There is an art to breathing. We breathe about 23,000 times a day. Breathing is as fundamental to life as the beating of the heart. Having studied both Alexander Technique and Carl Stough’s Breathing Coordination, I developed my own method: Jessica Wolf’s Art of Breathing.

Our breath directly relates to how we move, feel and think. When we develop a deeper understanding of our breath, we are better equipped to manage our thoughts and behavior, and are more aware of our bodies in physical space.

I have been a student of this work for 45 years. I have helped performers, athletes, therapists, people in pain and those simply looking to reclaim their bodies free up their breath.

There is a perpetual motion of the breath that has a quiet presence inside of us. As we allow our breath out,  and trust its return (instead of pushing and trying control it), we can experience the natural and spontaneous response to our every thought and feeling.

Through my years of practice, I have seen how the changes to our world, have changed the challenges to our nervous systems.  More and more people are struggling with their breath. Pollution, the long term effects of COVID, anxiety and depression all impact our ability to breathe freely. There is a direct link between the way we breathe and our moods. Using principals and skills from the Art of Breathing, we can free our breath. We can also learn how to help ourselves by using a Pause. Choosing the Pause enables us to respond rather than react. It’s a choice we make. This knowledge empowers students to self-regulate.
