Breathwork is a sacred yogic practice that honors the innate intelligence and consciousness of the breath itself. As the foundation of life, the breath is one of our most powerful tools for healing, regulation, and spiritual connection. Harmony’s work as a transpersonal counselor has been deeply shaped by conscious connected breathing—a legacy passed down to her as a second-generation breathworker.
In this episode, she is joined by fellow second-generation breathworker Aaron Overstreet, who brings over 30 years of experience in practicing and teaching breathwork. Together, they explore the profound wisdom of the breath and its role in restoring balance, expanding awareness, and preventing burnout in both life and clinical practice.
Special Bonus: In honor of Harmony’s mother’s birthday, the full episode is available for free on Patreon. In the extended teaching, Aaron shares three breath-based practices to help you reconnect with yourself and sustain your energy as a healer.
