You’re not here to read a long story; you’re here because you want to feel more connected to your body and less overwhelmed in your day-to-day life.
This is how we work inside The Body of Breath – and how many begin exploring how to become a breathwork coach in a way that’s grounded and sustainable.
How to Become a Breathwork Facilitator
A More Grounded Approach to Breathwork
we prioritize safety, awareness, and integration over intensity. This isn’t about chasing experiences—it’s about building something that lasts. I care about this because I’ve seen how powerful it is when people learn to listen to their body and trust their own process—especially those navigating how to become a breathwork coach or deepen their role as a practitioner.
I’m Ashley Ludman, and I’m the founder of The Body of Breath - a space for breathwork, somatics, and embodied practice. Together with a growing network of facilitators, we support people in reconnecting to their body and regulating their nervous system in a way that’s grounded and sustainable. What makes this work different is that
I'm Ash
Why I Do This Work
The shift came when I stopped chasing big experiences and started building real capacity in my body. That’s where things began to change in a way that actually lasted.
I spent years doing the work – seeking healing, insight, and transformation—but still finding myself in the same patterns.
From Seeking to Building Real Capacity
The Turning Point
Now we focus on that inside The Body of Breath—helping you move beyond insight and into embodied change that you can carry into your life, or into your work if you feel called toward how to become a breathwork coach.
Where I am Now
Our private online space is where our community gathers for live breathwork sessions, self-paced learning, and shared resources. Inside, you’ll find guided practices, professional training opportunities, and a supportive network of breathers from around the world.

"My breathwork mentor has been the kind of mentor and teacher I’ve always wanted but didn’t think existed. The kind I always imagined a real mentor was: someone that you really work alongside like an apprenticeship. Someone that knows you well and where your challenge areas are from the close contact and oversight that they have of you. Someone that cares about you and your growth. Someone that supports you when you need to be nudged or met where you’re at. Someone that really shows you the ropes in a way that you can’t get from a text book or lecture. You know, how mentorship’s and apprenticeships must have looked like in the old days and in tribes 🙂."

"In my search for eternal truth, she was the first to hold me with quiet power. In every session, her hands feel woven from threads of another dimension — light like breath, steady like earth. There is no fear in journeying through the breath with Ashley, because her presence invokes a deep-rooted safety, the kind that cannot be taught — only embodied."

"My relationship to myself has shifted through my work with Ashley and that in turn has shifted other relationships in my life. I see things through a different lens. I'm able to not be so reactionary and if I am, I can sit and observe myself later. I've been able to access more forgiveness for myself and for others in that process. It's helped me move stagnant and unserving energy in my body that I might not have found the tools to deal with otherwise. The work gave me the tools to access these points, realizations, emotions, physical forms that I have built up externally and emotional walls that I have built internally that were keeping me from my highest potential. She taught me to teach myself through movement, breath, silence, reflection, slowing down......It's been life changing."
