Meet Mandy Brinkley: Breath-Body-Mind Teacher
When we first began offering Breath-Body-Mind (BBM) certification training courses and retreat-style learning, it was important to me that these courses and experiences are grounded, restorative, and accessible. They need to be led by experienced teachers who understand that learning is not only intellectual but embodied.
Mandy Brinkley brings exactly that quality to her teaching, which is why she is part of our team at Integrate Training.
Mandy’s Background and Experience
Mandy is a certified Level 4 Breath-Body-Mind (BBM) Teacher and Senior Yoga Teacher. She co-teaches on our BBM certification training courses and online retreat-style learning events. What makes Mandy’s teaching distinctive is the calm authority that comes from deep personal practice. Her sessions blend gentle, adaptive movement and BBM breathwork in a way that restores balance to body, mind, and spirit.
Rooted in experience and ongoing personal practice, Mandy teaches in a way that is inclusive and accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or flexibility. Mandy’s focus is never on achievement, but on presence, self-awareness, and regulation.
Mandy’s Approach
Through movement, stillness, and breath, Mandy creates a space where learning becomes embodied — where participants can notice, feel, and integrate the practices rather than think about doing them. Mandy’s sessions invite participants to slow down and reconnect with their own rhythm.
Mandy’s work reflects what we value most at Integrate Training: the integration of knowledge, experience, and care. Her teaching helps students and practitioners restore their energy, rediscover clarity, and return to their clients with renewed balance and presence.
Warmest wishes,
Joanna
