Three-Part Breath with Pelvic De-armouring
For The Feminine : Practices
•
13m
The depth to which you breathe is the depth to which you live, love, and connect. When breath is shallow, life feels constrained. But when breath moves deeply through the body—front, back, and side—it awakens sensation, presence, and possibility.
The three-part breath is a foundational practice for expanding your capacity to feel, to soften, and to relate from a grounded, energized center. It moves breath from belly to ribs to chest, inviting a full-bodied expansion that activates awareness across your entire system.
In this 14-minute guided practice and teaching from The 1000-Hour Teacher Training (February, 2025), John combines the power of the three-part breath with the subtle yet profound practice of pelvic de-armouring—offering a pathway to release tension, restore safety in the body, and reconnect with your inner current of life and love.
Practice this to stretch the muscles of your breath, to soften the holding in your pelvis, and to tap into a deeper well of energy and openness—so you can move through the world from your most alive and unguarded self.
If you have a question about this practice or any of the content in The Embodied Relationship Experience, we highly encourage you to bring it to John during one of our monthly Office Hours calls that are included with your membership.
