DESTRESS WITH YOUR BREATH

New to me? Hi, I'm Dr. Dawn.

For years I lived with the same questions many of my clients ask today. I've lived with Type 1 diabetes for 40 years, so I understand in my body, not just theoretically, what it means to manage energy, regulate your nervous system, and find stability when your physiology and your mind don't always cooperate.
 
Thriving with Type 1 diabetes while leading a research program and team, raising a family, and running my own business shapes how I work with my clients. I'm also a Ph.D. research ecologist, a Certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT), and one of only 15 teachers worldwide certified to teach Pranayama in the Gitananda tradition.
 
Want the full story? Read my About page.

Dawn Browning, Ph.D., C-IAYT, is a research ecologist, certified yoga therapist, and one of just 15 certified Pranayama teachers in the Gitananda Yoga tradition. Drawing on 40 years of living with Type 1 diabetes, she helps high-achieving women restore energy and self-trust through science, breath, and botanicals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this for?

High-achieving women who are exhausted, overstimulated, or disconnected from their bodies, especially those managing chronic conditions, blood sugar issues, or burnout.

No. Every program and session is designed to meet you exactly where you are. No prior experience is needed. We often begin with conscious breathing to gauge your starting point. 

I bring a Ph.D. in research with 40 years of lived experience managing Type 1 diabetes and formal training in conscious breathing (Pranayama) in the Gitananda yoga lineage. This is not generic wellness. It is bespoke (in 1-on-1) or personal (in group programs) support grounded in both science and tradition. My goal for clients and students is to bolster critical thinking, self-awareness, and discernment.

At this time, all sessions and programs are conducted online via Zoom, by appointment only.
I do periodically teach in-person workshops that you'll see above when they're available.

Somatic Alchemy Sessions are two focused 1:1 therapeutic yoga sessions for personalized support. The Luminous Life Blueprint (LLB) is a comprehensive 6-week program — a full roadmap built around your life, your body, and your goals, including blood sugar regulation for steady energy. The LLB includes ongoing support throughout the 6-week program.

Yes, and I require my clients with chronic conditions to have a medical doctor for support. While my approach was developed through my own experience with Type 1 diabetes and is specifically relevant to anyone navigating energy, blood sugar, and metabolic wellness, I am not a medical doctor.
