Intro to Holotropic Breathwork | Yoga Journal Tried It

In this video, Sky trains with Michael Stone, a certified facilitator of holotropic breathwork who studied directly under Stan Grof. Michael Stone describes what holotropic breathwork is, how it works, and then guides Sky through a shortened version of this technique. True holotropic breathwork is always taught in a 12-hour workshop format with three-hour breathing sessions. Here, Sky tries a one-hour version of holotropic breathwork called neurodynamic breathwork. Michael Stone developed this shortened version as a way to make holotropic breathwork more accessible, so that participants could also practice this technique on their own.
