The Evolving Breath Two-Volume Set

Christopher Gladwell (Author)

Christopher Gladwell has authored 14 self-published books, the most popular of which is Engaged Yoga: Weaving Yoga into Daily Life. He has also written over 50 articles for the yoga press, including Kindred Spirit Magazine.

Christopher’s exploration of breath began with athletics and the military, where he encountered first-hand the relationship between respiration, stress, performance, and resilience. This inquiry expanded through martial arts, yoga, meditation, and conscious connected breathing into a systematic investigation of how breath, biomechanics, nervous system regulation, and attention shape both individual and collective development.

With five decades of lived practice and study, his work integrates the wisdom of deep meditative and initiatory lineages with evolutionary biology, neuroscience, psychology, and physiology to support sustainable human flourishing. Out of this synergy, and alongside extensive training in yogic psychology, mindfulness, Clinical Hypnotherapy, NLP, Structural Integration, Ayurveda, Shiatsu, and decades of teaching anatomy in movement, emerged Evolutionary Coherence (EC). EC is a systematic, practical framework composed of four Meta-Skills: trainable capacities to help people restore functional fit between mind, body, breath, and environment, so that people can meet life with clarity, resilience, agency, and heart, enabling full participation in life. These skills are - Intelligent Conscious Breathwork, Mind Training, Embodied Awareness & Relational Intelligence. These skills emphasize disciplined practice as the foundation of effective work with our biological algorithms and conditioning, and are necessary for authentic freedom with responsibility. Christopher has taught and presented internationally over the last 30 years at numerous retreats, conferences, and workshops, and continues to do so.
