Module 4

Assessing Your Breathing

In this module, you’ll take a closer look at how you’re breathing right now — not how you think you breathe, and not how you breathe when you’re paying attention to it.

Through six guided self-assessments, you’ll observe your breathing mechanics, breathing rate, breath control, and carbon dioxide tolerance. Each one takes just a few minutes and requires nothing more than your attention and a quiet place to sit.

These aren’t tests to pass. There are no right or wrong answers — only information. Each observation simply helps establish where you’re starting from, so your practice has a clear and honest foundation.

By the end of this module, you’ll have a concrete picture of your own breathing patterns and a sense of where gentle, focused practice will make the most difference as we move into the breathwork techniques in the next module.
