BBM is ideal professional development for coaches, mental health practitioners, psychologists, therapists, nurses, doctors, school teachers, yoga teachers, first responders, relief workers, NGOs, and administrators who may wish to also attend the Level-1 Breath-Body-Mind Instructor Training.

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

Following this course, we highly recommend attending a weekly BBM practice session (45 – 60 minutes) for a minimum of six weeks for BBM Level-1 Instructor Training. You can attend BBM classes prior to BBM Fundamentals training too.

This BBM Course and six follow-up sessions fulfill the prerequisites for L1 BBM Instructor Training. 

On the 2-day Weekend Online BBM Fundamentals Course:-

You will learn breathing techniques shown to relieve stress and improve mood, mental focus, and performance. Positive effects have been experienced by individuals with anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADD and other medical conditions. Many people who have practiced these techniques say that they feel transformed, and they never would have imagined that something so simple could be so effective.

Through movement, breathing, and relaxation techniques, you will learn to:

  • Increase your stress resilience and renew your energy.
  • Reduce stress, anxiety, depression, and insomnia.
  • Increase lung capacity, oxygenation, and cardio-respiratory health.
  • Connect to your inner self and others.
  • Improve relationships and empathic abilities.
  • Improve performance in personal and professional activities.
