Book a Discovery CallWhy This Training?
There comes a time when guidance must arise not from effort or technique, but from stillness itself. When holding space is no longer something we do—but something we become. This training is a return to that sacred, receptive ground. Rooted in a yin approach, we attune to the breath as a current of prana—subtle, intelligent, and profoundly organizing. As it flows through the chakra system and pranic field, it awakens inner spaciousness and the quiet radiance of the True Self. As a facilitator, you are invited to enter into deeper states of listening—following the breath into subtler dimensions where healing unfolds through presence, not control.
Into the Inner Dimensions of Breath and Being
This advanced training is for yoga professionals, healers, therapists, and soul-guides who have completed our Foundations Training and feel called to deepen their work—where breath becomes a gateway to subtle transformation and sacred presence. It’s for those ready to move beyond method into mastery, where the art of facilitation arises from inner attunement, not external technique.
Through This Training, You Will:
- Refine your one-on-one  breath facilitation into a subtle energy healing art
- Cultivate a deeper energetic sensitivity to breath, presence, and pranic flow
- Guide others through the inner terrain of stillness, resonance, and spiritual clarity
Whether you offer private sessions, teach therapeutic yoga, or guide others in meditative healing, this training deepens your capacity to work skillfully with the subtle breath—cultivating the language, presence, and energetic fluency needed to guide with depth and integrity.

Rooted in Practice, Aligned in Presence
At the heart of this training is the cultivation of a deeply embodied personal practice. Your own relationship with the subtle breath becomes the ground from which all facilitation arises. Through consistent, inwardly focused practice, you develop the energetic sensitivity, clarity, and attunement needed to guide others.
In Restorative Breathwork®, personal mastery is not separate from professional skill—it is the very foundation of it. The depth of your practice shapes the quality of your presence and becomes the living transmission you offer in your work with others.
Restorative Breathwork® Advanced Facilitator Training Overview
This immersive training blends in-depth theoretical study with experiential practice, guiding you into the deeper dimensions of one-on-one facilitation. The curriculum unfolds in thoughtfully structured modules that build progressively—each designed to deepen your understanding of the subtle breath and refine your facilitation through real-time application.
You'll engage with a robust online learning platform that includes:
- Instructional videos
- Guided breathwork audiosÂ
- Content-rich lessons you can revisit at your own paceÂ
These resources are supported by monthly live practice/mentor sessions—an interactive space to develop your skills, receive feedback, and grow in community with fellow trainees and experienced faculty. Midway through the program, an in-person immersion offers hands-on facilitation in an intimate setting. Through direct guidance, peer exchange, and advanced breath practices, you'll strengthen your capacity to attune to the breath’s subtle intelligence and hold space for profound inner stillness. Portions of the immersion are available via livestream for those with travel constraints. A private Facebook group serves as a hub for connection, shared insight, and mutual encouragement throughout your journey.
This training is eligible for 150 CE hours with both Yoga Alliance and the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT).

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!
