- Education
We start off 2022 with Ava Johanna, International Breathwork and Meditation Coach + Founder of The Academy of Breath, as she shares her incredible journey from being homeless at 16 to discovering her mission to bring breathwork and meditation to everyone. We love her outlook on how the dark times in our lives can actually position us to discover what we are meant to fulfill in this life. Her passion for helping people expand into the human beings they were meant to become lights us up. She’s a literal breath of fresh air!
Topics We Discuss:
Breathwork Nervous System Sacred Activation
In the Episode, We Learn:
The limiting beliefs she picked up from her rocky childhood. About her story from going from an upper middle class family to being homeless at the age of 16 and having to drop out of school to support herself. About her experience with numbing herself. What led her to discover breathwork and meditation. How she went from feeling hopeless to empowered. About her experience with stress and weekly migraines that lasted for 72 hours. About the turning point in her life where she realized there was no amount of money that was going to make her happy and that she wasn’t happy… How we can start to feel safe in our bodies. How our bodies are affected by stress and fear. How the breath works with the nervous system and with the part of the brain that perceives danger and stress. How to activate your parasympathetic nervous system. How we can use breathwork to arouse our nervous system when we need energy. How she built her business The Academy of Breath where she certifies teachers in breathwork and meditation. About her mission to bring breathwork and meditation into every single household on this planet.
