The world is Breathless - in the Worst of Ways
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.
Breathwork Facilitator Training and Certification
In today’s modern world, amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life, there is more need than ever to assist people to find a way to ground and center themselves.
Becoming a professional breathwork instructor can be one of the most rewarding experiences you’ll ever have in life. By teaching others how to use the power of their breath to transform their own health and happiness (and get paid for it) is a win-win for everyone.
The Breathless Instructor Training is the first Breathwork Teacher Training and Certification that holistically combines the full spectrum of breathing exercise, methods and philosophies. Our approach is proven by research, tested in every environment imaginable and reinforced through a community of skilled facilitators to help you succeed.

The #1 goal of this online program is to provide expertise in the art of breathing, the science behind breathwork and elite-performance practices.”
The pressure of modern life in the 21st century can consist of highly stressful environments, anxiety, depression and a lack of sleep.
Bodies, minds and nervous systems are out of balance, impacting people’s physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health.
Yet we all hold the magic key to changing this – breath awareness.
Our breath is the first to respond to any changes in our emotional or physical state. With breathwork mastery, we all have the ability to find balance and navigate the world with conscious connected breathing.
Becoming a breathwork practitioner can be one of your most rewarding personal or professional experiences. As we take a deep dive during our time together, you’ll discover how breathwork training can help, heal and transform individuals.

You’ll graduate being able to confidently and competently facilitate breathwork classes, workshops or retreats and hold space as a group facilitator. It is a professional path, that guarantees a world of opportunity when you become a breathwork group facilitator.
PHASE 1: BREATHWORK E-LEARNING (20 HOURS – START ANYTIME)
The first phase consists of over 20 hours of Breathwork e-Learning Material, where you’ll take a deep dive into the science, data and theory, and develop a personal practice with your breath. Through our user-friendly, online e-learning academy, you’ll discover the tools, techniques and revolutionary methods that contribute to becoming a skilled expert in breathwork.
This is the essential basecamp phase of the training where we equip you with the fundamental skills and knowledge underpinning the seven week online course.
PHASE 2: ONLINE PRACTITIONER TRAINING (7 WEEKS)
The second phase is where you’ll learn and experience the transformative power of your breath.
We will meet weekly on a Wednesday for 90 mins via zoom where you’ll step into your role as a Breathwork Instructor as you learn and practise a wide range of breathing techniques, methods and tools and experience your own breakthroughs.
We will also meet every Friday (optional) for 90 mins via zoom and be introduced to master instructors in the industry who share their gifts and strategies for successful business platforms. Each session will also allow time for Q&A’s.
At Breathless Expeditions, our philosophy rests on the idea that you can only guide people as far and as deep as you have explored yourself, which is why we take you on a journey of discovery with your own breath, followed by creating your own instructor style.
Prepare to be blown away by the power of your breath amidst like-minded people from the comfort of your own environment, whereever that may be in the world.
OUR MISSION FOR OUR BREATHWORK FACILITATOR TRAINING
At Breathless Expeditions, we are on a mission to help as many people as possible breathe better.
In order to do this, we have created our very own Breathwork Academy. By training highly motivated, forward thinking individuals to become exceptional breathwork facilitators, we can share the Breathless experience in a way that is powerful, progressive and personal.
We also donate 10% of all our profits 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 people to do transformational work in the lives of others.
WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOT THE BREATHLESS FACILITATOR TRAINING?
“I recently completed my instructor training in the snowy mountains with Johannes and team and wow, what an experience. I have learnt a wealth of knowledge about the breath and on top of that had many personal breakthroughs during and after the experience. As someone in the industry already the learning was invaluable and I have already started implementing my learning with clients. The whole process has been wonderful in terms of integration including a 4 week period of continued learning and support. Can’t wait to get back to the mountains to complete my master instructor course! Thankyou breathless.” – Carly Edwards
“It might be an over used term but this was truly life changing. The amount of time and effort Johannes has put into developing this course becomes very apparent before you even arrive and continues to show well after you leave. There’s so much information and detail involved and it’s delivered in a way that is very graspable, transparent, and demonstrated on the practical level. The balance between west and eastern science + philosophy and various breath practices was also structured in a way that encourages learning in a safe and supportive environment. The support team were equally amazing as was the venue, food, and overall experience. Recommend it to each and everyone whether you want to be an instructor or just have the experience itself :)” – Jacob McCue
“One of the most in depth, well researched and transformational trainings I’ve been too. Johannes and team have put together a course and an experience that is actually beyond expectations. I particularly loved the mix of science, practice, spirituality, mindset and LOVE that they brought to the table. And on top of that, you get to reclaim your natural way of breathing and change your life. What else can you ask for? Thank you Johannes and Breathless Expeditions.” Laura Gutierrez

