Background

About Robert Litman

For the past 30 years, I have guided athletes, doctors, singers, musicians, body therapists, movement teachers, clients and students in the use of movement, breath and sound as a tool for personal growth, restoring healthy breathing rhythms and structural alignment. I founded The Breathable Body in 2003. I co-developed the Wellsprings Practitioner Program with Emilie Conrad, the founder of Continuum Movement and co-taught and co-developed additional programs with her for 18 years. I have been a faculty member and head of the Departments of Anatomy and Physiology and Movement Education at the Desert Institute of the Healing Arts Massage School, Tucson, AZ. I teach the Buteyko Technique of Breathing Retraining, helping people with disorders such as asthma, insomnia, sleep apnea, digestive disorders, fibromyalgia, and specializing in anxiety and panic attacks. I am a founding member of the Buteyko Breathing Educators Association (BBEA) in the US as well as trainer of educators in the Buteyko Technique. I was a preceptor at the University Of Arizona School Of Integrative Medicine teaching the Buteyko Technique to visiting doctors for Dr. Andrew Weil for 5 years. I have an advanced certification in the Duggan-French Approach to Somatic Pattern Recognition, a structural alignment modality in the lineage of Dr. Ida Rolf. I now make my home on Vashon Island, WA, continuing to offer private sessions and classes in movement and breathing. I regularly leads classes and workshops worldwide.
