Walking on Air: A unique breathwork experience

Experience fluid, effortless movement by syncing your breath with your steps. This unique progression uses walking sticks to unlock the power of your lungs—helping you move with greater ease and efficiency.

Most people don't realise that almost 50% of our body weight rests above our lungs. The head, arms and upper chest stack on these two cushions of air and with every step they compress and decompress them as they shift, sway and swing! If we learn to use this air effectively, it becomes a hidden source of power.

The secret? Synchronizing breath with movement—something most of us don’t even realize we’re doing wrong. When breathing, stepping, shifting, and swinging are timed optimally, movement becomes more efficient and effortless—whether for long hikes, running, or maintaining speed. And the best part? This can be trained through neuroplasticity techniques, making it available to anyone.

Our bodies were designed to move on our lungs, just like a car runs on tires. By shifting, squeezing your lungs in the right way at the right time, you too can feel like you're Walking on Air!

During this workshop, we'll progress through positions that allow conscious breathwork to integrate and synchronise with arm swing, ribcage shape, leg stance and neck tone. We start first with upright breathing mechanics, learning to sense rib rotation, what a full exhalation really feels like and why it matters. We play with bringing into conscious awareness the subconscious changes that happen to the sense of the ground when air gathers or leaves the lungs, when hips move position, and when arms swing.

This workshop progresses from using both walking sticks → using just one → walking unsupported—mirroring human development from crawling to standing to walking.

This workshop is perfect for:

✔ Hikers & Trail Runners looking to improve endurance and efficiency

✔ Dog owners who want to get the most out of walks themselves

✔ Athletes aiming for optimal running and breathing mechanics

✔ Anyone who has Rehabilitated an Injury who wants full-body reintegration

✔ People challenged with Walking Up Hills or Long Distances

✔ Anyone curious to know how the mind, body and breath work together unconsciously

✨ Feel a newfound ease in walking—whether on trails, up hills, or in daily life

✨ Move with your breath instead of fighting against it

✨ Unlock a sense of flow, rhythm, and lightness in your body

You’ll Also Learn How To:

• Master the power of the exhale pause to retrain your breathing mechanics
• Feel how your breath connects (or disconnects) you from the ground
• Use walking sticks to re-experience human developmental stages
• Unlock muscle tension that limits walking freedom
• Synchronize ground sense, hip motion, and breath for optimal movement
• Reduce long-distance stress on your body with optimal lung mechanics
• Experience new breathing patterns (a past attendee described it as “like realizing there was a whole room in my house that I’d never used!”)
• Differentiate between arm swings vs. arm reaches and how they shape your ribcage
• Learn why arm reaching while walking is key to movement efficiency
• Use your diaphragm to decompress lower back tension
• Understand the connection between arm position and core activation
• Integrate old injuries into full-body movement patterns
• Come to appreciate your walking sticks like never before!
• Have fun exploring movement with like-minded somatic adventurers
