This training gives you everything you need to become a confident Breathwork Facilitator and safely lead one-on-one clients, couples, and groups. You must be 18 years old or older and have done inner work before doing this training. We recommend that you've done circular connected breath before with Breath of Gold™, although it's not required. You will have many opportunities to do breathwork and inner work in the training.

Currently, breathwork is not regulated by an overarching board of directors. We are proud to say that The Breath of Gold™ Facilitator Program is approved by The Yoga Alliance as an accredited continuing education program. 

You will be able to log 84 credit hours with The Yoga Alliance after completing this facilitator program.

Total Hours in the Breath of Gold™ Breathwork Facilitator Program:

• 14 hours of pre-recorded modules.
• 24 hours live zoom training over the span of 16 weeks.
• 24 hours of doing your own breathwork practice (recommended done live via Adrienne's Sunday Breathwork Classes which you'll get access to)
• 3 hours for your test-out sessions (leading a 1:1 session & a group session) to get your certification 
• 30+  hours of breathwork journeys included in the training for lifetime access to continue mastering your craft of guiding breathwork. These do not have to be done before graduation—they are intended to be there to support you on embodying your breathwork journey once you become an instructor.

In total—that adds up to 84 hours total of training.

Note: If students have questions, we will add bonus trainings. As we have bonus trainings, and additional guest teachers--there will be additional trainings added to the Breath of Gold™ Breathwork Facilitator Program. 

The majority are pre-recorded but we also have weekly 90 min live sessions. There are 14 hours of pre-recorded videos in the training. The videos are professionally recorded and high quality. The videos also include transcripts below for those with different learning styles who love to read along with it. 

Occasionally, if a student has questions that are not answered in the course, we'll add in a live bonus trainings and email you to let you know that there is an optional bonus training that will be happening. If you cannot make it live, that is okay. We will upload all of the bonus trainings into the Membership site for you to watch when it's convenient. 

This Facilitator Program includes 16 weeks of our Sunday Breathwork classes from 5:30-7 pm Pacific Time hosted on Zoom.

During the training and after the training, you will have email support with Adrienne Rivera and she'll make sure that your questions are answered. You're learning will continue after this course and we're here to answer your questions along the way!

The main Breathwork style that Adrienne leads and teaches is "Circular Connected Breath." This is where you lie down on your back, breathing in and out through your mouth for 45-60 minutes. In this course, you'll learn the pranayama techniques and other modern styles of breathwork so that you have a variety of breathwork techniques to incorporate into your life and support your clients.

We’ve looked at multiple breathwork certifications, and we've found several missing components that we find essential. The first is understanding the science behind what’s happening during breathwork. We’ve hired a doctor to do the breathwork modules so you can have the best possible knowledge of what you’re teaching. In many other breathwork certifications, the anatomy and physiology of breathwork is not taught in an easy-to-understand way, and we’ve made ours really applicable to facilitating breathwork so that you know exactly what you need to know to lead breathwork. 

We are also the first ever breathwork facilitator program to include in trainings from a neuroscientist so that you learn the effects of breathwork on the brain and how it shifts the brain into different brain wave lengths.

We’ve also hired a therapist to teach about how to be a trauma-informed practitioner. This is very important for coaches, healers, and in breathwork. 

Most breathwork certifications out there don’t teach out to get clients. We go deep into the business of breathwork so that you can make this your business and career if you’d like it to be. 

You will also learn nearly every single style of breathwork so that you can lead multiple types of breathwork or pranayama classes if you choose.

Yes, every aspect of this program is all done online, so you can join this from anywhere in the world. All of the modules are self-paced except for the 16 weeks of 90-minute live bonus sessions which include time for you to practice leading sessions, attending guest speakers, doing your test outs, and there will also be 90-minute weekly Sunday Breathwork sessions from 5:30-7:00 pm (PST). It is not mandatory that you join live, but it is highly recommended and encouraged. Additionally, we offer breathwork retreats for those of you looking for hands-on experience supporting at retreats, email adrienne@adriennerivera.com to inquire about when the next retreat will be.

The test-outs are done online, and all of the modules will be able to be accessed immediately once you purchase it, and you will be able to access the training materials for life.

This breathwork certification is recommended to be done in 4 months. You can take longer if you need to, you will have lifetime access to the course.

You can go through the self-paced modules as fast as you’d like and probably get through everything in a week or two. Afterward, we recommend you go through it at your own pace, practicing and implementing it as you go.

Most people go through the training in about 8-16 weeks. After you complete all of the modules, there is a 50-question exam, a group breathwork test, and a one-on-one breathwork session that you must lead before you get your digital certificate emailed to you. It will have your name on it. You may print it out if you'd like once you receive it.

We have a no refund policy and a no cancellation policy for this course. Thank you in advance for understanding. If you find that you get busy during the process of this facilitator program, you can always continue the modules later at your own pace.
