so that we can prepare you for your turnkey journey!

Thank you for every breath, every tear, and every moment of profound connection.

We are endlessly grateful for you.

With all our love and deepest gratitude,

Michael Brian Baker & The Breath Center Family

Many traditions honor the circle as a symbol of equality and shared power. During this sacred retreat, there is no single “teacher.”

We’ll walk the land together, embodying Don Miguel Ruiz’s Four Agreements: speak with integrity, release the weight of taking things personally, replace assumptions with clarity, and honor doing your best. Group circles, reflection, and ceremonies at Teotihuacan will help us live these practices in community.

If you’re seeking shared wisdom, connection, and a supportive circle, join us. Space is limited. To register, email Thomas Hedlund at [email protected].

Every sacred journey is held by those who walk beside us. For this retreat, guidance and care come from Thomas Hedlund, LMFT—a veteran therapist from Santa Rosa with decades of experience in counseling, addiction recovery, trauma healing, and family systems therapy.

Thomas is also a celebrated educator, speaker, and intervention specialist who has collaborated with leaders like John Bradshaw to bring deep healing to countless individuals and families. His compassionate presence and seasoned wisdom create a safe and supportive environment where true transformation can unfold.

From December 15–19, we’ll gather at Teotihuacan to embody the Four Agreements and explore the timeless wisdom of the Toltec tradition.

Register now for $600. Space is limited. Email Thomas directly at [email protected].

The Toltec tradition offers four simple agreements as a foundation for personal freedom. In our retreat, we’ll not only learn them—we’ll live them. We’ll explore why words matter and practice being impeccable with them. We’ll discover that nothing others do is because of us and learn not to take things personally. We’ll notice how often we make assumptions and practice asking for clarity. And we’ll remember that doing our best—whatever that looks like in each moment—is enough.

As we explore this sacred land together, group discussions, quiet journaling and ceremonies at the pyramids will give us space to embody these teachings.

Early registration pricing ends tomorrow. Secure your spot today by emailing Thomas Hedlund, John Bradshaw’s protégé, at [email protected].

Join me as we explore this sacred retreat together and enjoy group transportation to and from Mexico City, comfortable double‑occupancy lodging at the Dreaming House and delicious home‑cooked meals. Meals are shared family‑style, creating an atmosphere of community and care.

Early‑bird pricing of $450 is available until August 15; rates increase thereafter. Secure your place now and look forward to nourishment in body and spirit. To register, email Thomas Hedlund, John Bradshaw’s protégé, at [email protected].

The Avenue of the Dead stretches out toward the pyramids, lined with ancient stones that have witnessed thousands of years of history. Anyone who has stood in this sacred valley knows the feeling of being humbled and uplifted at once.

Join me as we explore this sacred land together December 15–19, 2025. From the moment we arrive, we’ll begin embodying Don Miguel Ruiz’s Four Agreements—guidelines drawn from ancient Toltec wisdom that help us identify and transform self‑limiting beliefs. We’ll be impeccable with our words, practice not taking things personally, avoid assumptions and always do our best. Sessions at the pyramids, moments of reflection and shared dialogues invite us to release outdated beliefs and open to expanded awareness.

Early‑bird registration is $450 until August 15, 2025. Space is limited and prices will rise afterward. To reserve your place or receive more details, email Thomas Hedlund—John Bradshaw’s protégé and a seasoned facilitator—at [email protected].
