Breathwork & the Nervous System
Somatic tools, breath and the nervous system
A 4 Week Course with Kimberly Ann Johnson
(formerly Jaguar Essentials)
We have all experienced many unforeseen changes of direction.
Meanwhile, life has gone on. For most of us.
We don’t know what the future holds.
How will this affect our children, and their children?
Will we choose the earth?
Will we choose each other- even those whose realities we cannot see?
Are we willing to change?
The answer to these questions depends on us.
How much resilience and stamina do we have to build a new culture?
That depends largely on our relationship to our nervous systems.
Do we understand what our bodies are telling us? Will we listen? There is so much to dis-entangle.
My work to this point has been based on healthy sexuality + embodied consent.
Now we have to go a layer deeper.
Elemental and crucial skills for how we move forward to build a world we want to belong to.
If we are touch-starved and socially anxious, coming together for intimacy takes on a whole other layer of charge and requires different skills. We have to have a comfort level with proximity, touch and body.
Healthy sexuality + embodied consent are built on a foundation of
CARE + TOGETHERNESS.
YOU can be a leader by investing in and devoting yourself to translating your own nervous system so no one else has to.
In this round of Activate your Inner Jaguar, we will go back to the roots of our felt sense perception of the nervous system. It’s not an idea.
It’s an experience.
After this course, you won’t have to wonder or guess at what state you’re in. You will know.
The body tells the story. So the amount of stress you carry coming through this experience will be directly proportional to how you have been able to move through it.
And we will be feeling in and through together. We have always needed each other, in ways that we may have not valued or understood.

What People Are Saying:
Can we feel in our bones the truth of what is happening and our place in it?
Can we reach out to other hearts and hands?
Do we understand what our body is telling us? Are we listening?
We need to awaken to our wildness.
Will we choose to come out of the cave?
If we do listen, and we do begin to translate the language of our body, then we can begin to lift out of the fog.
