SUMMARY:The Art of Renewal
DESCRIPTION:April 18 • August 1 • October 24\, 2026\n10am–3pm PST / 1pm–6pm EST\nLive on Zoom\nYou may attend one session or the full series.\nAll three sessions: by April 1st $300\, after $375\nSingle session: $125 \n  \nForm is designed to dissolve and reconstitute in a perpetual act of renewal. — Emilie Conrad \nRenewal is something the body already knows how to do. Every cell regenerates.\nFluids circulate. Fascia rehydrates. The nervous system recalibrates.\nWhen we slow down and listen through the body\, we begin to rediscover the rhythms that restore vitality\, resilience\, and creative flow. \nContinuum\, offers a powerful yet gentle way to access these rhythms through breath\, sound\, and fluid movement. By dissolving patterns of stress and rigid form\, the body’s natural adaptability and intelligence reawaken. \nThis three-part series explores renewal as a living process—moving from the body’s fluid foundation\, to the heart’s capacity for connection\, to the freedom of authentic expression. Each session can be taken individually\, though together they create a rich arc of exploration. \nSession I – Emergence of Renewal\nApril 18\nIf the universe is alive with radiant energy\, then renewal is already occurring.\nEach inhale participates in that radiance. Each exhale returns to it.\nThe body is not separate from this movement—it is an expression of it.\nRenewal may be dynamic and rhythmic\, or so subtle it is almost imperceptible. Through gentle movement\, breath\, and sound\, we begin to soften the armoring of stress and awaken the body’s innate fluidity. As the tissues rehydrate and the nervous system settles\, a deeper ease and adaptability begin to emerge. \nSession II – Renewal of the Heart\nAugust 1\nWhen the body softens and fluid movement returns\, the heart naturally follows.\nThe heart is not only a physical organ—it is a rhythmic center\, a deep part of your nervous system that influences breath\, circulation\, and emotional tone. When the chest\, diaphragm\, and connective tissues regain mobility\, the heart’s natural coherence can reappear. Renewal of the heart is about restoring the conditions that allow warmth\, openness\, and compassion to arise organically.\nThrough Continuum explorations\, we cultivate deeper emotional resilience\, self resonance and reconnect with the heart’s subtle\, yet deep intelligence. \nSession III – Renewal of Expression\nOctober 24\nWhen the body becomes fluid and the heart opens\, expression naturally emerges. Expression is the outward movement of life energy—through our voice\, movement\, creativity\, and relationship. Yet we may unconsciously restrict expression through tension in the breath\, throat\, and spine.\nThis session invites expression to arise organically from the body’s fluid intelligence. As the tissues of the chest\, throat\, diaphragm\, and pelvis regain suppleness\, voice becomes fuller\, movement more spontaneous\, and creativity less effortful. Expression is something that reveals itself when the body remembers its innate fluidity. \nWhat You’ll Explore\n• Embodied awareness practices that cultivate presence and inner safety\n• The anatomy of renewal—how fluids\, fascia\, and breath restore balance\n• Continuum sound and movement sequences for releasing tension and reclaim flow and fluidity\n• Ways to “listen through” the body to the wisdom that guides healing and resilience\n• Living anatomy explorations supported by imagery to deepen the felt experience of structure and function \nWhy This Matters Now\nIn chaotic times\, the nervous system seeks refuge. When we slow down and attune to the body’s rhythms\, we rediscover an inner steadiness that nourishes both personal and collective healing. Renewal is not only personal—it is relational\, ecological\, and creative. The more deeply we inhabit our bodies\, the more fully we can participate in life. \nCome as you are. Leave more spacious\, more connected\, and more at home in yourself. \nFacilitators:\nBobbie Ellis – Continuum\, Insight Meditation and Somatic Yoga Guide\, Author of 101 ways to meaning to Everyday Life\nRobert Litman – Continuum & Buteyko Educator\, Author of The Breathable Body – Transforming Your World and Your Life One Breath at a Time

SUMMARY:Anxiety Hacks -  Breath\, Awareness & the Art of Settling Your Nervous System
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, January 29\, 11 am – 1 pm PT\nor\nSaturday\, January 31\, 11 am – 1 pm PT \nWith Robert Litman – Buteyko Educator since 2003 and author of The Breathable Body – Transforming Your World and Your Life One Breath at a Time \n  \nWhen anxiety rises\, your breath is already speaking.\nThe style of your breathing—shallow\, tight\, fast\, or “not enough”—isn’t a mistake. It’s your nervous system responding to the context you’re in: your history\, your environment\, your internal weather\, the swirl of thoughts and emotions moving through you.\nMost people try to fix their breath when they feel anxious.\nIn this class\, you’ll learn how to listen to it instead.\nYour breath is a master teacher.\nIt reveals what’s happening inside long before your mind does.\nAnd with the right attention\, it becomes one of your most reliable tools for easing anxiety. \nWhat You’ll Learn\nHack #1 — No Two Breaths Are Alike\nUnderstanding this truth helps interrupt anxious patterns. Each new breath is a new possibility. Moment by moment\, you can shift the state of the body simply by noticing how the breath is moving. \nHack #2 — The Power of the Pause\nThe quiet space at the end of the exhale is a portal to settling. This small moment—often missed—invites the nervous system to slow down\, regulate\, and reorganize. \nHack #3 — Gravity & Levity\nAnxiety lifts us out of ourselves. You’ll learn how to feel gravity again—landing\, grounding\, coming home.