FAQ
WHEN CAN I START FACILITATING BREATHWORK TRAINING?
Getting a clear understanding of your goals and helping you map out your vision and direction moving forward are a big part of the training. The course is designed so that you can begin teaching, running workshops and producing content as soon as you qualify. International 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. You will quickly expand your network of other breathwork practitioners who you could start training with before you receive an official diploma of breathwork and start working with your own clients. Johannes: “For everyone who trains as a Breathless instructor, your success is mine, and I will do my best to work with you to get you set up and teaching 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 breathwork practitioners in live workshops to build your confidence.”
WHY DO I NEED ANOTHER TRAINING OR CERTIFICATE?
Finding the right 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? Is a world of many courses does this offering meet you in your personal journey 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 like-minded 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 training is of the highest standard, with the promise not only will this be the last breathwork course you’ll ever need to take but also that you will be part of a movement and a tribe that 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 than I imagined was possible, but what I really took away was the importance of culture and community. The idea that specific methods or individuals hold 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 training. Breathless shapes the future of the Australian Breathwork industry.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A BREATHWORK TRAINER?
A Breathwork trainer 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 instructors incorporate breathing practices into their existing work as coaches, naturopaths, health practitioners and counsellors. For some, becoming an 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.
WHAT ARE THE TRAINING GUIDELINES?
The 3 month instructor training program is broken down into three phases. Upon signing up, you will create your profile and gain access to the Breathless Adacemy. There you’ll find study materials from Breathwork Master Trainer Johannes Egberts, an extensive resource library, guided breathing practices and so much more. Phase 1 consists of 20 hours of pre-recorded lectures. These are to be viewed in your own time during the course. Phase 2 is delivered virtually over a period of 7 weeks. This phase brings together the practice and theory through intensive workshops, stimulating discussions and virtual breathwork adventures as you connect further with yourself and your new tribe. Phase 3 is where you apply everything you’ve learned through our 28 day program.
HOW MUCH HOME STUDY IS THERE?
In commitment to our 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 breath work sessions and online seminars to which you will have unlimited access as a Breathless Trainer. However, we are not here to push you into anything for which you are not ready for. The 20 hours of e-learning materials, which are prerequisites to the international 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 to aid in your transformation, build your confidence, focus and enhance your competence to become the best facilitator you can be.
WHAT ABOUT THE FINANCIALS?
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 the 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 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.
HOW OFTEN DOES BREATHLESS EXPEDITIONS RUN BREATHWORK TRAININGS?
Breathless Expeditions is running multiple breathwork trainer training through the year. Have a look at the upcoming events on our website that will provide a full list of all available dates for you to become a breathwork mastery trainer.
WHY BREATHWORK?
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. There is so much demand to support our communities with trauma, managing emotions and heart intelligence. We are at a unique time when 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.

DISCLAIMER: Breathwork offers many potential benefits, but certain conditions may create risks for some individuals. It is essential to read all questions in Breathless Waiver above carefully before deciding if Breathwork is right for you, and let your health practitioner know about any concerns before participating.

