Hey Reader,
Last week I led my 100th virtual, recorded breath work class🎉.
Three Thursdays a month, for over two years at 8:30 AM CT, a small group of us has shown up — sometimes wired, sometimes barely awake, sometimes not sure we had 30 minutes to spare, cameras on or off — to breathe together before the day got its hands on us.
100 weeks of people showing up to unclench… that’s dedication in my opinion. Not only is it dedication, it’s desire for change.
For something to be different.
That’s what intentional commitment to conscious breathing does.
It changes stuck patterns.
It gets you out of your 100 mph 100% of the time brain and back into your body.
I wanted to know what kept people coming back and how they feel in the morning before getting to class. Here’s what one class participant who lives in a different time zone said:
“I love feeling better when we’re done. I often feel kind of agitated about getting ready, wondering if I’ll get on in time — and I’m honestly not even really awake yet.”
And yet another participant who has had more of the morning rushing shared this:
“It feels very centering, very anchoring. Before class, I usually feel a little agitated too, unfocused and just the general ‘what am I going to get done today?’ feeling.”
If mornings feel like that for you too (rushed, foggy, not quite in your body yet), this might be worth 30 minutes of your Thursday.
I want to give you a taste of it as a thank you for being here on this list and showing up week after week to read what’s in store to help you reset your rhythm AND so you have a real, honest listen to what The Weekly Breath Reset actually is… not just a description, but the thing itself.

TWBR #100_Exploring Limits with Body and Breath_06 AUG 2026.mp3
If it lands the way I hope it does, you’re welcome to join us live. TWBR meets every Thursday, 8:30am CT, 30 minutes… no experience needed, camera optional, just a willingness to come down from the morning rush before it takes your day away.
So you’ll feel like this student does after class:
“Afterwards I’m much easier flowing… more confidence, more within myself instead of feeling pulled in all directions. Centered.”
Sign up for one class or monthly classes here.
Cheers to the next 100 classes!
