Welcome

Welcome. I’m Kelly, and I’m so glad you’re here.

This mini course is about restoring options in your body. Breathing is not just about getting air in. It is one of the main ways your body creates space, manages pressure, and decides whether it needs to brace.

If your system has been living in the same strategy for a long time, breathing can become effortful. You might default to chest breathing, gripping through the pelvic floor, rib flare, compressing the ribcage down, or using the neck and shoulders to help. Those patterns are not “bad.” They are often protective.

In this course, we are going to build a more organized option: 360° breathing.

360° breathing means the ribcage can expand in multiple directions, not just forward. The goal is not a huge breath. The goal is a quiet breath that creates space, improves pressure management, and supports better movement.

You will also hear me talk about the relationship between the diaphragm and the pelvic floor. They work together. When that relationship is coordinated, your trunk can handle pressure without bracing, and breathing supports your posture and mechanics instead of fighting them.

Benefits you can expect

As your 360° breathing improves, many people notice:

• Better oxygenation and less “air hunger”

• Less neck, jaw, and shoulder tension

• Better pressure management for posture and movement

• More rib mobility and trunk rotation options

• Less chronic bracing, better tissue glide and fascia adaptability

• Less compression through the trunk, which can support lymph and fluid movement

• A calmer nervous system response because the breath becomes lower effort

Quick course reminders

Go slowly. Small breaths done consistently will change more than big breaths done forcefully. And if you ever feel dizzy or anxious, pause, rest, and make the next inhale smaller and quieter.