And you’ll explore how levity creates inner space\, ease\, and breathability. \nHack #4 — Breathing Through the Nose\nNasal breathing calms the system\, enhances resilience\, and restores the body’s natural rhythm.
You’ll learn why it works and how to cultivate it even in stressful moments. \nHack #5 — Make Your Body Breathable\nAnxiety often tightens the tissues\, limiting the movement of breath. Through gentle awareness and simple Continuum-inspired practices\, you’ll discover how to feel breath everywhere—through the organs\, the skin\, the internal landscape.
A more breathable body is a less anxious body. \nThis Class Is For You If…\n✔️ You want practical tools to reduce anxiety in real time\n✔️ You’ve tried “deep breathing” and it only made things worse\n✔️ You’re curious about the intelligence of breath\n✔️ You want to feel more grounded\, centered\, and spacious\n✔️ You want to understand anxiety from the inside out \nYou’ll Leave With:\n• A personalized baseline for reading your own breath patterns\n• Simple\, repeatable practices to interrupt anxiety spirals\n• A felt sense of grounding and inner safety A new relationship with breath as your ally\, not your enemy\n• A set of “hacks” you can use anytime\, anywhere \nWhy This Works:\nAnxiety isn’t the enemy.\nIt’s information.\nWhen you learn to listen through the breath—\nto the shifts in gravity\, levity\, sensation\, and internal movement—\nyour relationship to anxiety transforms.\nYou become more coherent.\nMore present.\nMore available to yourself.\nBreath becomes the doorway. \n

DESCRIPTION:Thursdays May 15\, 22\, June 5\, 12\, 19\, 26 • 11:00am -12:30pm PT\nor\nSaturdays May 17\, 24\, June 7\, 14\, 21\, 28 • 11:30am -1:00pm PT \nYou can attend either class in any given week. *No class Thursday May 29 and Saturday May 31.  \nwith Robert Litman – Buteyko Educator since 2003 \nOne Private Session included\nAll sessions will be recorded \n  \nWe breathe. No two breaths are alike. Every breath is tailored to your specific conditions\, including your health status\, body chemistry\, levels of stress or relaxation\, state of sleep\, and physical activity. Breath is always changing to accommodate the needs of your heart and your body’s organs. Even when you’re caught in a pattern of gasping for air or feeling you cannot receive enough breath\, breath does its best to accommodate—whether the need is known to you or not. Discomfort can bring your attention to something\, including breath. Most of the people who come to me for counseling about breath\, come because they sense that their breathing isn’t functioning well. \nWe can manipulate breathing to change our state\, and we might call it breathwork. Doing this can shift the pulse and tenor of our nervous system\, our heart’s rhythm and breathing cadence from hyperactive or stressful to calmer. But I prefer not to call it work. It’s not a task like working in an office or cleaning house. Putting our breath to work can be yet another stress. \nOur breathing bodies are in relationship to the rhythm and ecology of earth. We breathe\, plants breathe\, four-legged animals breathe\, birds breathe\, fish breathe\, and on and on. I think it’s more useful to feel ourselves in a relationship with our breath than to add another item onto our to-do list. We need to breathe with the rhythms and needs of our bodies and the earth in order to sustain and enjoy life. \nLike any relationship\, you and your breath may grow more intimate. You are exploring a relational potential\, learning the ins and outs of what serves this connection to nurture health and find pleasure in the connection. When you practice “breathwork\,” you turn breath from a sacred gift into an object that needs fixing. In that mode\, you might ask\, “Am I doing it right?” trying to fit a dynamic process into a box. One client told me that when she was trying to make her breath behave according to her idea of how it should\, she felt as though she were trying to corral a wild stallion. And it rebelled. \nSo\, instead of “breathwork” as “work\,” simply enter a state of receptivity. That way\, even if you practice “Box Breathing\,” Pranayama\, or another technique\, you can do it as an exploration\, not a task. In this open state\, feel how it feels to be curious about how this “imposed” pattern affects your inner ecology\, and see if you can then enter an intimate relationship with your breathing body—where the breath you’re breathing is an experience rather than a task. You are the breather\, and breath is your intimate partner. Breath and the movements of your body are in relationship with your inhalation and exhalation\, and this is one of your most primary relationships. \nI can’t tell you what your experience will be like. It will be your experience and whatever discoveries you make are your own. I can\, however\, guide you to explore and experiment with different breathing patterns as ways to contact the nature of breath and its impact on your nervous system and other biological functions. Even to call your nervous system a “system” is to act as though it can be separated from the