new dimension to the process. “It’s an op- portunity to create a shift simply because it doesn’t require talking and takes people out of their head and into their body,” says Sopko, who describes Transformational Breath as a specific breathing pattern that can access the subconscious mind and release suppressed feelings, trapped en- ergy and old patterning. “We don’t need the old programming that inhibits our personal growth and holds us back from achieving our goals and leading the life we were meant to live,” says Sopko, who notes that few individuals realize that the breath brings the life force and vibrancy to the body. “The less we think when we work with it, the better,” she explains.
