Master the Art of Breathwork Facilitation
It is crucial to do a trauma-informed breathwork certification that teaches you both the science of breathwork and how to hold space of trauma that may arise during a breathwork session. However, understanding those components is not enough to make you the best breathwork facilitator. We have lots of one-on-one support and coaching for you to gain the practice and feedback necessary to show up as a leader in your community with a strong presence and voice.
Teaches The Neuroscience of Breathwork
Not only will you learn how to guide others in breathwork, you will understand the science behind the guidance. Knowing how to access certain brain states with different individuals allows you to teach in a more trauma-informed way.
A Holistic Approach to Many Types of Breathwork
There are many different methods of breathwork, which all alter an individuals emotions and consciousness in different ways. Understanding which types of breathwork are best for different individuals at different times allows you to be a more informed and expert instructor.

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. We’ve made the science component of 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 the neuroscience of breathwork 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.
The main breathwork style that we focus on 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 also learn every style pranayama and all styles of modern breathwork so that you have a variety of breathwork techniques to incorporate into your life and support your clients.
When you do your breathwork test-outs, you can choose to guide circular connected breath, three-part breath, or whichever style of breathwork you would like to specialize in.