unified bodily experience. There is\, in fact\, no separation of systems or the activity of cellular life\, or between your biology and the biology of the ecosystem you’re in. The trees and the microorganisms of the seas produce the oxygen we breath and absorb the carbon dioxide we exhale. \nIf we call carbon dioxide a byproduct or a waste gas\, though we deny the biological truth that it nourishes the plants around us. And our bodies retain a fair amount of CO2 for other bodily functions. The Bohr Effect shows that carbon dioxide helps regulate the acid/base balance of our blood and helps facilitate the movement of oxygen from our lungs to our red blood cells and into the mitochondria within our cells\, where they metabolize into the energy that powers our metabolic processes.\nAlthough I can’t tell you the content of your experience of breath\, I can tell you mine\, how breath moves through me and the benefits I receive from being in a dynamic relationship with my own breathing. Teachers of breathing can pass along their experience\, and the ways of breathing that have been of benefit to them. These instructions can guide you as you enter your own intimate relationship with your own breathing body. \nIt’s like having a psychotherapist or physical therapist to help you become aware of activities and ways of being that benefit you. But they only “work” if you try them on for yourself. Your breathing and the pacing\, sounds\, and touch of breath and your body’s movement in response to the play of breath are your real teachers. The Breathable Body invites you to practice\, to explore\, and to discover. You don’t have to “work.” \n

SUMMARY:Now Is the Time to Breathe — Not to Hold Your Breath
DESCRIPTION:Thursdays May 15\, 22\, June 5\, 12\, 19\, 26 • 11:00am -12:30pm PT\nor\nSaturdays May 17\, 24\, June 7\, 14\, 21\, 28 • 11:30am -1:00pm PT \nYou can attend either class in any given week. *No class Thursday May 29 and Saturday May 31.  \nwith Robert Litman – Buteyko Educator since 2003 \nOne Private Session included\nAll sessions will be recorded \n  \nNo two breaths are the same. Each inhale and each exhale respond to the moments leading up to it. Change is constant\, and every in-breath and out-breath remind us of this truth.\nEvery time we inhale\, a new present moment unfolds. And as we exhale\, we’re carried forward toward renewal. The pause between the inhale and the exhale is a space of transition. If we hold our breath\, the natural rhythms—timing\, movement\, health\, and action—are limited. Breathing is thus a profound process that brings us into the present moment\, momentarily freeing us from regrets and worries. In this moment\, our body’s biology takes center stage\, reminding us that now is all that truly matters for our well-being.\nMany people unconsciously hold their breath\, gripped by the fear of an uncertain future. Others sigh frequently—a sign of overwhelm and an indication that breath is being restricted (suppressed)\, creating the need for constant deep inhaling. Breathlessness\, loud breathing\, and other irregularities can also signal distress that might be linked to:\n• Asthma\n• COPD & emphysema\n• Poor digestion\n• Sleep apnea & insomnia\n• Anxiety & panic attacks\n• High blood pressure\n• Rapid breathing & heart rate\nThis Buteyko Breathing Education program\, taught by Robert Litman\, founder of The Breathable Body\, provides body-centered\, research-based\, clinically proven breathing skills and education that can help you restore healthy breathing. Developing breath awareness and breathing literacy allows you to reconnect with joy and ease—empowering you to live deeply in the present and face the future with love\, clarity\, and purpose. Breathing well is an act of self-care. Now is the moment to embrace your breathable body. \n

SUMMARY:Love is in the Air
DESCRIPTION:Love is in the Air\nSunday\, April 26th 1:00 – 2:15pm PT\n$35\nPresented online via Zoom \nwith Robert Litman – Buteyko Educator since 2003 and author of The Breathable Body \nWe exist within the living\, breathing atmosphere of Gaia—an ever-present exchange of inhales and exhales shared by all living beings. Each breath ties us to ourselves\, each other\, and the Earth. This rhythm of life is inescapable\, a continuous cycle sustaining all that exists. The air around us patiently awaits our next inhale\, transforming into breath\, carrying the essence of our heart’s deepest desires. \nWords\, through their repeated use and meaning\, hold an energetic imprint. Take a moment to think of the word Love. As you inhale and exhale with this word in your awareness\, notice how your breath carries its energy. How does the movement of your breath embody this feeling? How does the quality of your breath shift your experience of both body and mind? \nTogether we will explore the power of words in fostering connection. Through breath and movement we will we will experience how language transcends abstraction\, becoming a felt\, somatic experience. Discovering words that deepen our capacity for meaningful and intimacy with ourselves\, with others\, and with the Earth.

