Fill out the form below to get more information about our 12-week online certification to learn the science & philosophy behind the breath.
The Academy of Breath is the original breathwork and meditation certification for purpose-driven individuals who know they are here to change the lives of humans across the globe. We are paving the path in the breath space by bridging the gap between science and spirituality and setting the standard for breath facilitation, nervous system optimization and integrity in the healing space.
It is about more than just relieving stress and anxiety. Even though our society is experiencing more stress, distractions, and distance from our divine connection than ever, the tools you will learn in The Academy of Breath will show you how to walk through life with purpose and passion while creating a greater connection to yourself and those around you.
Students will learn both calming and energizing yogic pranayama techniques, mindfulness meditation, guided visualization meditation, mantra meditation, and the craft of sequencing to boost your confidence in teaching and bringing these healing modalities to the world.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Gain confidence in your voice as a facilitator while guiding your students and clients through various breathwork & meditation techniques.
Learn both the science and spiritual lineage behind these ancient tools so students and clients understand the impact they are making on the mind, body and soul.
Deepen your core offering as a healer, teacher or coach by including breathwork and meditation healing sessions for your clients and students.
Build integrity as a leader, create safe containers for healing, and speak to various experiences your students may have practicing breathwork and meditation.
6 weeks of pre-recorded teaching sessions, where you'll learn the science + spirituality behind practicing, teaching, and facilitating breathwork and meditation.
Receive meditation and breathwork scripts and sequencing + learn the formula of constructing your own meditation scripts.
Get lifetime access to 15+ hours of bonus modules on breathwork and meditation, building your wellness business, and a network of teachers across the globe.
Upon completion, you will be certified to teach meditation and breathwork. You will have access to quarterly alumni calls to receive lifetime support.
Nothing is off the table in these sessions, come as you are, receive the support you desire, and go deep with our global community in ways other communities just simply don’t offer.
We know through science & research that everyday breathwork creates long lasting transformation whereas other more intense techniques don’t meet the mark in mental, emotional, and physical healing and transformation.
Backed by science, you will learn 12 calming and energizing practices that can be layered together for short and long Breath Journey’s in one-on-one and group settings, both online and in-person.
We get that life happens while you take this transformational journey with us. After your 12 weeks of self study have completed, you will have 12 bonus weeks of live coaching with our founder, Ava, to continue getting support as you start implementing and bringing these practices to your community.
