With structure, mentorship, and GPBA-recognized certification, this training equips you to confidently guide safe, life-changing breathwork sessions — in both individual and group settings.

But when it comes to holding space, important questions begin to surface:

  • Am I equipped to handle emotional releases safely?

  • How do I protect my own energy while facilitating?

  • What’s the ethical and trauma-informed way to guide a group or individual?

  • Where do I go for a recognized certification that will stand up in the professional world?

  • How can I create transformative experiences without overwhelming my participants — or myself?

 

Step into your role as a GPBA-recognized breathwork facilitator — enrollment is open now.

In-person GPBA-recognized breathwork facilitator training circle led by Ashley Ludman, with participants in a supportive group setting.