SUMMARY:There Is No Such Thing as Breathwork; It’s Not Work
DESCRIPTION:Thursdays Mar 20\, 27\, Apr 10\, 17\, 24\, May 1 • 11:00am -12:30pm PT \nA Six-Week Buteyko Breathing Education Immersion\nwith Robert Litman / A Breathable Body Program \nAll sessions are recorded \n  \nWe breathe. No two breaths are alike. Every breath is tailored to your specific conditions\, including your health status\, body chemistry\, levels of stress or relaxation\, state of sleep\, and physical activity. Breath is always changing to accommodate the needs of your heart and your body’s organs. Even when you’re caught in a pattern of gasping for air or feeling you cannot receive enough breath\, breath does its best to accommodate—whether the need is known to you or not. Discomfort can bring your attention to something\, including breath. Most of the people who come to me for counseling about breath\, come because they sense that their breathing isn’t functioning well. \nWe can manipulate breathing to change our state\, and we might call it breathwork. Doing this can shift the pulse and tenor of our nervous system\, our heart’s rhythm and breathing cadence from hyperactive or stressful to calmer. But I prefer not to call it work. It’s not a task like working in an office or cleaning house. Putting our breath to work can be yet another stress. \nOur breathing bodies are in relationship to the rhythm and ecology of earth. We breathe\, plants breathe\, four-legged animals breathe\, birds breathe\, fish breathe\, and on and on. I think it’s more useful to feel ourselves in a relationship with our breath than to add another item onto our to-do list. We need to breathe with the rhythms and needs of our bodies and the earth in order to sustain and enjoy life. \nLike any relationship\, you and your breath may grow more intimate. You are exploring a relational potential\, learning the ins and outs of what serves this connection to nurture health and find pleasure in the connection. When you practice “breathwork\,” you turn breath from a sacred gift into an object that needs fixing. In that mode\, you might ask\, “Am I doing it right?” trying to fit a dynamic process into a box. One client told me that when she was trying to make her breath behave according to her idea of how it should\, she felt as though she were trying to corral a wild stallion. And it rebelled. \nSo\, instead of “breathwork” as “work\,” simply enter a state of receptivity. That way\, even if you practice “Box Breathing\,” Pranayama\, or another technique\, you can do it as an exploration\, not a task. In this open state\, feel how it feels to be curious about how this “imposed” pattern affects your inner ecology\, and see if you can then enter an intimate relationship with your breathing body—where the breath you’re breathing is an experience rather than a task. You are the breather\, and breath is your intimate partner. Breath and the movements of your body are in relationship with your inhalation and exhalation\, and this is one of your most primary relationships. \nI can’t tell you what your experience will be like. It will be your experience and whatever discoveries you make are your own. I can\, however\, guide you to explore and experiment with different breathing patterns as ways to contact the nature of breath and its impact on your nervous system and other biological functions. Even to call your nervous system a “system” is to act as though it can be separated from the unified bodily experience. There is\, in fact\, no separation of systems or the activity of cellular life\, or between your biology and the biology of the ecosystem you’re in. The trees and the microorganisms of the seas produce the oxygen we breath and absorb the carbon dioxide we exhale. \nIf we call carbon dioxide a byproduct or a waste gas\, though we deny the biological truth that it nourishes the plants around us. And our bodies retain a fair amount of CO2 for other bodily functions. The Bohr Effect shows that carbon dioxide helps regulate the acid/base balance of our blood and helps facilitate the movement of oxygen from our lungs to our red blood cells and into the mitochondria within our cells\, where they metabolize into the energy that powers our metabolic processes. \nAlthough I can’t tell you the content of your experience of breath\, I can tell you mine\, how breath moves through me and the benefits I receive from being in a dynamic relationship with my own breathing. Teachers of breathing can pass along their experience\, and the ways of breathing that have been of benefit to them. These instructions can guide you as you enter your own intimate relationship with your own breathing body. \nIt’s like having a psychotherapist or physical therapist to help you become aware of activities and ways of being that benefit you. But they only “work” if you try them on for yourself. Your breathing and the pacing\, sounds\, and touch of breath and your body’s movement in response to the play of breath are your real teachers. The Breathable Body invites you to practice\, to explore\, and to discover. You don’t have to “work.” \n

