Restorative Breathwork® Advanced Facilitator Training

Deepening Into the Subtle Dynamics of the Pranic Field
If the Foundations training establishes the ground of listening to the breath, the Advanced training invites practitioners into a more intimate relationship with the subtle field that shapes it. What was first sensed begins to be felt more directly — the breath and prana revealing themselves as one continuous movement within the body’s inner landscape.
Here, practitioners refine their capacity to follow the currents of energy through the breath, working more consciously with the chakra system and the deeper emotional patterns held within it. What begins as gentle unwinding in Foundations becomes a more deliberate process of healing and integration, supporting the restoration of coherent flow and the deepening of meditative presence.
Through practice, reflection, and guided facilitation, the work matures. Guidance arises less from structure and more from attunement — a quiet responsiveness to the intelligence moving beneath the surface of the breath.
In this way, the training prepares practitioners to enter the deeper dimensions of the work, where breath, prana, and awareness begin to move as one living field — opening the threshold into the more intimate apprenticeship of the Barratt Breathwork® path.

There comes a time when guidance can no longer arise from effort or technique alone, but from stillness itself. When holding space shifts from something we do to something we embody.
This training returns practitioners to that receptive ground. Rooted in a yin approach, we learn to follow the breath as a current of prana — subtle, intelligent, and quietly organizing. As it moves through the chakra system and energetic field, it reveals spaciousness within the body and the quiet radiance of the Self.
Here, facilitation becomes an act of listening. Practitioners are invited into subtler dimensions of the breath, where healing unfolds through presence rather than control.
Into the Inner Dimensions of Breath and Being
This training is for yoga professionals, therapists, and practitioners who have completed the Foundations Training and feel called to deepen their relationship with the subtle breath. Here, the work turns further inward, where facilitation begins to arise from attunement rather than method.
Through this training, practitioners:
• Refine one-to-one facilitation into a subtle energetic art
• Develop sensitivity to the movements of breath, presence, and prana
• Learn to guide others through stillness, resonance, and meditative clarity
Whether working privately, therapeutically, or in contemplative settings, practitioners deepen their capacity to support transformation through presence, language, and energetic discernment.

Rooted in Practice, Aligned in Presence
At the heart of this training is the cultivation of a deeply embodied personal practice. Your relationship with the subtle breath becomes the ground from which all facilitation arises.
Through consistent inward practice, practitioners develop the sensitivity, clarity, and attunement needed to guide others. In Restorative Breathwork®, personal depth and professional skill are not separate — the quality of one’s practice shapes the quality of one’s presence, becoming the living transmission offered to others.
Restorative Breathwork® Advanced Facilitator Training Overview
This training weaves contemplative study with direct experiential practice, guiding practitioners into the deeper dimensions of one-to-one facilitation. Each phase of the program supports the maturation of energetic perception, presence, and skillful guidance.
Participants engage through a blend of online study, live mentoring, and a structured hands-on practicum designed to bring the work from understanding into lived facilitation.
The online learning platform provides video teachings, guided breath practices, and written lessons that support reflection and integration. Monthly live mentor sessions create an interactive space to deepen skills, explore case studies, and receive feedback as facilitation evolves.
Midway through the training, an in-person immersion anchors the work in direct experience. Through guided partner facilitation, subtle tracking of pranic flow, and hands-on feedback, practitioners refine their ability to hold space with clarity, responsiveness, and depth. Select portions of the immersion are available via livestream for those unable to travel.
Together, these elements form a rhythm of study, practice, and embodied application — supporting both personal transformation and the maturation of professional presence.
This training is eligible for 100 CE hours through Yoga Alliance and the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT).

I am grateful she has been, and continues to be, a mentor and guide on my path."

—Nona Jordan, Master Coach, Guide, and Author
Restorative Breathwork is a powerful system to help heal yourself and to learn to help others. My training with Kathleen has particularly helped me as a yoga instructor with private clients. The teachings are applicable whether they are looking simply for stress relief or deep spiritual healing and growth.
Jill Loftis, Owner/Director, Uttara Yoga Studio
Kathleen led a three-part basic breathwork class for eight clients at the mental health free clinic run by my agency. The outcomes have been nothing short of amazing! After three months clients report improved sleep, better control of anger and stress, a marked reduction in panic attacks, and the need for less medication to manage symptoms of anxiety. Best of all, Kathleen provided our clients with tools which continue to empower them in their journeys toward mental wellness. We will definitely offer this class again!
