What We Liked, and What to Weigh

YOGABODY advertises this course on Meta. The page behind the ad is clear: published price and syllabus, live classes, and exams you must pass at 85%.

What to weigh: this is breath coaching, not Breathwork facilitator training. Its syllabus does not include leading a long conscious connected session.

That session is what our Breathwork certification is built around. To feel one first, get a free recording of one of our live Breathwork classes.

These lessons cover the conscious connected side of our curriculum.

  • Structuring a Session: The Energetic Arc
  • The Nervous System & Polyvagal Theory
  • Tetany & Why It's Safe
  • Trauma-Informed Facilitation
  • Lenses, Maps of Consciousness, Letting Go & Parts Work

See the full curriculum

What we don't teach: We don't teach or certify the YOGABODY Breath Coach method, brace breathing for lifting, or a Yoga Alliance certificate. If you need those, train with them.
