Cecilie Amlie

The hale breath guide training has been a really good experience for me, I have done others as well but I truly feel that this guide training is really ticking off all the boxes it has workshops and techniques and we go through different things which might occur in a class or we might be part of while faciilitating which you wouldn’t really think about but which is really important.

Saszeline Emanuelle

It exceeded my expectations. I thought I was only going to learn about breathwork, but on top of that, we also learned about the importance of facilitation, breathwork safety, how to manage a class with participants experiencing different reactions or levels of breathing, and the significance of music in the breathwork process.
