This all comes down to insurance, and each country has different insurance policies. Breathwork, as a modality, is not as regulated as other modalities, such as yoga. However, upon successful completion of our 25-Hour Breath Coach Course you will receive a certificate that indicates that you are able to teach the breath practices that we have taught you during the course. You are able to teach both individuals and groups.

If you already have a 200-hour teacher training with Yoga Alliance then you can add this 25-Hour Breath Coach Training to your YASEP (Yoga Alliance Continuing Education) credentials. If you are not a yoga teacher, don't worry, this doesn't apply to and you will still leave with the same qualification.

As with any modality you may need additional insurance or qualifications in order to work within a school setting or with children. We recommend that you contact your local/a national insurance provider for more details.

All the lectures and practices are given via pre-recorded videos which you can work through at your own pace. During the first 3 weeks of the course there will be a BONUS weekly live group Q&A via zoom with Rachel and/or Lucy. We recommend that you try to attend these live Q&As however they are not compulsory, and do not count towards your 25-hours.

All the group Q&A's will be recorded and saved in the exclusive course Facebook group for you to catch up on or rewatch in your own time.

If you know you can’t make a live Q&A session but you have a question that you’d like to be answered, you can post it in the Facebook group and we will answer it during the call. You can then watch the recording of the call in your own time.

We try to schedule the live calls to suit as many time zones as possible. 

Yes, some of the practices incorporate movement, but not all.

We explain why movement is important for the breath, and when you or your clients may need to incorporate movement into their practice.

Yes! You’ll learn a number of breathing exercises that are suitable for children. We will indicate during the course if a breathing exercise is not suitable for kids. Please be aware that depending on the country that you’ll be teaching in, you may have to arrange additional insurance and qualifications in order to work with kids or in a school environment. 

We recommend that you speak to your insurance provider for more details.

Yes, although some exercises may not be accessible to very young children. You’ll be taught a variety of breathing exercises that are suitable for all age groups. If we guide you through a breathing exercise that’s not suitable for children or the older community then we make this clear during the course.

We also offer tips and insight on how to conduct a class for both groups and individuals during the course.

No experience is required. We will guide you through the fundamentals of breathwork and give you a comprehensive understanding of the physiology and energetics of each practice.

In our training we teach you over 20 different breath practices so that you can choose which breath practice is best for your client or group. Each one has different purposes and can be adapted according to your client's unique mix of experience and goals. This, coupled with the trauma aware facilitator aspect of the training means you are aware of how to create safe, accessible and impactful experiences for your client/ group.

Typically, breathwork facilitation trainings train you to facilitate big cathartic breath practices in which students need more in-depth monitored experience before they can practice due to the cathartic nature of the practice.

Rachel and I have seen how cathartic practices can be very healing, but we are also very aware that they can be too much too soon for many students (or worse, re-traumatising) if they're not taught in a very considerate and careful way. The practices we teach are both impactful and accessible, meaning they're safer for a broader spectrum of people to use, including children. This also means the training is shorter as you're able to teach much sooner than you would with the big cathartic practices.

The exam consists of the following:

- You are asked to log and submit (via Toggl) the time you spend on your self practice
- Completing an online multiple choice quiz
- You must submit a video of you explaining the benefits of breathwork
- You must submit a video of you teaching a specific breathing exercise to someone else, in-person or via zoom

Don't worry, we will guide you every step of the way and this will come very naturally by the end of the course.

If you are a 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training and your initial yoga qualification is registered with Yoga Alliance, then this 25-Hour Breath Coach Course can contribute to your YASEP (Yoga Alliance Continuing Education). In order to add this training to your YASEP credentials you must log in to your Yoga Alliance account via their website and follow the steps in the YASEP section.

As soon as the course starts you will have access to our exclusive course Facebook Group where Lucy and Rachel will be present and actively answering your questions during the first 3 weeks of the course. In addition, Lucy and/or Rachel will host a weekly live group Q&A call via zoom during the first 3 weeks. 

If you have a private question that you would rather share via email, then you can email Rachel and Lucy at [email protected]

Yes you can. You will be told if you need to modify any breathing exercises or movement if you, or your client, are pregnant.

There is no required reading for this course, although there will be some suggested reading material shared during or after the course.

If you want to dive in we recommend you read 'Breath' by James Nestor.
