Join Gianluca and Deborah, founders of Senses and Breathwork Sri Lanka on a transformational path to becoming a breathwork facilitator.
This isn’t just another online training. It’s an intimate, heart-led experience shaped by over 7 years of embodied practice and facilitation. Though online, this journey is deeply interactive and you won’t walk it alone. We are here with you every step of the way, guiding and supporting you with weekly 1 on 1, group calls and holding space as you grow into your role as a facilitator.
This is one of the most comprehensive and soulful breathwork trainings available, a carefully curated experience designed to take you from curious student to confident, certified space holder. You’ll receive not only practical knowledge and professional tools, but also the energetic and emotional guidance needed to truly embody this work.
To become a breathwork facilitator is to answer a sacred calling: to guide others through their healing, with compassion, presence, and integrity.
If you feel the pull toward healing, service, and self-discovery, you already carry the seed of what it takes.
Whether you’re a therapist expanding your offerings, a yoga teacher deepening your students’ journeys, or a soul drawn to the power of breath:
now is the time to step forward, trust the path, and remember who you came here to be.

A TRAINING BEYOND THE SCREEN
WHERE INTIMACY MEETS INTEGRITY
There are no shortcuts on the path to becoming a breathwork facilitator.
This work requires commitment, presence and time for study, for practice, and for integration. We believe two months is a spacious and grounded window to begin this transformation. And because traveling abroad for that length of time can be difficult or costly, we’ve designed this training to be fully online yet deeply interactive and personal.
This is not a self-paced course you move through alone.
You will be held, supported, and gently held accountable throughout the entire journey. We are here with you, from the very first module to your graduation ceremony.
Each week, you’ll receive carefully structured study material to explore at your own rhythm. Then, every Sunday at 3pm CET, we gather for a live 3-hour call to review what you’ve learned, ask questions, share experiences, and practice together. These live sessions are where community, connection and real learning unfold.
This is a true 100-hour training, rich with content and embodied experience. Alongside the core material, you’ll receive a curated selection of books and articles to deepen your knowledge well beyond the training itself.
To additionally support your personal integration and growth:
-
You’ll be invited to book 1 on 1 mentorship calls every Wednesday with your teachers.
-
You’ll be paired with a fellow trainee as a support buddy, a mirror for encouragement, reflection, and shared practice.
Still wondering if an online training can really be this connected, alive, and supportive?
We invite you to scroll through the FAQ or simply schedule a free 30-minute call with us.
We’re here to meet you, answer your questions, and help you feel into whether this path is meant for you.
MORE THAN A TRAINING
WE CARE ABOUT YOUR FUTURE

We will offer you to join our whatsapp community, a heartfelt and welcoming space with all the facilitators who have trained with us where you can connect with someone who maybe live nearby you and can offer the opportunity for you to assist an in person session and offer guidance. From our side we will offer a life time of continued support via mentorship calls and additionally you will always have the opportunity to assist us in any in-person session everywhere we will be.