A positive answer does not necessarily exclude you from participating but may require medical clearance first. So, carefully reviewing all questions in the waiver and indicating any relevant personal situations before engaging in Breathwork activities is essential.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A BREATHWORK TRAINER?
A Breathwork trainer 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 instructors incorporate breathing practices into their existing work as coaches, naturopaths, health practitioners and counsellors. For some, becoming an 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.
WHAT ARE THE TRAINING GUIDELINES?
The 3 month instructor training program is broken down into three phases. Upon signing up, you will create your profile and gain access to the Breathless Adacemy. There you’ll find study materials from Breathwork Master Trainer Johannes Egberts, an extensive resource library, guided breathing practices and so much more. Phase 1 consists of 20 hours of pre-recorded lectures. These are to be viewed in your own time during the course. Phase 2 is delivered virtually over a period of 7 weeks. This phase brings together the practice and theory through intensive workshops, stimulating discussions and virtual breathwork adventures as you connect further with yourself and your new tribe. Phase 3 is where you apply everything you’ve learned through our 28 day program.
HOW MUCH HOME STUDY IS THERE?
In commitment to our 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 breath work sessions and online seminars to which you will have unlimited access as a Breathless Trainer. However, we are not here to push you into anything for which you are not ready for. The 20 hours of e-learning materials, which are prerequisites to the international 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 to aid in your transformation, build your confidence, focus and enhance your competence to become the best facilitator you can be.
WHAT ABOUT THE FINANCIALS?
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 the 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 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.
HOW OFTEN DOES BREATHLESS EXPEDITIONS RUN BREATHWORK TRAININGS?
Breathless Expeditions is running multiple breathwork trainer training through the year. Have a look at the upcoming events on our website that will provide a full list of all available dates for you to become a breathwork mastery trainer.
WHY BREATHWORK?
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. There is so much demand to support our communities with trauma, managing emotions and heart intelligence. We are at a unique time when 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.
PLEASE READ THE DISCLAIMER AND REVIEW THE WAIVER
DISCLAIMER: Breathwork offers many potential benefits, but certain conditions may create risks for some individuals. It is essential to read all questions in Breathless Waiver above carefully before deciding if Breathwork is right for you, and let your health practitioner know about any concerns before participating. There are some contraindications including but not limited to pregnancy, glaucoma, high blood pressure not controlled with medication, cardiovascular disease, aneurysm in the brain or abdomen, uncontrolled thyroid conditions and diabetes, asthma (if you have an inhaler, bring it to the session), epilepsy, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia diagnosis or previous psychiatric hospitalisation within the last ten years; other medical or physical conditions that impair the ability to engage in intense physical/emotional release.
A positive answer does not necessarily exclude you from participating but may require medical clearance first. So, carefully reviewing all questions in the waiver and indicating any relevant personal situations before engaging in Breathwork activities is essential.

WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOT THE BREATHLESS FACILITATOR TRAINING?
“I recently completed my instructor training in the snowy mountains with Johannes and team and wow, what an experience. I have learnt a wealth of knowledge about the breath and on top of that had many personal breakthroughs during and after the experience. As someone in the industry already the learning was invaluable and I have already started implementing my learning with clients. The whole process has been wonderful in terms of integration including a 4 week period of continued learning and support. Can’t wait to get back to the mountains to complete my master instructor course! Thankyou breathless.” – Carly Edwards
“It might be an over used term but this was truly life changing. The amount of time and effort Johannes has put into developing this course becomes very apparent before you even arrive and continues to show well after you leave. There’s so much information and detail involved and it’s delivered in a way that is very graspable, transparent, and demonstrated on the practical level. The balance between west and eastern science + philosophy and various breath practices was also structured in a way that encourages learning in a safe and supportive environment. The support team were equally amazing as was the venue, food, and overall experience. Recommend it to each and everyone whether you want to be an instructor or just have the experience itself :)” – Jacob McCue
“One of the most in depth, well researched and transformational trainings I’ve been too. Johannes and team have put together a course and an experience that is actually beyond expectations. I particularly loved the mix of science, practice, spirituality, mindset and LOVE that they brought to the table. And on top of that, you get to reclaim your natural way of breathing and change your life. What else can you ask for? Thank you Johannes and Breathless Expeditions.” Laura Gutierrez

