Insight publishes its full curriculum: functional breathing, the nervous system, trauma, non-ordinary states, supportive touch and business. The guarantee is plain too. Two weeks of live calls, or 14 days self-paced, then a full refund if it isn't right.
Everything is online, on Australian time. Their FAQ lists conditions that rule people out, including high blood pressure, pregnancy and diabetes, so read it before you enroll. Our Breathwork certification is taught live, and you can feel the style first with a free recording of one of our live Breathwork classes.

How much does Insight Breathwork cost?
On October 25, 2026 their site listed A$1,880 self-paced and A$2,900 for the live online cohort, early bird prices that end 8 November. Full prices are A$2,200 and A$3,400. Payment plans are available.
