Come on a Transformational Journey with Us
Our Breathwork Training is designed to honor the uniqueness of each individual—how you breathe, how you learn, and what you seek to cultivate through this practice.
Where many programs focus quickly on sales tactics, we believe breathwork must first be embodied as a lived practice before becoming something you share with others. Some trainings lean exclusively on science, others solely on ceremony; some avoid hands-on support altogether. Our approach bridges these gaps.
With years of experience facilitating thousands of breathers in our studio, we’ve developed a method that blends science and spirituality, encouraging each facilitator to develop an authentic style that feels true and appropriate for their audience.
What Makes Our Approach Different
-
Breath Holds & The Pause
We place an emphasis on the power of a well-timed pause within conscious connected breathing—a simple but profound tool for integration and transformation.
-
Movement & Bodywork Integration
As stretch therapists, we naturally weave bodywork and movement into breath facilitation. The physical release and breath expansion that emerge through this integration are extraordinary.
-
Balanced Energy & Leadership
Led by husband-and-wife duo Cian and Carolyn, our training carries a balance of masculine and feminine energies, rooted in years of shared study and facilitation across multiple breathwork modalities.
-
A Home for Learning
Teaching from our Vancouver studio of over 8 years, we’ve created a safe, home-like environment where students can fully drop in, feel supported, and grow into aligned, confident facilitators.
At the heart of this work is authenticity. We don’t train people to copy a method—we guide you to embody breathwork in a way that feels deeply true to who you are, and how you wish to serve.
