A 14-day structured breathwork challenge to map your current breathing patterns, expand your capacity, and permanently change how your body responds to stress.
This training changed the way I see the body. The combination of breath, fascia, and nervous system work just clicked in a way nothing else has. I use this in my sessions now and the depth my clients are reaching is completely different.
You're not lacking discipline.
You're missing a system.
This 14-day challenge gives you a clear structure, guided daily practice, and measurable results, so you can actually feel the difference, not just read about it.
You've probably already
had the moment.
A class. A workshop. A guided session that cracked something open. For a few days, you breathed differently. Felt different. Your shoulders dropped. Your sleep improved. Something shifted.
And then life came back. And so did the patterns.
Not because breathwork doesn't work. Because a single experience, no matter how powerful, is not a practice. The Breath Audit is the structure that closes the gap between the moment and the habit.
Fitness was never your problem. Regulation is. And that requires a completely different solution. Most people who come to us are already doing the right things. The issue is that the thing controlling their stress response has never been directly addressed.
That thing is the breath.
Shallow chest breathing keeps your body in a low-level stress state even when nothing is wrong. Your sympathetic nervous system never fully winds down. Not even at night.
Breath-holding under pressure is happening dozens of times a day. Difficult emails. Hard conversations. Heavy traffic. Every hold spikes cortisol. Most people have no idea they're doing it.
Mouth breathing at night fragments sleep, reduces oxygen delivery, and is one of the most common reasons people wake up exhausted after eight hours.
You know your patterns. Not a vague sense of "I'm stressed" but specific, observable mechanics you can identify in real time, and change on demand.
You have a tool that works under pressure. Not a meditation practice that disappears the moment your day gets hard. Something that works precisely when you need it most.
Your baseline shifts. Lower resting heart rate. Faster recovery after stress. Calmer in the moments that used to flood you. Better sleep. More capacity across the board.
After joining, complete your pre-challenge breath assessment. This gives you a Breath Score out of 100. Your baseline to measure everything against.
Each morning and evening, open your dashboard and complete the session. The sessions build on each other. Consistency is the practice and the product.
On Day 14, retake the Breath Audit. Compare your before and after scores and see exactly how your nervous system has changed over 14 days.
14 days of structured breathwork, with a live kickoff workshop, daily AM and PM sessions, and a measurable breath audit to track your exact progress.
Our signature 1-hour live Zoom workshop. The highest-rated thing we do. Both coaches, live. You'll leave understanding your breath in a way you never have. This is where the 14 days begins.
Short activating breathwork to start your day grounded, clear, and ready. 8–15 minutes. Built around how breath affects cortisol and HRV in the first hours of the day.
Restorative breath practices to down-regulate your nervous system, release physical tension, and prepare your body for deep sleep. Pairs with each morning session.
Measure your CO₂ tolerance, breath capacity, and stress baseline at the start, then again on Day 14. Your Breath Score shows the exact shift.
A live guided sleep session to close the challenge, with both coaches. Wind down together, integrate what you've built over 14 days, and drift off with intention.
Every session, the workshops, and your Breath Score report, in your account permanently. Run the audit again any time your baseline needs resetting.
Handle pressure without shutting down or burning out. Your nervous system learns to process stress instead of storing it.
Fall asleep faster, wake up less, recover deeper. Nasal breathing at night is one of the highest-leverage changes you can make.
Better oxygen efficiency, faster recovery, more endurance. You gas out less because your breathing mechanics are finally working with your body.
Think sharper, stay calmer, make better decisions under pressure. Regulated breathing changes your neurochemistry. Not metaphorically. Literally.
Working with Tarik has truly been a life changing experience. The breathwork skills I have learnt have become essential to both my mental and physical health. Not an add-on. A foundation.
Tarik's teaching style made the content approachable and relevant: a great balance between evidence-informed information and highly practical strategies I could use right away.
The sessions facilitated a deep shift in my awareness, unlocking new sensations and emotional releases I had never encountered before. A truly holistic experience.
That was a wicked workshop! I loved all the research and info you shared along with actually getting to practice. I left with a whole new appreciation and curiosity for breathwork.
Our Breathwork Foundations Workshop has been our signature offering for years. It's one of the highest-rated things we do. People come in tight, shallow, running on cortisol, and something genuinely opens in that room. By the end, they're breathing differently. Feeling differently. The energy is real.
And then they go home.
A week later, the stress is back. The shallow breathing is back. The workshop happened. The practice didn't. Not because people didn't want it. Because an experience, no matter how powerful, doesn't build a habit on its own. Structure does.
Watching that gap, between the breakthrough and the daily practice, is exactly what built The Breath Audit. The workshop is still the foundation. The challenge is what makes it permanent.

Tarik went from 270 lbs, nerve blockers and alcohol to full-time performance coaching. Then a gruelling fitness certification broke something open, and the obsession with breath began.

Susan bridges the science of respiratory physiology and the depth of somatic breathwork. Precise, evidence-informed, and deeply human. Her approach is unlike anything else in this space.
The Breath Audit works when people do it. If you show up for 14 days, something will shift. If you don't, nothing will. Here's how to know if you're the right person.
Join, attend the opening workshop, and start the sessions. If within the first 7 days you don't feel like this is exactly what you needed, we'll refund you in full. No questions. No hoops.
We can say that confidently because this is physiology, not philosophy. The body responds to what you practice. The only variable we can't control is whether you show up. That part is yours.
Less than a single therapy session.
More useful than most of them.
Starts July 19, 2026 · 7:00 PM ET · Kickoff Workshop + Sleep Session Aug 2
You've been managing. You've been pushing through. You've probably tried things that helped a little and faded fast. The Breath Audit is different because it's not treating the symptoms. It's addressing the system underneath them.
The sessions are built. The structure is ready. All that's left is you.
