What Is The JTB Facilitator Training?
The ‘Journey The Breath’ six month facilitation training is a comprehensive 250 hour breathwork training designed to support those wishing to safely and confidently lead conscious connected breathwork sessions for individuals and groups both in person and online.
Phase 1- Personal Process:
This phase is designed to help you understand and familiarize yourself with the concept of conscious connected breathwork. It's a deep dive into your own story and history, self-awareness, and understanding of your own breath patterns.
Phase 2- Working With Individuals:
Here, you will learn the skills necessary to conduct one-on-one breath work sessions. This includes understanding individual breath patterns, guiding personal sessions, and tailoring the breath work process to meet individual needs.
Phase 3- Working With Groups:
This phase focuses on expanding your skills to facilitate breathwork sessions for groups. You will learn how to manage group dynamics, create a safe space for collective experiences, and conduct group sessions both in-person and online.
At the end of the six months those who complete the course and the certification requirements will receive a 250 hour certification.
Alongside learning the skills to confidently lead trauma-informed breathwork sessions, this experience offers an opportunity for profound enrichment and transformation within a supportive community of peers.