SUMMARY:A Somatic Movement Approach to Breathing
DESCRIPTION:A Somatic Movement Approach to Breathing \nwith Robert Litman\, RSME \n3-class series on Saturdays\, June 1\, June 15\, and June 29\, 2024 from 10am-12pm ET \n$150 for ISMETA members — $215 for non-members \n  \nBodies breathe! No two breaths are alike. Each new cycle of breathing can be viewed with curiosity and potential discovery. And we never know if we will get another breath. Each breath is a gift to animate our lives. Breathing consciously provides an opportunity to have a direct relationship with our inner landscapes and for our breath to become an inner resource for our interactions and connection with life—the life which surrounds us. The mission of a Somatic Movement Approach to Breathing is to guide you in establishing an intimate relationship with your breathing and the responsive movements of your body to the changes that arrive in the presence of breath. Noticing how breath moves within you and how the body responds to it are invitations to a deeper knowing of your emotional life\, your spiritual life (spirit is literally breath)\, your physical wellbeing\, your health\, your professional life\, and your private practice. \nIn this 3-class series that draws on the anatomy and physiology of breathing\, Robert Litman will guide you with Continuum explorations to learn to tune in deeply to your own breathing body\, an embodied experience that can be passed on to your clients.  Personal histories and adaptations to circumstances shape the tensional patterns of our bodies\, patterns that\, in turn\, shape our breathing. Overly protective tensions that arose from trauma\, whether hypervigilance or collapse\, limit the capacity of the breath to fully provide nourishment to all the cells of the body—bringing in oxygen and removing excess carbon dioxide. Learning to perceive the “messages” that breath\, breathing\, and our somatic responses to breathing express can inform us as healthcare providers. In fact\, Robert believes that learning to read breathing patterns is an essential skill in any somatic movement or complementary field. Equally important is to be able to speak to the client about these patterns and to offer cues that can open new possibilities for wellness. \nParticipants in this course will learn: \n\nThe basic science of respiration\, proper breathing mechanics\, and how nose breathing plays an essential role in oxygen nutrition and maintaining health.\nTo attend to the body to shift disordered breathing to functional breathing patterns that rest and settle the nervous system\, potentially reducing stress\, anxiety\, and depression.\nThe application of breathing practices in therapeutic settings to alleviate symptoms of anxiety\, panic\, and dysfunctional breathing\, i.e. asthma\, COPD\, and emphysema.

SUMMARY:Shaping the Body for Breath: Yoga\, Continuum & Breathing
DESCRIPTION:Shaping the Body for Breath \nYoga\, Continuum & Breathing \nwith Bobbie Ellis & Robert Litman \nOctober 7 & 8\, 2023 11 am – 3 pm Pacific Time \nwith optional in-depth practice on October 9\, 11 am – 3 pm \n  \nIt is said in many old yoga texts that the breath shapes the body like wind on sand… \nIn this 2 or 3-day experience we will explore yoga “shapes” imbued with the sounds\, movements and silent listening of Continuum to evoke space and shape for breath to be received without resistance. As breath touches the body from the inside\, we will use the gentle touch of our hands to bring into relationship our internal and external perceptions. In using sound to bring vibration into the body\, another ancient yoga technique\, the movement of sound begins to change our structure and becomes the architect for the sacred gift of breathing. \nClass Schedule \n\nOctober 7 & 8 — $195 or $175 early registration by 10/1\nOctober 9 — $50\nAll 3 days — $245 or $225 early registration by 10/1\n\nPayable via PayPal\, Venmo\, Credit Card\, check or Zelle. \n\n  \n
