I’ve been battling pneumonia for 4 days now. Onset was my narcissistic abusive family finally kicking me out for being Autistic- the body holds the score and I immediately developed pneumonia that day from their actions. For the last 4 days I’ve hardly been able to sleep, eat, or breath without intense pain and gagging each breath. Only thing getting me through is focusing on my breath. 3 in 4 out very gently is getting me through. Sometimes I can extend to 4 in 6 out which is my personal favorite!! Lots of air hunger which I haven’t experienced before in my life, and it’s really scary. I see and have experienced how Breathwork can help me get through the moment and when it feels like I’m dying or suffocating I just go back to counting my breath and calming my mind and body down. Halfway through functional breathing Cert. I also viscerally understand now… people with air hunger or other medical concerns can greatly benefit from breathwork! And I’m adapting it to fit me rn with the 3 in 4 out. When I’m healthy I can do long breath holds and all sort of crazy stuff… but rn I need to be so gentle and work with my body to make it through this pneumonia. Wish me healing! And also luck cuz my family is kicking me to the curb and I’m legit looking at being homeless soon. Being disabled is real rough, but I never give up! Plus I’m going to write a book soon on cPTSD & narc abuse recovery. I didn’t go through hell & have my parents try to kill me for nothing.

Hello beautiful people! I am interested in the Functional Breathwork Certification but am looking for anyone who has completed or currently working through it for any general feedback. I’d like to know what to expect, and as a yoga and meditation instructor, if this certification would compliment my teaching?

I believe I have a deviated septum (had it repaired once and I feel like it moved back), so sometimes I just can't breathe through my nose. (I do when I can, and I have taped at night for years.) When I'm too stuffed up, is it best to do the same breathwork but breathing through the mouth, or to skip it altogether? I guess I'm asking, do you still get some benefit if you have to breathe through your mouth or is it better not to? Or does it depend?

Now the real practice begins 🌿 I came into this course with a strong interest in trauma aware work, nervous system regulation, conversations, relationships and psychological wellbeing. This course gave me exactly the kind of foundation I had been hoping for. What impressed me most was that the training never reduced breathwork to simply learning a collection of techniques. And I have to say this as well. The amount of material in this course genuinely surprised me. My finances are limited, and I had wanted to begin this kind of training for quite some time. This has been exceptional value for money, and I am genuinely grateful for how much thought, knowledge and practical material has been included. Finishing the course does not mean I feel finished learning. Quite the opposite. I expect the next part to take months, and in many ways years. I will return to the modules repeatedly. I will practise the breathing techniques again and again. My goal now is to turn knowledge into routine. A sincere thank you to the ReWild team for creating something that feels both accessible and substantial. I am genuinely impressed, and very glad that this was the place where I finally began bringing breathwork more consciously into my life 🙏
