The training

Pranayama guides the breath. Shamanic breathwork lets it lead.

This is a breathwork training through and through. You live on site, practise every day and learn to guide transformational breathwork with confidence, integrity and presence.

You arrive deepening your own practice. You leave ready to guide.

What a beautiful oasis, tucked in between wise trees. One can feel the serenity of the space with each step, nurtured by the surrounding ancient mountains. I can’t imagine a better place for a retreat or a wonderful inner journey!