FAQ
WHEN CAN I START FACILITATING BREATHWORK TRAINING?
Getting a clear understanding of your goals and helping you map out your vision and direction moving forward are a big part of the training. The course is designed so that you can begin teaching, running workshops and producing content as soon as you qualify. International 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. You will quickly expand your network of other breathwork practitioners who you could start training with before you receive an official diploma of breathwork and start working with your own clients. Johannes: “For everyone who trains as a Breathless instructor, your success is mine, and I will do my best to work with you to get you set up and teaching 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 breathwork practitioners in live workshops to build your confidence.”
WHY DO I NEED ANOTHER TRAINING OR CERTIFICATE?
Finding the right 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? Is a world of many courses does this offering meet you in your personal journey 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 like-minded 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 training is of the highest standard, with the promise not only will this be the last breathwork course you’ll ever need to take but also that you will be part of a movement and a tribe that 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 than I imagined was possible, but what I really took away was the importance of culture and community. The idea that specific methods or individuals hold 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 training. Breathless shapes the future of the Australian Breathwork industry.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A BREATHWORK TRAINER?
A Breathwork trainer 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 instructors incorporate breathing practices into their existing work as coaches, naturopaths, health practitioners and counsellors. For some, becoming an 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 second phase is an all-inclusive 4-day immersive training retreat where you’ll learn and experience the transformative power of your breath.
The beautiful Snowy Mountains provides the most luscious scenery out in nature and is the perfect place for really getting to know yourself and your breath.
You’ll step into your role as a Breathwork Instructor as you learn and practise a wide range of breathing techniques, methods and tools and experience your own breakthroughs.
You’ll also meet and bond with your tribe for life; people from all different walks of life who are as passionate about breathing well and living well as you are.
At Breathless Expeditions, our philosophy rests on the idea that you can only guide people as far and as deep as you have explored yourself, which is why we take you on a journey of discovery with your own breath, followed by creating your own instructor style.

