ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Why learn this?
Respiratory sciences, meditation and pranayama are allies in our collective mental wellness and are being integrated into many workplaces beyond yoga studios. Integrating tools skillfully will help your offerings as a coach, parent, guide, mentor, teacher, dula/midwife, therapist, and bodyworker. Breath is one of the most accessible tools regardless of age, fitness, and persons with disabilities; foundational for nervous system self-regulation, sleep and overall wellness. Yet many don’t know how due to trauma, illness, or culture. This requires an embodiment of the practices (self-study) and a strong foundation of science to be a skilful guide. What NOT to do is as important as teaching what to do.
This training is a continuing education course (recognised by the Yoga Alliance) in pranayama, meditation, and current neuroscience research.
All are welcome. You don’t need to be a teacher.
Please take a look below at the pre-reqs. Class is uploaded daily to access at a do-at-your-own-pace and available for up to six months post-training.
