About the training:

  • Trauma sensitive BBM teaching skills

  •  Introduction to integrating Breath Practices with coaching, therapy and a range of wellbeing methodologies.

Increase your understanding of neurophysiological effects of voluntarily regulated breathing practices on emotion regulation, bonding, and cognitive function. Practice teaching while BBM teachers observe and offer suggestions for improvement.
