Facilitating Within the Subtle Currents of Breath and Prana

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 — breath and prana revealing themselves as a continuous movement within the inner landscape of the body.

Because this work unfolds most clearly within the intimacy of individual sessions, the Advanced training places strong emphasis on one-on-one facilitation and supervised mentorship. Within this close relational field, practitioners learn to perceive and respond to the subtle movements of breath, energy, and awareness as they arise in real time.

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.

“Prana is the link between the physical and the spiritual.”

— Swami Sivananda


Who This Training Is For

This training is designed for practitioners who have completed the Restorative Breathwork® Foundations Facilitator Training and feel called to deepen their relationship with the subtle breath.

Participants are often yoga teachers, yoga therapists, healthcare practitioners, and contemplative guides who wish to refine their capacity to work within the intimacy of individual sessions.

The Advanced training is particularly suited for those who feel drawn toward the deeper energetic dimensions of breathwork — where facilitation arises not from technique alone, but from attunement to the subtle movements of breath, prana, and awareness.

Program Overview

The Restorative Breathwork® Advanced Facilitator Training is a nine-month mentorship designed to deepen the practitioner’s capacity to guide the subtle breath within individual sessions.

Building upon the Foundations Training, the program refines one-on-one facilitation, energetic sensitivity, and the practitioner’s ability to follow the deeper movements of breath and prana within the body and energetic field.

Through online study, live mentoring, supervised practicum, and an in-person immersion, participants develop the clarity and presence required to guide others within the subtle dimensions of breathwork.

Training Format

• Nine-month mentorship journey
• Emphasis on one-on-one facilitation and supervised mentorship
• Monthly live mentor sessions with Kathleen
• Structured practicum with guided feedback
• Online teaching platform with practices and lessons
• Mid-program in-person immersion (livestream available)

 

Why This Training?

There comes a time when facilitation 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.

Rooted in a yin approach, this training returns practitioners to that receptive ground. Here the breath is followed as a current of prana — subtle, intelligent, and quietly organizing.

As this movement unfolds through the chakra system and energetic field, deeper spaciousness within the body begins to reveal itself.

Facilitation becomes an act of listening.

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:

• Develop and refine one-to-one facilitation as the primary container for working with the subtle currents of breath and prana
• 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 inseparable — the quality of one’s practice shapes the quality of one’s presence.

How the Training Unfolds

This training weaves contemplative study with direct experiential practice, guiding practitioners into the deeper dimensions of one-on-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 150 CE hours through Yoga Alliance and the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT).

The Restorative Breathwork training has profoundly changed my understanding of disease and its treatment and I have been able to help many of my patients through application of what I’ve learned.

”If you are called to this work of learning the powerful art of supporting your own, and others', healing through the breath look no further—Kathleen's program and her teachings are the real deal: steeped in years of study and experiential knowing. 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!
