"Max’s teachings are more important than ever. Not only as a breathing teacher with decades of experience but also as a human being interested in human beings. He is a pioneer in the field of contemporary breathing methods. Over ten years ago I was able to start healing on a deeper level from childhood trauma through Max's simple breathing techniques that he has developed and refined over 30 years of teaching. His presence allows you to release what has been out of reach, to feel compassionately held and professionally supported. Thank you, Max, for your precious work!"
