Joanna Harper and Integrate Training are delighted to host this level one BBM teacher training course – live online via zoom.

This 36-hour level one BBM teacher training is geared to healthcare professionals, coaches, NLP and IEMT practitioners, administrators, therapists, yoga and meditation teachers, school teachers, military, first responders, EMTs, police, firefighters, disaster relief workers, and service organizations – who have met the above course prerequisites.

Benefits of Breath-Body-Mind™ have been shown in health care practitioners, individuals with psychiatric and medical conditions, at-risk children, veterans, active-duty military, research studies, and survivors of disasters.

 Dr Brown and Dr Gerbarg have provided BREATH-BODY-MIND™ programs for the relief of psychological and physical symptoms related to the 2001 World Trade Center attack for the past 15 years. Thousands of people have benefited, including First Responders, healthcare providers, tower escapees, area residents, volunteers, Ground Zero workers, and families. Their programs have also been highly beneficial for survivors of the Southeast Asian Tsunami (2004), the Gulf Horizon oil spill, and survivors of war, human trafficking, slavery, genocide and abuse in South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Nigeria (the Chibok girls who survived captivity by the Boko Haram), Middle East refugees in Berlin, Rohingya refugee children in Bangladesh, and other refugee populations including crisis and relief in Ukraine.

About the training:

In this first part of the three-level teacher training sequence, you learn to teach the core BBM techniques to individuals for stress, coping with COVID, anxiety disorders, PTSD, military trauma, post-disaster, depression, ADHD, and stress-related medical conditions. Specific methods taught in this program include:

  • “Ha” breath, coherent breathing, breath moving, and 4-4-6-2 breathing
  • Two Golden Wheels
  • Body scan, Guided meditation/visualization, and muscle relaxation
  • Trauma sensitive teaching
  • Introduction to BBM for Children
  •  Precautions in teaching individuals with psychiatric and medical conditions
  •  Introduction to Integrating Breath Practices with coaching, therapies and other methodologies

Increase understanding of neurophysiological effects of voluntarily regulated breathing practices on emotion regulation, bonding, and cognitive function. Practice teaching while teaching assistants observe and offer suggestions for improvement. Attention is given to creating a safe container, tone of voice, pacing, the accuracy of instruction, and trauma sensitivity.
