A relaxed 20-minute chat to see if this training is right for you. No pressure, no obligation, just your questions answered.
This 50-hour training is an immersive journey for those who feel called to deepen their understanding and personal practice of breathwork, with a strong focus on Conscious Connected Breathing.
It is designed for practitioners who already have a foundational experience with breathwork and are ready to explore it in a safe, embodied, and responsible way. Whether you wish to begin guiding others or to integrate breathwork into your existing offerings, this training provides the knowledge, structure, and confidence to do so with integrity.
This program is especially supportive for yoga teachers, facilitators, coaches, and mental health professionals who feel called to weave breathwork into their work, expanding their capacity to hold space with clarity, professionalism, support, presence, and care.
The program combines a 30hr in-person immersion, where you will be guided through experiential practices, group processes, and hands-on facilitation, with additional 20hrs of online study and mentorship, allowing you to integrate the teachings into your daily life with flexibility and support.
