Carrick Institute – Neuroscience of Breathwork

Carrick Institute – Neuroscience of Breathwork

Explore the neuroscience of breathwork and its clinical applications in autonomic regulation, respiratory function, stress management, and human performance.

Led by Dr. Jonathan Chung, this 8-hour course provides a foundation in the neurological and physiological mechanisms of breathing techniques, alongside clinical approaches to assessing dysfunctional breathing patterns and selecting targeted interventions.

The training covers slow breathing, cyclic hyperventilation, nasal breathing, breath-hold techniques, inspiratory resistance training, and heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback.

What You’ll Learn

• Identify and assess dysfunctional breathing patterns using clinical evaluation protocols.
• Understand the neurophysiology of slow breathing, hyperventilation, and breath-hold techniques.
• Implement heart rate variability biofeedback in clinical practice.
• Design targeted breathing protocols for specific clinical presentations.
• Apply inspiratory resistance training and nasal breathing optimization strategies.
