AN ONLINE TRAINING THAT FEELS REAL
There are no shortcuts to become a breathwork facilitator, you need to study and consistently practice yourself allowing time for integration before being able to hold space for others. We believe that two months is a sufficient time to be ready for that and might be difficult and very expensive to spend two months abroad hence why we opted for a training with online studying and weekly live calls that can end with an option for you to come to Sri Lanka for a final intensive retreat and a free internship at Senses to assist us and other teachers during our weekly breathwork practices.
This is not a course where you will watch videos and be done with it. You will be kept accountable, followed and felt supported during the duration of the training until your graduation exams.
You will receive the material to study at your own pace on a week by week basis and every Sunday we will have live calls of 2.5 hrs to review the subjects of the week, have time for Q&A, practice together and prepare for the following week.
Every Wednesday you have the opportunity to book a 1:1 call for a private call with your teachers and you will also be partnered with another trainee to support and motivate each other.
