The Body Remembers — Awareness, Breath, and Relationship

In this immersive, multi-hour class, you will learn how to become aware of the physical and physiological sensations that drive your behavior — and how breath is the primary bridge between awareness and change.

Most reactions do not begin with thoughts. They begin in the body — in shifts in breath, tightening, heat, impulse, contraction, expansion. Before there is a story, there is physiology. Before there is meaning, there is sensation.

Breath is the access point.

Your breath reflects your internal state. It also has the power to regulate it. When you learn to consciously work with your breathing, you interrupt automatic reactions and build real internal steadiness.

In this class, you will learn:

•⁠ ⁠How to identify the bodily sensations that precede emotional reactions
•⁠ ⁠How breath shapes your nervous system and behavioral patterns
•⁠ ⁠How to use conscious breathing to regulate yourself in real time
•⁠ ⁠How to slow down and build a relationship with what you feel instead of reacting to it
•⁠ ⁠How to relate to your memories — even when they are not fully accurate
•⁠ ⁠Why emotionally powerful memories are not always historically precise — and why that distinction matters
•⁠ ⁠How to meet your inner child without needing to prove or disprove the past
•⁠ ⁠How to stay present when old material surfaces

We will explore a central question:
Does a memory need to be objectively true in order to shape us?

In much of today’s therapeutic culture, there is heavy emphasis on toxicity, amplifying pain, and reinforcing negative narratives. For some, this has brought relief. For others, it has led to division and estrangement.

This class takes a different approach.

We are not here to pathologize your past.
We are not here to assign blame.
We are not here to solidify stories that keep you reactive.

We are here to build internal strength.

Through awareness of the body.
Through conscious breath.
Through mature relationship with memory.

Instead of arguing with the past, we learn to relate to it.
Instead of amplifying pain, we cultivate discernment.
Instead of reinforcing separation, we build responsibility and presence.

Growth does not come from endlessly re-living wounds. It comes from the ability to stay with yourself — in your body, in your breath, in this moment.

This class is experiential. You will not just learn concepts — you will practice noticing, breathing, relating, and responding in real time.

If you are ready to understand the physiological forces shaping your choices…
If you are ready to build steadiness from the inside out…
If you are ready to grow without blaming, collapsing, or disconnecting…

This class is for you.
