Sounds True: BreathWork

Course program

BreathWork by Sounds True is an in-depth online program that introduces conscious breath as a tool for healing, emotional release, and expanded states of awareness. Led by Jennifer Patterson and a group of guest teachers, the course is open to people with no prior experience and emphasizes trauma-informed pacing alongside a wide range of breathing practices.

This program is for people who are new to breathwork or want a structured introduction to the practice. No previous experience is needed. It is well suited for anyone looking to reduce anxiety and stress, work with difficult emotions stored in the body, support recovery from trauma or addictive patterns, or build a steadier daily self-care practice rooted in the breath.

Across four months, students explore a range of beginning breathing practices delivered as 30–45 minute guided sessions, including trauma-informed techniques students can pace to their own comfort. The curriculum teaches how to anchor through surroundings to build inner safety, self-trust, and connectedness, and how to move through difficult emotions that have accumulated over time with support and self-compassion.

The program also covers practical applications, including using breathwork at work to foster change and growth in oneself and the surrounding environment, and using breath to expand consciousness and feel a sense of connection to ancestors, the land, and the universe. Students learn breathing techniques associated with reducing anxiety, lessening depression, easing stress and tension, working with emotions lodged in the body, boosting self-awareness and self-sufficiency, supporting recovery from addiction or substance misuse, and improving physiological functioning such as circulation and immune response.

The program is led by Jennifer Patterson, joined by a group of guest teachers who contribute across the four-month curriculum. Students can bring questions directly to Jennifer during her dedicated Office Hours sessions.

The format is hybrid. Students work through 30–45 minute pre-recorded guided breathing practices on their own schedule and join weekly live 90-minute teachings to deepen knowledge and practice within a supportive community. The program runs for four months and includes workbook activities, a library of shorter recorded practices, access to specialty workshops, and live Office Hours with Jennifer for direct questions.
