Breathe into Spring
A Four-Week Virtual Breath Coaching Series
to study, explore, and befriend our breathing patterns to bloom our capacity for stress in the season ahead.
Inhale. Pause. Exhale. Pause again.
Inhale. Pause. Exhale. Pause again.
Consciously breathing
(like what is cued above, give it a try)
repeated, and fine-tuned for your body, over time is what can grow your capacity to feel:
empowered > overwhelmed
confident > freeze/flight
flow and possibility > stuckness
and at home in your body
There are a lot of things outside of our control right now. It’s time to remember how to breathe so we can grow and live as we ride the ups-and-downs of the day to day.
The Breathe into Spring series will help you move into a more empowered state this spring by learning about and breathing with three distinct areas in your body — the abdomen, the ribs, and the neck.
Each session includes interactive learning, practical exercises, and space for connection to shape your conscious breathing habit.
SPRING EQUINOX IS MARCH 20TH.
We begin March 19th.
It is an ideal time of year to get to know your breathing patterns so you can move into the rest of spring and summer with a sharpened tool to regulate your nervous system.
Here’s the plan.

It isn’t about figuring [insert your conundrum at hand] out from the thinking mind.
It’s about learning your breath’s cues to understand what is going on internally.
Until you understand your breath and nervous system, you will continue to approach new situations with old patterning. I know this from experience.
I graduated with a top Sustainability MBA. I landed the dream job. I bought the dream house. I hosted the great wedding.
Then, in 2021, Long Covid sent my nervous system into full dysregulation. I went on beta blockers. I had a mini-stroke. I couldn’t peek at the computer screen for more than 30 minutes.
By December 2022, I had stepped away from the dream job. I sold the white-picket house. I got divorced.
All radical acts of self-compassion and expression (even though it didn’t seem like it at the time) as I grew my personal breathing practice.
And, I am now wholly Sarah - or Joyce as my friends and family call me. Imperfect, ever-evolving, and beautifully messy. Not because I am free from illness, free from grief, free from shame. But, because I listen to my breath’s cues and don’t take everything so seriously.
After years of facilitating and studying the breath and movement, I am here to show you and support you to use the breath to remember how to BE in relaxed resilience so you can feel empowered when the rollercoaster comes your way.

Breathing techniques enhance emotional control, psychological well-being, and enhanced attention.
Slow breathing significantly improves self-reported stress, anxiety, and depression whether or not the breathwork session is delivered virtually or in-person.
