"I’ve always felt I wasn’t breathing fully. Twenty years ago I underwent massive mantle radiation on my lungs throat and abdomen, which left me with compromised lungs and difficulties breathing.
I’ve gotten amazing benefits from my participation including increased lung capacity, and an ability to create calmness in times of stress. It has also helped me sleep better and in general has given me a greater sense of wellbeing.
I practice all throughout my day. I also do various breathing exercises before I practice music or need to do something that requires focus. It has been such a blessing in my life to find Siri Gian and this breathing group. I’ve brought several friends and highly recommend this to anyone looking to improve their life and sense of wellness."

What is Reichian Therapy?
Reichian Therapy is a holistic healing approach that integrates breathwork, body awareness, and emotional release to dissolve deep-seated tension and promote overall well-being.
Developed by Dr. Wilhelm Reich, this method focuses on releasing "body armor"—chronic muscular and energetic blockages that store unresolved emotions and trauma.
By working with breath and somatic techniques, Reichian Therapy not only supports emotional and psychological healing but can also help alleviate physical ailments linked to tension, stress, and energetic stagnation.
This process empowers individuals to access greater vitality, emotional freedom, and a deeper connection to their authentic self, while also enhancing sexual vitality by restoring natural energy flow and deepening one’s connection to pleasure and life force energy.

What Makes the Reichian Institute Unique
Siri Gian Khalsa and his family of expert teachers provide instruction which combines ancient wisdom with state of the art techniques presented with gentleness, encouragement and humor, creating a very positive learning environment where students can learn to find more joy in their lives and realize their potential.
What students gain from training at the Reichian Institute is not just about content, it’s about transformative experiences leading to a healthier and happier life. We provide a context for students to accept themselves and take delight in who they are and where their life journey is taking them, inspiring them to go beyond their mind’s limits to where their heart leads.
By implementing daily practice as taught by world class instructors, Reichian Institute students re-discover their enthusiasm for what really lights them on fire. Many students go on to utilize this knowledge to embark on new, profoundly satisfying personal relationships and careers. Students come to like themselves more, accept their bodies and their values, and to view their life experiences from a more inspiring perspective.
With the clarity, confidence and energy that result from proper breath, movement and sound, life can be focused on growth and lived with enthusiasm. Achieving peace of mind brings beauty to the feelings about ones self, relationships, and career, resulting in an inspired life, unimpeded by self doubt or fear.
“I have done body and mind work with Dr. Siri Gian Singh Khalsa for 30 years. I have found his integrity infallible. His extreme knowledge of methods to heal and maintain the health of the body and settle the mind can only be outshone by his heart-centered practice and compassion. Anyone who has the good fortune to work with Dr. Khalsa will never regret it.”
