The Importance of Continuing Education for Breathwork Facilitators
If I'm honest, when I first finished my yoga teacher training, I felt a bit disillusioned. I expected to emerge knowing everything there was to know about yoga. It took me a while to realise that the training was just a foundation, a starting point. The real learning came from practice, from exploring different styles, and discovering the areas I was truly passionate about – like yin and restorative yoga.
And it's the same with breathwork. The initial training provides you with essential tools and knowledge, but the journey of learning and growth doesn't end there. The world of breathwork is constantly evolving. New research emerges, fresh techniques are developed, and the understanding of the mind-body connection deepens. To truly serve your clients and continue growing as a facilitator, continued education isn't just a good idea - it's essential.

By focusing on a particular area of expertise, you can not only deepen your impact but also attract clients who are specifically seeking your unique skills and knowledge.
We Have the Power to Change Our Narrative.
My reason for training as a facilitator goes right back to birth. I was born blue and not breathing. I was taken away by doctors for around 10 minutes. My mum was delirious and unsure what they did, but on returning I was able to take my first breath and the blue colour faded.
During my childhood and for the first 14 years of my life I had serious breathing issues. I couldn’t breathe through my nose at all. I was asthmatic and needed an inhaler. I suffered from severe snoring and sleep apnea. I would breathe loudly and was teased about it relentlessly at school.

The Start of My Breathwork Journey
My journey into breathwork began with two pivotal experiences that drew my attention to the importance of proper breathing techniques. In 2022, I participated in a local community theatre show. The musical director noticed I had shallow breathing patterns, which was hindering my vocal projection, so I tried just simple breathing deeper on my own. Six months later, I decided to try Reiki for the first time. Interestingly, the Reiki teacher also pointed out my shallow breathing and emphasized the benefits of deeper breathing techniques for both physical and emotional health.
Where to Start with Breathwork
Breathwork seems to be everywhere lately, doesn't it? From social media posts to wellness retreats, everyone seems to be talking about its power to transform lives. But if you're new to this whole thing, you might be feeling a bit overwhelmed. Where do you even start?
We get it. It's natural to feel a little hesitant when stepping into something new, especially when it involves something as fundamental as your breath. It’s also easy to be skeptical. But here's the good news: breathwork is for everyone, and it's much simpler than you might think.
I Knew at That Moment I Was Meant to Teach This.
What brought me here? I feel this can be such a loaded question…Where do I start.
Well to really tell why I am here, I need to give you some back story to my life. In a nutshell, how I found breathwork was by having a lot of events happen in my life, that I didn’t know how to deal with.
This all came to a head about 5 years ago, when I started going though a divorce from the father of my children.
Choosing the Best Online Breathwork Course
Breathwork's popularity has skyrocketed in recent years, and it seems like everyone's offering an online course these days. While it's wonderful to see this ancient practice gaining recognition, the sheer number of options can be overwhelming. With so many courses vying for your attention, it can be hard to know where to start.
How do you choose a course that's right for you? One that aligns with your goals, learning style, and budget? One that's led by a qualified facilitator who understands the nuances of breathwork and can guide you safely on your journey?
