Breath, Movement & the Art of Regulation with Zev Tropp
In this episode, Mish speaks with Zev Tropp, a yoga teacher, artist, and breathwork facilitator, about the role of breath in movement, mindfulness, and daily life. From ancient yogic teachings to modern breathwork practices, they explore how breath can be used as a tool for both up-regulation and down-regulation—helping us manage stress, emotions, and even physical performance.
They unpack:
- Zev’s personal journey into yoga and breathwork
- The link between breath, the nervous system, and emotional regulation
- How breath practices differ from yoga—but are also deeply connected
- The rise of breathwork as its own wellness modality
- Tips for fitness professionals to incorporate breathwork without feeling like a knob
- The value of personal practice and self-kindness
