INTRO TO HOLOTROPIC BREATHWORK | YJ Tried It

Yoga Journal video contributor Sky Cowans tries a shortened version of HOLOTROPIC BREATHWORK for the first time in our first episode of YJ Tried It, a new YJ series where Sky tries all sorts of alternative modalities and emerging trends in the yoga and health world!

Holotropic Breathwork is a type of pranayama breathing technique developed in the 1970s by Dr. Stanislov Grof, a pioneer in the field of psychedelic research for psychotherapeutic use. Dr. Stan Grof developed holotropic breathwork in order to achieve similar psychotherapeutic benefits that he was witnessing with his patients through using plant medicines, but without the use of psychedelics. Dr. Stan Grof began witnessing powerful results through using the holotropic breathing technique with patients.

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 breathowork. 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.
