What We Liked, and What to Weigh

The price is published, which many trainings skip. Lifetime access lets you take longer than three months. The bundled trauma and nervous system courses are useful for anyone who holds space.

It is self-study, with live help in a Telegram group, so most practice happens alone. Their ads say 200+ hours of training; the course page lists 140+. Our Breathwork certification is live. To feel a session first, try our Breathwork classes.

These lessons are where live feedback matters most.

  • Trauma-Informed Facilitation
  • The Nervous System & Polyvagal Theory
  • Reading the Breather: Sept. '26 Cohort
  • Phrases for Guiding a Session
  • Insurance, Waivers & Contraindications

What we don't teach: SOSHA Breathwork or their Level 3 path to certify others, and we don't certify anyone in their method. If you need those, train with them.
