360° Breathing Course
Most breathing advice doesn't work because it skips the most important part.
If this sounds familiar, keep reading.
You've tried deep breathing. Maybe box breathing, diaphragmatic breathing, or whatever the latest technique was.
And either nothing changed, or it made things worse — more tension, more bracing, or that frustrating feeling of air going somewhere but not actually landing anywhere useful.
The problem is not that you're doing it wrong.
The problem is that most breathing instruction tells you how to breathe without addressing why your ribcage can't access the expansion it needs in the first place.
What 360° breathing actually means
Your ribcage is designed to expand in all directions — front, sides, and back — on every inhale. When it does, your diaphragm moves freely, pressure distributes evenly through your trunk, and your neck, jaw, and shoulders don't have to pick up the slack.
Most people only expand into one or two directions. The rest of the ribcage stays braced, compressed, or stuck — which means the body keeps compensating in the same patterns no matter how many breathing exercises you do.
This course teaches you how to restore access to full ribcage expansion, manage internal pressure without gripping, and use breath as a genuine tool for support and regulation — not just stress relief.
What's inside
Video instruction with written support and downloadable PDFs The full course runs approximately one hour on first pass. After that, exercises are designed to be used in 10 to 15 minute daily segments — so it becomes a practice you actually return to, not a course you watch once.
Education on sub-optimal breathing and posture patterns Before correcting anything, you need to understand what your body is currently doing. The course walks through chest breathing, belly-only breathing, paradoxical breathing, and how your specific posture pattern influences your breathing tendencies.
Posture-specific exercise selection Different postures create different breathing compensations. The course helps you identify your pattern so you can choose the exercises that are most relevant to what your body actually needs — not a generic sequence designed for nobody in particular.
Progressive exercise progression From hook lying check-ins through posterior expansion, pelvic floor work, side body expansion, and rotational patterns — each section builds on the last so the changes you create early in the course get challenged and integrated as you go.
A practice you can return to This is not a one-time watch. The course is structured so you can revisit individual sections based on what your body needs on any given day.
Not sure which posture pattern is yours?
If you work through the posture section and still aren't sure where you fall, send a side profile photo to info@rootforcemn.com and I'll point you toward the right exercises for your specific pattern.
That's included. No extra cost.
What people are saying
"The RootForce breathing work has taught me how to release the muscles in my neck. It works every time and has eliminated my neck pain from trying to do everything from my neck. I have also discovered that the breathing sequences give me strain-free ways to empty constipated bowels. These practices have played a big role in my life." — Carol
"Kelly's knowledge of the body and human movement runs deep. However, it is her ability to communicate nuance with clarity and warmth that will help you achieve meaningful change." — Christy J
"I am so grateful for Kelly's wisdom and expertise. The lessons and guidance she has created offer a wealth of insights into breathing, mobility, pain relief, and so much more." — Mary T
This course is right for you if:
Deep breathing has felt confusing, forced, or unhelpful
You tend to breathe into your chest, neck, or upper shoulders
Your ribs feel compressed, braced, or hard to expand
Stress and tension show up in your jaw, neck, or upper chest
You want to understand your own breathing pattern — not just follow generic cues
You've tried other breathing approaches and they didn't stick
Props
A few simple props are used throughout the course. The full list is a pilates ball, yoga block, Swiss ball, lacrosse ball and a long foam roller. For most exercises, a rolled towel works as a substitute for the pilates ball or yoga block — so you can start today with what you already have. You can find the props here.
Before you purchase
Read through the "right for you" section above carefully. If it resonates, you're in the right place. The course was built with real intention behind every piece of it, and the goal is for you to finish it feeling like you understand your own body better — not just like you watched a breathing video.

Preview the Course
The 360° Breathing Mini Course shows you how to release the fascial restrictions limiting your ribcage expansion—so breathing becomes easeful, not forced. You'll learn to identify your specific compensation patterns, use pressure-based exercises to create space in tight areas, and integrate these changes so 360° breathing becomes your body's natural pattern. Tools used but not all needed: 55-inch Swiss ball, small Pilates ball (yoga blocks, or a rolled up towel), and a long foam roller.
What comes next
Many people find that once their ribcage can expand more freely and their breathing becomes more functional, the rest of the body starts responding differently too — including how fluid moves through the tissues.
If you want to take that further with a complete daily rhythm for breath, movement, nourishment, and lymphatic support, the natural next step is the 28-Day Lymphatic Reset.
