Breath as a self-regulation tool — present in IKY's live classes and on-demand library, woven into the rest of the IKY System rather than treated as a standalone discipline.
Within the IKY System, breathwork is conscious work with the breath: a set of techniques used to regulate the nervous system, support movement, and sustain attention during practice. It's not a separate class with its own schedule, but a layer present in most practices — from warm-up to closing.
This way of working with the breath integrates naturally with IKYnesis (the biomechanics and conscious-movement approach created by C.R. Kan) and with the kankueb cosmovision: body, movement and breath are understood as part of a single process, not as separate techniques.
In the live classes (in English and Spanish), conscious breathing is guided in real time as part of the session. In the on-demand library, several videos include breathwork segments tagged for easy search, so you can find them directly if that's what you're after that day. Searching by "How do you feel today?" can also recommend breathwork content when the state you choose calls for it — built to help you practice what you need right now, not just pick a class by name.
This is a wellness and self-regulation tool, not a medical or therapeutic treatment. If you have a respiratory, cardiovascular or other health condition, please consult a professional before practicing intensive breathing techniques.
