BioDynamic Breathwork And Trauma Release System By Giten Tonkov – The Shift Network: A Comprehensive 7-Week Path to Healing

Are you ready to release deep-seated trauma, reclaim your emotional freedom, and cultivate a life of openness and vitality? BioDynamic Breathwork And Trauma Release System By Giten Tonkov – The Shift Network invites you on a transformative 7-week journey. Through powerful breath, movement, and body-based techniques, you’ll learn to gently dissolve trauma stored within your tissues — creating new pathways for joy, resilience, and self-discovery.

Introduction: Why BioDynamic Breathwork Matters

In these rapidly changing times, many of us have adapted to constant uncertainty. Yet, the reverberations of unprocessed trauma can linger for years — manifesting as chronic tension, stress, or emotional numbness. According to trauma-release expert Giten Tonkov, founder of the BioDynamic Breathwork & Trauma Release System® (BBTRS®), unresolved trauma resides in the body’s tissues, undermining our natural capacity for relaxation and vitality.

This 7-week BioDynamic Breathwork And Trauma Release System By Giten Tonkov – The Shift Network training addresses how trapped energies, small or large, can overwhelm the nervous system and shape unproductive coping mechanisms. By safely releasing these stored tensions, you can rediscover your natural ability to live with ease, embrace deeper intimacy with others, and reconnect with a more vibrant sense of self.

Understanding Trauma: A Pathway to Healing

Trauma isn’t limited to major life events — it can also result from everyday stress or repeated exposure to smaller, overlooked challenges. When the nervous system doesn’t have time or resources to process these experiences, they remain locked in the body. Over time, this unresolved energy influences posture, breathing patterns, emotional responses, and mental clarity.

Through BioDynamic Breathwork, you’ll learn how trauma accumulates and impacts your wellbeing. More importantly, you’ll learn how to gradually release it using a carefully designed method that combines breath, movement, sound, touch, conscious emotional expression, and meditation.

What is the BioDynamic Breathwork & Trauma Release System?

The BioDynamic Breathwork & Trauma Release System® (BBTRS®) is a comprehensive approach developed by Giten Tonkov that supports the body’s natural process for releasing chronic tension, self-restricting patterns, and emotional trauma. This powerful healing modality creates pathways to experience joy, self-love, and deep relaxation by working with seven key areas of tension in the body.

The Six Elements of BioDynamic Breathwork

BBTRS utilizes six integrated healing tools to facilitate the release of trauma:

1. Breath – The primary focus and foundation of the system
2. Movement – Facilitating physical release of stored tension
3. Touch – Supporting the body’s awareness and healing
4. Sound – Releasing vocal and emotional blockages
5. Conscious Emotional Expression – Acknowledging and processing emotions
6. Meditation – Cultivating presence and self-awareness

Unlike other breathwork practices that involve continuous deep breathing, BBTRS employs a unique interval approach using the principle of titration—releasing tension in small, manageable doses to prevent overstimulation of the nervous system.

The Seven Belts of Tension

The BBTRS methodology identifies seven distinct belts of tension in the body, each linked to specific emotional patterns:

1. Ocular Belt (eyes, forehead, top of head) – Associated with suspicion, anger, grief, and vigilance
2. Oral Belt (mouth, chin, nose, jaw, ears) – Connected to contempt, disgust, longing, fear, and desire
3. Cervical Belt (neck muscles, tongue) – Linked to self-pity, helplessness, fear, rage, and creativity
4. Thoracic Belt (heart, shoulders, chest, arms, hands, lungs) – Houses grief, love, fear, anger, and joy
5. Diaphragmatic Belt (diaphragm, stomach, rib cage) – Holds pain, pleasure, rage, strength, and empowerment
6. Abdominal Belt (abdominal and lower back muscles) – Related to fear, trust, and nourishment
7. Pelvic Belt (core pelvic muscles, genitals, buttocks, leg muscles) – Contains sexual feelings, power, anger, terror, and pleasure

The Importance of Titration and Felt Sense

Unlike some breathwork methods that encourage continuous, deep breathing, BioDynamic Breathwork uses the principle of titration — releasing trauma in small, deliberate doses. This approach reduces overstimulation and helps you remain grounded.

You’ll also learn to work with the felt sense — the practice of staying present with subtle physical sensations without judgment. By honing this skill, you can recognize when sensations become too intense and shift to a more comforting, stable resource.
