Recalling the second United States Breathing Conference 2025 in Rochester, Minnesota
Reflections from the Second Breathing Conference in Rochester, Minnesota
September 20–27, 2025
What an incredible week of learning, connection, and deep practice. From September 20th to 27th, 2025, I had the honor of attending the Second Breathing Conference in Rochester, Minnesota, where both locals and visitors from across the country gathered to study under two Grand Masters and a visiting instructor from South Korea.
Throughout the week, we explored profound aspects of breath, energy, and awareness – blending traditional wisdom with personal discovery. The atmosphere was alive with curiosity and reverence as practitioners came together to share insights, laughter, and quiet moments of transformation.
In the Instagram posts below, I’ve shared glimpses of my reflections and experiences during those seven days – the moments that inspired me, grounded me, and reminded me of the power of collective practice. Each post captures a different facet of what this conference meant to me: presence, renewal, and the subtle yet powerful flow of Seokmun Hoheup breathing.
I invite you to scroll through, pause where something resonates, and perhaps take a mindful breath with me as you do. 🌿
