In this episode, I'm talking with Ava Johanna, a 1/3 Splenic Projector, about using breath work access new states of being, calm anxiety and raise your consciousness.I had such a lovely conversation with Ava - she shares her incredible (and slightly heartbreaking) story, how she got where she is today, and we discussed all things breathwork, how to use your breathing to reduce anxiety and get out of “fight or flight”. Ava even takes you through some breathing demonstrations right on the episode!Settle in for this one, it’s a goodie!After working with brands like Alo Yoga, Mindbodygreen and Wanderlust, Ava built The Academy of Breath™ a 12-week breathwork and meditation certification that has now certified over 500 students across the globe. Blending science, mysticism and business, The Academy of Breath is blazing a trail in the breathwork industry making the practices more accessible than ever before while providing teachers, coaches, and leaders with the tools to be able to increase their quality of life, lower their stress, and make a global impact on the world.Big love,MxxAVA’S DETAILSInstagram: @avajohanna : https://www.instagram.com/avajohannaThe Academy of Breath : https://academyofbreath.org/Alchemized Life Podcast : https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-alchemized-life/id1400963174OTHER RESOURCESWant more on Human Design?