The final phase consists of a 28 day follow up program. The purpose of this program is to offer you the full support, guidance, and mentoring you’ll need to integrate your experiences of Phase 2 and propel your breathwork teaching skills and abilities out into the world.
Over the period of 4 weeks, you’ll meet weekly with your tribe to practise your skills, discuss research findings and share your experiences. You’ll continue to breathe together and grow together!
You’ll also participate in group mentoring and 1:1 coaching sessions with Master Instructors to ensure you stay on the right path to success.
What happens after certification?
Upon completion of the three phases you’ll be fully certified and ready to start teaching. Our instructors have taken breathwork into the educational system, from primary school to high school programs and university lectures.
The training is created with a strong focus on application in the real word. Breathless is being taught to defence, first responders and cares. Whether you want to run workshops, teach one on one sessions or bring the breath to organizations, you’ll be ready to make a change.
For those that want to pursue mastery of breath and facilitation, we have created the 400Hr Master Instructor Pathway as ongoing learning. These trainings run two times yearly.
What's Covered in the Training
There is a common belief that modern lifestyle plays a large role in the often dysfunctional breathing patterns found along individuals today. We will get down to the heart of the matter and explain in detail how lifestyle factors, epigenetics and neuroplasticity, but also trauma and stress impact the quality of our breathing, and more importantly, how to take matters into your own hands.
This includes a breakdown of the respiratory, nervous, endocrine and immune systems and how a well structured breathing practice serves to become the bridge between not only bodily systems and their strive towards homeostasis, balance, but also the apparent disconnect we witness all around us today. In this class, we’ll look deeper into breathing patterns and how the power of the breath can change an individual’s state. We’ll study the breathing of our ancestors, how modern society has developed “Modern-breathing” patterns and much more.
Become well-versed in the physiology of stress and how understanding a variety of breathing techniques can help you and your clients tap into a higher state of consciousness that alleviates stress and anxiety, transforms your mindset and increases productivity and creativity. You will also learn a series of techniques and approaches for diagnosing, identifying and recognizing breathing habits and patterns.
Learn to restore the natural flow of breath, by harnessing the principles of neuroplasticity, and marrying what we call the three domains of breath, Chemistry, Capacity & Cadence.
After equipping ourselves with the basics of respiratory techniques, in this class, we’ll look deeper into breathing patterns and how the power of the breath can change an individual’s state, release tension and cause lasting change.
Harness your newfound mastery of breathing chemistry, how and when to apply it and become
an alchemist for deliberate change in the quest for getting the most out of every breath. Gain insight into the biomechanical or physical aspects of breathing and explore how to reach “The perfect breath” by retraining ourselves to breathe diaphragmatically through different positions, how breathwork can release tension in the muscles and conduct breath assessments.
From why we should always try to breathe through our nose to the diaphragm (perhaps the most important yet overlooked muscle within the human body), you’ll leave knowing how to breathe your best.
After establishing the basics of respiration, we’ll look at the physiology of stress and how breathing techniques used by freedivers and yogis alike can help you to handle stress more effectively and become a more well adapted, highly functioning human being as a result.
As much as the protocols may seem different, the principles from the first recorded yogic texts on breathing to eccentric Russian doctors’ dogmatic approaches and leading sports physiologists all agree on one thing. The key lies in breathing less.
Learn to tap into secret sources of insight and clarity hidden in the untapped chambers of your ribcage and you expand your lung capacity, whilst refining the dance between Oxygen & Carbon dioxide. Learn how to apply breathwork to sports and athleticism, the boardroom and artistic endeavours.
We apply methods that allow science and spirituality to walk hand in hand towards the goals of personal healing, expanding consciousness, tapping into flow states on demand and eradicating held tension from the body.
Gain deeper insight on how to integrate, periodize and recover from deep breathing sessions. Explore important topics such as set & setting, safety and the essential components that lay the foundation for a deeply healing experience of emotional release.
Breathwork is an immensely powerful therapeutic modality. Learn how to stay centred and grounded as you explore what it means to support others through their own trauma release and transformation.
Concentrating on the neurobiology and psychology of breathing, we’ll look at how stress and changes in our environment can affect our homeostasis and how our breath becomes an essential moderator in our conscious and unconscious reactions.
Explore why the heart might hold the answer to unlocking our potential on this planet as we delve into models of therapy and schools of thought.
From the vagus nerve and polyvagal theory to heart rate variability and loads of other cool science stuff, we’ll explore how the nervous system impacts on our immune system and how regulating and restoring our breath to its natural state can help with everything from stress to asthma, eczema, autoimmune conditions and restoring harmony in our bodies.
In this class, we’ll explore how integrating breathing can act as a powerful, safe and natural self-healing process that can soothe and re-regulate the nervous system and body for greater mental, physical and emotional health.
You’ll learn how expanding the quality and quantity of breath can help clients alleviate everything mental distress, overcome physical pain, increase energy levels and transform your client’s overall wellbeing through conscious breathing.
Discover how you can connect your breathing practices to your body’s unique rhythms, but also to the rhythms of nature, the seasons and life as we explore what it means to build a long-term breathwork practice for yourself those you guide.
We’ll also delve deep into active recovery protocols, the exciting possibilities of combining breathing techniques with psychedelics, Nootropics and other modalities for creating altered states such as light and music.

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.

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.

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.

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.
