All You Have to Do is Breathe | Christopher August

Master breathwork facilitator, personal development coach and cofounder of Beats and Breath Christopher August beams in to talk about the transformative power of the breath, the healing properties of cannabis, and awakening to your true purpose on episode 133 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.

Christopher August is a Transformation Teacher, Master Breathwork Facilitator and the Co-Founder of Beats and Breath, an innovative sonic breathwork app and holistic wellness hub. 

Born and raised in Buffalo, NY, Christopher earned his master’s degree in Organizational Leadership in 2012, then made a bold decision to go against the status quo and leave his lucrative corporate job behind in pursuit of a greater calling to explore the world and assist others. For two years he lived in a small rural village, serving as a Peace Corps volunteer. By day, he worked as a health advisor and business development guide in the local community and by night he sought answers to the deeper questions of life. Through a deep communion with nature and a transformative daily practice of writing, meditation, yoga and breathwork, he began to forge a new and profound connection with himself, allowing him to uncover a deeper sense of happiness, meaning and freedom. 

Since then, Christopher has traveled the globe, studying and training in various healing modalities and tools, including breathwork, Gene Keys, herbalism and energy work while at the same time, coaching, connecting and collaborating with people from all walks of life. 
Most recently, Christopher’s breathwork company and mobile app, Beats and Breath has partnered with Chopra global, emerging as a leading-edge solution for those seeking self-mastery and mind-body healing. Their innovative technology and practice, Sonic Breathwork™ blends together ancient rhythmic breathing techniques with modern music production and the latest advancements in bioacoustics to optimize and enhance one’s physical, mental, emotional, and energetic well-being in a matter of minutes. 

In this episode, Faust and Christopher cover a range of topics, including:
-Christopher’s incredible personal journey to spirituality while stationed in the remote wilderness of Tanzania
-The evolution of Beats and Breath, an app that combines sound and breathwork for an immersive and unique meditation experience
