BREATHWORK FACILITATOR TRAINING

Should you already be a breathwork professional, This certification is one that will take you to the next level.  With a weaving of the sacred, with strong teachings around ethics, boundaries, and consent – diversity & inclusivity – as well as technique, science and the psychology of trauma – you receive a full spectrum understanding of the power of breath. 

You are also moving through your own personal development to ensure that you are prepared to hold that space for others, while learning the basics of building your breathwork business.  And at the end of the day – you become a colleague and an alumni of one of the most respected international breathwork schools!

Our 400+ hr curriculum is  a combination of live calls, mentorship sessions, required reading, case studies, Graduating practicum and pair work.  You are required to attend 80% of our teaching calls  and our final graduating practicum in person and we ask that all applications have experience some form of breathwork approx. 10 x before they attend their first class with us.

You can begin to facilitate client sessions once you have completed our training successfully, received your certification from Seven Directions Breathwork and are fully insured.

Our training is in compliance with the Global Professional Breathwork Alliance and is a full 10 months – you will have up to two months after our Graduating Practicum week to complete your case studies and have access to our platform and recordings.
