The Breathwork-Movement The Breathwork-Movement has expanded rapidly around the globe and made tremendous gains in recent decades. Today, Conscious Breathing (Rebirthing) is widely recognized and practiced in many countries, cultures, and schools. It is known as a powerful healing modality that has the potential to transform your life and the whole of humanity, from the inside out. Breath has been used in all of humanity's ancient cultures, through rituals, healing practices, meditations, and traditions throughout time.
Scroll down this page for an international list of Breathwork Schools, Organizations, and Foundations.The modern term 'Breathwork' refers to the connected breathing rhythm discovered and perfected by Leonard Orr in 1974, which is unique from traditional styles of breathing exercises, such as pranayama, QiGong, and Tai Chi breathing practices. This 'modern' form of Breathwork is most commonly referred to as Rebirthing Breathwork, (Why is it also called Rebirthing?) It is also known as Conscious Energy Breathing. While the Breathwork Movement is still young (going on 35 years,) Leonard Orr points out that babies, animals, and most young children breathe this way. It is our natural breathing rhythm. In fact, if you are reaching your deepest states of sleep, you are breathing this way already every night! Please visit the Online Tutorial for more information. Other variations of Breathwork have been created since then, such as Holotropic Breathwork and Vivation. Breathwork, as a profession, is not currently regulated or monitored by state or national licensing boards in the U.S. However, there are many schools, organizations, and foundations that have formed internationally to create wonderful structures for education and training within the Breathwork movement.
