Australia (and the world for that matter) not only needs better breathwork instructors but it needs more of them. As society moves deeper into the digital age, people are becoming more “disconnected” from real life, mother nature, and themselves.
This separation is causing havoc in their own health and happiness, fear, stress, anxiety, self-doubt, and poor health are all becoming the new normal. And most of these issues have one central cause – bad breathing habits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Getting a clear understanding of your goals and helping you map out your vision and direction moving forward are a big part of the breathwork teacher training. Our breathwork facilitator course is designed so that you can begin teaching breathwork, running workshops, and producing content as soon as you qualify.
Breathwork instructor certification will be granted upon completion of the training, including support with setting up insurance, liability, and indemnity. However, as part of the training, you will already be working with friends and family and the public at large as soon as you are ready.
Johannes: For everyone who trains as a Breathless breathwork instructor, your success is mine, and I will do my best to work with you to get you setup and teaching breathwork within your first few months of qualifying. This will include framing your unique position in the market, step-by-step processes on perfecting your offerings and helping assisting myself and other instructors in live workshops to build your confidence.
Finding the right breathwork instructor training for you is far more than a list of what you’ll get.
Is this a movement you want to be part of? Do you like the culture? Do the values resonate with you? Are these the sort of people you want to hang out with and learn with and from? Do you want to work alongside and be affiliated with this group or do you just want a fancy title? If something doesn’t feel right, then it probably isn’t.
But if the message, mission and values speak to you, then you will move mountains to become part of that tribe.
As part of the Breathless family, you will be a student of life, for life. Surrounding yourself with a tribe of likeminded individuals committed to growth and bringing this method to the world is as empowering as it is worthwhile.
This is not just another personal development seminar or self-help course that promises the goods just as soon as you buy ‘the next course’. Our breathwork facilitator training is of the highest standard, with the promise not only will this be the last breathwork instructor course you’ll ever need to take but also that you will be part of a movement and a tribe who share your goals, aspirations and determination to help people learn to help themselves.
Johannes: I obtained 10 breathwork certificates before starting Breathless. Travelling the world on a shoestring, always looking to get myself in the right room, at the right time, asking the right question, I learned more about the art and science of breathing and myself then I imagined was possible but what I really took away was the importance of culture and community.
The idea that certain methods or individuals are holding onto the key, the secret or the undivulged wisdom is outdated. We’re all looking at the same research papers, distilling the same principles into practices and drawing from the greats that have come before us.
What matters most is the people, the community and the connections.
At Breathless, we offer all that and world class breathwork instructor training.
A breathwork instructor is committed to sharing and developing the world of breathing exercises. Past students guide breathwork sessions for groups in the form of workshops, teaching in the workplace and schools, coaching sports teams and yoga practitioners and working with the general public. Other breathwork instructors incorporate breathing practices into their existing work as coaches, naturopaths, health practitioners and counsellors.
For some, becoming a breathwork instructor simply means a lifelong commitment to breathing the best they can.
For others, it’s about helping their families and loved ones make the most of every breath.
The 3 month breathwork instructor training program is broken down into three phases.
Upon signing up, you will create your profile and gain access to our training platform. There you’ll find study materials, including the instructor manual, our extensive resource library, guided breathing practices and so much more.
Phase 1 consists of 10 hours of pre-recorded lectures. These are to be viewed in your own time during the course.
Phase 2 brings us together for a 5 day immersion in person training. This unique retreat brings together the practice and theory through intensive workshops, stimulating discussions and adventures in nature as you connect further with yourself and your new tribe.
Phase 3 is where you apply everything you’ve learned through our 28 day Boundless Breathwork program. You’ll receive daily recorded breathing sessions, keep a breathwork journal and join the weekly calls or view recordings if you can’t make a session. You’ll also have a mentoring session to start mapping out your pathway as a breathwork instructor.
Sign up to one of the upcoming Breathwork Instructor Trainings through the booking platform. These are listed by the dates for the 5-day immersion, but as soon as you book in you’ll receive full access to the portal, books and practices. Create your profile on the Breathless.com.au learning portal and you’re all set.
In commitment to our long term vision, we’ve built the most comprehensive learning platform in the breathwork movement to date. Inside our rapidly growing resource library, there are lectures, guided breathwork sessions and online seminars to which you will have unlimited access as a Breathless breathwork instructor.
However, we are not here to push you into anything for which you are not ready for. The 10 hours of self study materials, which are prerequisite to breathwork certification, have been adapted to suit all learning styles. Complex lectures have also been recorded in conversational podcasts to suit those with limited time and busy lifestyles. The learning platform is designed to be highly practical and compelling so as to aid in your own transformation, build your confidence and enhance your competence to become the best breathwork instructor you can be.
We want this training to be accessible to anyone who feels drawn to this work which is why we offer our breathwork instructor training.
The growth of our community, the chance to help people transform their lives and opportunity to inspire excellence in this industry is way above any financial gain.
Whilst we provide the highest possible standard of training to all levels of breathwork facilitators, we are not interested in running an elite club. We’re in this for the long run.
Some instructors will go on to run a wildly successful breathwork businesses, others will simply reap the rewards of being part of a positive movement that supports all areas of life.
We believe is that any professional not teaching breath right now is missing out on having impact, purpose and profit. Those purporting to be breathwork instructors with little or no training are causing damage to the viability of this work.
What we need is a higher standard and those willing to invest in themselves will lead the way.
We will provide intricate guidelines on pricing and establishing the value of your work as well as business coaching, marketing advice and more.
Put simply, you can expect to earn your investment back within the first 2 months of teaching.
Johannes: I built a 6 figure business from scratch in my first year of teaching. I then
invested every single dollar straight back into my learning and development as a breathing instructor, and to this day, I still do. I am committed to your success as much as you are. For me, money has never been the driving factor behind my teaching. It became simply a by-product of building the lifestyle, tribe and purpose of my dreams.
10% of all our profits are donated towards the conservation of the Great Barrier Reef and the Amazon Rainforest. This means that you’re helping support two of nature’s greatest oxygen providers and protecting these wonders for future generations as well as equipping yourself to do transformational work in others’ lives.
The field of breathwork is one of the most rapidly expanding lifestyle practices today.
With the mindfulness, yoga and meditation movements already established, breath is the new movement and it is here to stay.
More and more people are waking up to the idea that conscious breathing is one of the most powerful remedies to our modern human condition.
We are at a unique point in time where science has finally caught up with spirituality.
This is an opportunity for breathwork instructors to connect the fields of ancient wisdom with modern applications and help people optimise every breath they take, take responsibility for their own personal healing, expand their consciousness and become more grounded, centred human beings.
