Course modules
The course modules comprises of 5 elements of online and in-person work
Our training is structured around the elements; Earth, Fire, Air, Water and Space to reflect the connection the breath has to the natural elemental world with each exhale and how the natural elemental world is taken in to our beings with each inhale.
The Beyond the Breath Facilitator Certification is comprehensive, encouraging and empowering. We cover all aspects you need to have the skill set and confidence to deliver breathwork as we take theory into application.
We believe fully in the wisdom of the breath as it operates on all aspects of being; our body, our motivation, our mental clarity, our emotions and our spirit or soul, and so our training embodies what the breath means to you and your journey. We delve into your individuality, uncover your unique essence and inner courage for you to step into and show up as a facilitator who makes a difference. The inner personal journey is an important aspect to facilitation, so The Beyond the Breath learning style reflects this and gives you time to integrate each stage of our teaching.
You are fully supported by both teachers and a personal mentor.
Our collaboration with Breathing Space ensures this course has been fully recognised as a Practitioner Training Programme by the Global Professional Breathwork Alliance.

Personal Journey & practicum
If we are to hold others deep in process, we have to be prepared to go on a continuing journey of self exploration and healing.
It is expected for you to have a daily short breath practice and a weekly longer CCB breathwork journey and commit to regularly go to your deepest and tenderest edges.
As you go deeper into your personal journey, we ask you to write 5 blog pieces to document your process.
There is a requirement to support your journey of breath with reading from an extensive reading list we provide and for you to submit 3 book reports.
The only real way to become a breathwork facilitator is to facilitate Breathworks. It is, therefore, a graduation requirement for trainees to deliver 5 group breathworks and deliver and receive 5 one on ones. Self-evaluation and participant feedback must be completed for these. Opportunities for this are given through our various Online Breathing Spaces but it is expected that trainees will also organise their own too.
