SHIFT Breathwork: Foundations Training

Service Description

SHIFT Breathwork Foundations Training Live via Zoom | Recordings Available | 15 Hours Total Dates: January 24th & 25th Time: 9:00am – 3:00pm PST Breathwork is one of the most powerful practices for transformation—but with that power comes responsibility. Safe facilitation requires more than learning breath patterns or physiology; it means holding space with awareness of the nervous system, trauma, and integration, because what happens before and after a session is just as impactful as the breathwork itself. Whether you’re beginning your journey toward facilitation, integrating nervous system and trauma-awareness with pranayama techniques into your current work, or deepening your personal practice, the Foundations Training gives you the science, tools, and embodied experience to build a strong base. This training expands your capacity to support yourself and complement the work you already do. To guide full breathwork journeys, you’ll continue on to the SHIFT Advanced Training. Over two immersive days, here is what you’ll explore: -The science and anatomy of breath—how it impacts physical, emotional, and mental health -The nervous system and how breathwork supports regulation, release, and healing -A library of pranayama techniques and breath patterns for activation and calming -Two guided breathwork journeys for your own healing and integration -How to theme, pace, and adapt supportive breath practices -Essentials of safe, trauma-aware facilitation -Real-time integration practices to embody your learning Structure -12 hours of live Zoom training over two days -3 hours of self-guided assignments and reflection -Recordings provided for review and integration Path to Certification The Foundations Training is your entry point. It provides the knowledge and embodied experience needed for facilitation training but does not certify you to lead full breathwork journeys. To become a certified SHIFT Breathwork Facilitator, you’ll continue into SHIFT Advanced, a hybrid program beginning in February 2026 with online study, an in-person practicum (Lower Mainland), mentorship, and supervised practice. Together, the Foundations and Advanced programs offer 150+ hours of training, followed by 6+ months of supervised practice and ongoing support—so you graduate not only knowledgeable, but fully prepared to hold breathwork safely and powerfully.
