Breathwork Fundamentals
Breathwork Fundamentals is our foundational breathwork course. At SOMM, we bring breathwork back into a relationship with awareness, nervous system regulation, and meditation. We are not interested in breathwork purely for intensity or peak experience. Instead, we focus on understanding what is happening in your system, choosing practices intentionally, and building capacity over time. That being said, we do encourage and offer longer breathwork journeys and immersions as a way to explore deeper states, build awareness, and safely access and integrate what may be held in the system.

Most importantly, if you learn via SOMM, you're stepping into an ecosystem of support, follow-up master classes and a real-life community (digital + in-person). Rather than presenting breathwork as a technique to “fix” yourself, this course frames it as a relationship with attention, and with life. You will finish the course with a clear understanding of what meditation is and how to weave it into your life consistently.
We explore breathwork from all facets:
Ancient contemplative roots
Modern neuroscience
Psychological frameworks
Real-life integration
This course is taught in two parts:
Part One: History, Roots & Modern Context & Breathing Better
Part Two: Understanding Your System & Using The Power of Your Breath
