Come on a Transformational Journey with Us
Our breathwork training stands apart because we honor the uniqueness of each individual—how they breathe, how they learn, and what they seek to cultivate through breathwork. While some programs emphasize sales tactics early on, we believe this sacred practice deserves time to be fully embodied before focusing on business strategies. Others may lean heavily into either scientific or ceremonial approaches, often neglecting the balance between the two. Some avoid hands-on support altogether. Through years of training, facilitating, and working with thousands of breathers in our studio, we have developed a method that blends science with spirituality, encouraging facilitators to cultivate their own authentic style appropriate for their audience.
We have deep experience and training in the use of breath holds and place a lot of trust in the power of a well-timed pause within conscious connected breathing. As hands-on stretch therapists, it was natural for us to integrate movement and bodywork into breath facilitation, and the results have been extraordinary. The physical release and breath expansion we witness using these techniques are unparalleled. Led by husband-and-wife duo Cian and Carolyn, our training offers a unique balance of masculine and feminine energies, shaped by our shared experiences in various breathwork modalities. Teaching from our own studio of over six years, we create a home-like, safe environment where students can drop in, be themselves, and grow into their most aligned version of a breathwork facilitator. Authenticity is at the heart of what we do, and we guide others to step into this work in a way that feels true to them.
