By the end of this training
You will step forward from this training as a transformed version of yourself. Not only carrying the knowledge and skills to guide breathwork safely and responsibly, but embodying the personal growth that comes from walking the path yourself.
Along the way, you won’t just learn to hold space, you will also be held. Through guided sessions, you’ll meet and integrate your own life themes in a safe and supportive environment. This lived experience is what gives your facilitation its authenticity and power.
On a practical level, you’ll learn how to create and sustain expanded states of consciousness, in yourself and in others, opening pathways to healing, insight, and higher awareness. With these tools, you’ll be able to accompany people on their journeys of transformation and help them realise more of their potential.
And most importantly: our graduates don’t just leave with skills. They leave with confidence and clarity, ready to step into the world with their work, guiding sessions, engaging clients, and bringing breathwork into coaching, yoga, retreats, and beyond.
The art of breath
We could teach you a handful of breathwork techniques over a long weekend, but true facilitation goes deeper. The real work is becoming a genuine channel for transformation: guiding people with empathy, steadiness, and clarity in their most vulnerable moments.
Embodiment takes time and space. That’s why the heart of this training is a 14-day on-site training. From the very beginning, you’ll hold space for fellow participants, receive direct mentorship from Daniel, and experience how theory and practice merge seamlessly.
Testimonials
Daniel is a wonderful teacher with a wealth of experience
"What I appreciate most is his approach, which also has spiritual roots, and how openly, kindly, and humanly he shares his knowledge and experience. Personally, I always felt very comfortable and safe with him. I now feel confident and joyful about stepping into a profession that is opening up for me through this path. There were so many different elements: practices outside in nature, group tasks, and a wide range of activities woven throughout. It never got repetitive, and I was able to learn on many different levels."
Profound work that I wholeheartedly recommend to everyone
"I am deeply, deeply grateful that this training somehow found me. To have Daniel as a teacher has been an incredible gift, because he is simply such a unique and special human being, a truly wonderful soul. During the breathwork sessions I was able to experience myself, and also the ones I was able to facilitate, were incredible growth for me. From the very beginning, we were such a harmonious and wonderful group. We grew together like a family, and honestly, none of us wanted the training to end. Such beautiful and deep work, which I can wholeheartedly recommend to everyone, and which I also feel called to pass on to others."
Captivating and authentic
"In school I always struggled to listen for long periods of time, but here, it was completely different. The way Daniel structured the training was captivating. Normally, I would lose focus quickly, but this time I often caught myself thinking: ‘Give us more, more input!’ Because he delivers everything with such authenticity."
The training was a deeply transformative event
"We worked so much on ourselves through the incredible breath processes we shared and that he held for us. What I especially loved was the group dynamic that unfolded after just a few days of being and breathing together. We became so close because we met each other in our deepest wounds, wishes, and hopes. And I believe that’s what made this work and this training so valuable for me: that I was able to meet myself in this depth and vulnerability, and that I learned how to be with others in the same way, embodying the gift of acceptance.”

Venue Impressions
Why now is the perfect time!
If you’ve read this far, chances are you already feel the quiet pull of breathwork. You sense its power, not only to transform your own life, but to profoundly impact the lives of others. Right now, breathwork is experiencing a breakthrough. It’s being recognised across the world as a powerful practice for transformation, health, and well-being.
This is a special moment to step in. Demand is growing, yet there are still relatively few trained, trauma-sensitive facilitators. That means there are already people waiting to be guided by you.
By choosing to train now, you position yourself at the forefront of this movement. You won’t just join the wave, you’ll become a pioneer and a leader in it, someone seen as an authority in a rising field.
Let’s connect
This is where your journey begins, and we are here to walk it with you. It’s important to us to personally get to know every potential participant, so we can ensure this training is the right fit for you and for the group.
At the same time, this first call is our gift to you. With no obligations, it’s an opportunity to pause, reflect on where you are in life, and explore, with one of our experienced team members, if and how this training might support your path.
It’s a gentle first step toward a shared future. Take the leap, and let’s embark on this adventure of breathwork together. We can’t wait to meet you.
Giving Back to Nature
From our first inhale to our last, breath connects us with the living world of plants. Every exhale we release, they receive. Every inhale we take, they return.
To honour this symbiotic relationship, a portion of the training’s proceeds supports global reforestation projects, giving back to the very trees that sustain our breath.
