The training will continue with online sessions for a further 4 months with mentorship, group meetings and Q&A’s. During this time you are required to complete a minimum of 50 practice sessions of individual and group sessions. To obtain certification, all in-person modules, practice sessions and online hours must be attended. Final assessment will be based upon full attendance, practice session feedback and self development.

We welcome a maximum of 12 participants to this immersive Evolve Breath & Body Therapeutic Breathwork Facilitator training in Arambol, Goa. This training is open to individuals who can commit to the entire facilitator training, who have the emotional stability and maturity to enter a training which can bring strong emotions and transformation. This training is limited to a small group to create a safe container and support system.

The training combines Breathwork, Movement and Embodiment practices, Self Inquiry, and Meditation to allow you to do the deep inner work with yourself first, and then learn how share it with others.

This training is focused on cultivating heart centred presence, safety, clear communication, and the skills to guide and support the deep physical and emotional release which can occur in a therapeutic breathwork session, as well as the ongoing process of transformation which your clients may be experiencing.

The training is trauma informed and will show you how to support trauma release and integration, as well as how to work with an individual who is experiencing unprocessed trauma. You will also learn how to support individual nervous systems and resilience levels.

We ask that you are able to commit to the full training program and have a video intake call with Natalie before you are accepted on to the training.

The in-person training will happen over a 1 month period, and will be continued online for a further 4 months.

This training is designed to support you to become a confident and fully competent, compassionate breathwork facilitator. By the end of the training you will be able to support individual in-person breathwork sessions and in-person group sessions with a trauma informed approach.

Module 1

We can only support our clients into the depths which we, ourselves have experienced.

Module 1 is all about YOU! We focus on your self development through breathwork, meditation, radical self honesty, feeling, identifying, communication and self inquiry. We look at the thought and behavioural patterns we have built up over the years, as well as coping mechanisms, protection strategies and the way we interact with others. As we begin to make internal space through shifting the long held tension in our own bodies, we become more present, embodied, grounded and more comfortable with stillness. We learn self reflection and how to listen to the language of our bodies. We connect with intuition and creativity. As you learn to hold space for yourself, you learn to hold the sacred space for others.

We also focus on collective care. The power of being in a group can not be underestimated. We learn how to actively listen and support our fellow participants in the way we, ourselves would like to be supported. We look at boundaries, consent, regulation and resource.

Module 2

Alongside the experiential work of breathwork, meditation, and inquiry, we learn the fundamentals of being in service and supporting others.

We learn about trauma, how it can show up in a session, and how it can be supported. We learn about energetic hygiene, self care as a facilitator, posture and positioning, ethics and contraindications.

We explore various forms of touch and bodywork. What to say and how to listen. Appropriate interventions. Empathy, resonance, pendulation, titration and integration.

Integration of spiritual experiences, expanded states of awareness and the healing crisis.

Alternative breathwork techniques to support the individuals nervous system.

Module 3

Continuing to work with 1:1 sessions, we will also start to introduce breathing together with a partner and group work - supporting a circle. Sacred ceremony, opening and closing the container. You will have the opportunity to assist in supporting the group. Start to find your uniqueness as a space holder - who am I? What do I stand for? Passion? Skills? You will start to refine and develop your own unique way of sharing breathwork.

Module 4

Alongside our breathwork, meditation and self inquiry explorations, we enter into the group facilitation module of the training. Each participant creates and facilitates a group session, whilst others assist. Each student facilitator will receive feedback from the group.

Closing of live group work with fire and sweat lodge.

Ongoing Online Support until May 2024

Throughout the training you will be working with your own clients in practice sessions and keeping a record of your own experiences as a facilitator, as well as the experiences of the client. We will meet online each month after the training to discuss any questions you may have, discoveries, insights, progress and uncertainties.

We will meet in individual mentor sessions as well as group Q&A’s.

There will be several online meetings to cover topics such as anatomy of breath, working with trauma etc.

Together we co-create this group with a warm welcome to your individual life journey which led you to this point, and all that you bring to the group dynamic. Online calls will be organised to suit participants schedules as much as possible. Those who can not attend the online meetings will receive a recording or a personal recap call with Natalie.
