Breathwork

Understand the profound impact of breath and learn how to skillfully guide others towards holistic well-being, whether in dedicated breathwork sessions, integrated into practices like yoga or meditation, or in daily life.

By applying these evidence-informed and tradition-based techniques, you’ll support enhanced energy levels, sharper mental clarity, emotional regulation, and optimal respiratory function for yourself and in those you work with.


Yin Yoga Therapy

Yin Yoga Therapy™ is a reflective and meditative practice rooted in energetic meridian theory, mindfulness, and promoting profound physical, emotional, and energetic release.

This training introduces the practice, science, and philosophy of Yin Yoga Therapy™. You will gain a comprehensive understanding of the connection between body and mind, the balance of energy and emotions, and work with meridians and Chi, fascia, mobility, and flexibility.

This knowledge will equip you with vital tools for personal practice and effective teaching. Join us in fostering a community that emphasizes presence, resilience, and inner tranquility.


2-Week Immersion

Over two immersive weeks we introduce the profound practice of facilitating Breathwork sessions with the art of guiding Yin Yoga Therapy™ experiences, providing a solid base towards your professional development in both practices.

We will delve into the scientific principles and core practices of Breathwork that enhance physical, mental, and emotional well-being. By learning to integrate these techniques, you will bring a new dimension to your personal life and gain the confidence to begin sharing these powerful tools in simple, effective ways, or enhance your existing professional offerings.
