Prerequisite Requirement for Breathwork Training
As part of the application process for our breathwork training program, it is mandatory for all prospective participants to have completed a minimum of 4 conscious connected breathwork sessions. These sessions should have been conducted either within a group setting or on a one-on-one basis, in-person or online with a qualified practitioner. This prerequisite is integral to ensuring that individuals possess a foundational understanding of conscious connected breathwork before embarking on this transformative journey.
It is crucial to emphasise that our training delves deep into the breathwork process, requiring participants to not only undergo personal exploration but also provide support to others in their emotional and spiritual journey. This program is distinctly different from pranayama or functional breathwork training. While it is not soley a self-development retreat, participants are expected to actively engage with the group dynamics, fostering a collaborative and supportive environment throughout the training.
By upholding these prerequisites, we aim to cultivate a meaningful and enriching experience for all participants, rooted in a shared commitment to personal growth and communal support in the realm of breathwork.

This training is focused on cultivating heart centred presence, safety, clear communication, and the skills to guide and support the deep physical and emotional release which can occur in a therapeutic breathwork session, as well as the ongoing process of transformation which your clients may be experiencing.
The training is trauma informed and will show you how to support trauma release and integration, as well as how to work with an individual who is experiencing unprocessed trauma. You will also learn how to support individual nervous systems and resilience levels.

Module 1
We can only support our clients into the depths which we, ourselves have experienced.
Module 1 is all about YOU! We focus on your self development through breathwork, meditation, radical self honesty, feeling, identifying, communication and self inquiry. We look at the thought and behavioural patterns we have built up over the years, as well as coping mechanisms, protection strategies and the way we interact with others.
As we begin to make internal space through integrating and releasing the long held tension in our own bodies, we become more present, embodied, grounded and more comfortable with stillness. We learn self reflection and how to listen to the language of our bodies. We connect with intuition and creativity. As you learn to hold space for yourself, you learn to hold the sacred space for others.
We also focus on collective care. The power of being in a group can not be underestimated. We learn how to actively listen and support our fellow participants in the way we, ourselves would like to be supported. We explore boundaries, consent, regulation and resource.
Module 2
Alongside the self-experiential side of breathwork, meditation, and inquiry, we learn the fundamentals of being in service and supporting others.
We learn about trauma, how it can show up in a session, and how it can be supported. We learn about energetic hygiene, self care as a facilitator, posture and positioning, ethics and contraindications.
We explore various forms of touch and bodywork. What to say and how to listen. Appropriate interventions. Empathy, resonance, pendulation, titration and integration.
Integration of spiritual experiences, expanded states of awareness and the healing crisis.
Alternative breathwork techniques to support the individuals nervous system.
Module 3
Continuing to work with 1:1 sessions, we will also start to introduce breathing together with a partner /group work - supporting a circle. Sacred ceremony, opening and closing the container. You will have the opportunity to assist in supporting the group. Start to find your uniqueness as a space holder - who am I? What do I stand for? Passion? Skills? You will start to refine and develop your own unique way of sharing breathwork.
Module 4
Alongside our breathwork, meditation and self inquiry explorations, we enter into the group facilitation module of the training. Each participant creates and facilitates a group session, whilst others assist. Each student facilitator will receive feedback from the group.
Ongoing Online Support until May 2025

We will meet online each month after the training to discuss any questions you may have, discoveries, insights, progress and uncertainties.
We will meet in individual mentor sessions (to be arranged with Natalie to suit your schedule) as well as group Q&A’s twice per month (Wednesdays 10am UK time).

Live (in-person) Training Content - A Brief Overview
We can only support our clients into the depths which we, ourselves have experienced.
The first weeks of the training are all about YOU! We focus on your self development through breathwork, meditation, radical self honesty, feeling, identifying, communication and self inquiry. We look at the thought and behavioural patterns which have been constructed over the years, as well as coping mechanisms, protection strategies, the shadow-self, and the way we interact with others. As we begin to make internal space through shifting the long held tension in our own bodies, we become more present, embodied, grounded and more comfortable with stillness. We learn self reflection and how to listen to the language of our bodies. We connect with intuition and creativity. As you learn to hold space for yourself, you learn to hold the sacred space for others.
We also focus on collective care. The power of processing together in a group can not be underestimated. We learn how to actively listen and support our fellow participants in the way we, ourselves would like to be supported. We look at boundaries, consent, regulation/co-regulation and resource.
Alongside the experiential work of breathwork, meditation, and inquiry, we learn the fundamentals of being a space holder and supporting others.
