Barratt Breath Institute Programs
Barratt Breathwork® is not approached as a single course, but as a deepening relationship with the breath itself. For some, this begins as a personal turning inward — a quiet refinement of awareness and inner coherence. For others, it gradually unfolds into the capacity to guide and support this process in others.
The offerings of the Barratt Breath Institute are designed as stages within one unfolding journey. Foundations establish nervous-system regulation, deep listening, and practitioner presence. From this ground, the work deepens into the subtle dynamics of breath and prana, where facilitation begins to mature through attunement to the inner movements of energy and awareness. For those called further, the Master Mentorship opens into the deeper currents of the pranic field and the more refined depths of meditative realization, supporting the embodiment of the work as a living transmission.
Wherever you begin, the journey is less about acquiring methods and more about entering a living practice that unfolds through listening, refinement, and the deepening of inner presence.

Restorative Breathwork® Live Breath Series
A progressive path of personal immersion
This ongoing series supports a deepening relationship with Restorative Breathwork® through direct experience and guided practice. Offered throughout the year via live Zoom sessions, the Foundations and Advanced Breath Series invite participants into a steady rhythm of inner exploration and integration.
The Foundations Series emphasizes grounding, inner coherence, and nervous system ease, while the Advanced Series draws the seasoned practitioner into the subtler currents of breath and prana, where meditative depth and spiritual awareness naturally begin to unfold.
These gatherings welcome both dedicated practitioners and facilitators in training, providing a living space for the continued maturation of practice that underlies all deeper study within Barratt Breathwork®.

Restorative Breathwork®
Foundations Facilitator
A first doorway into the inner practice of breath
This training marks the beginning of the path into the subtle breath — where nervous-system regulation, energetic awareness, and facilitation presence begin to take shape together.
Practitioners learn to guide others into stillness with safety, sensitivity, and discernment, beginning with small-group facilitation while cultivating their own embodied relationship with the breath.
Foundations establishes the physiological, energetic, and ethical ground from which all deeper work within Barratt Breathwork® unfolds.

Restorative Breathwork®
Advanced FacilitatorÂ
Deepening Into the Subtle Dynamics of the Pranic Field
This level deepens the practitioner’s relationship with the subtle body, meditative breath states, and the quiet language of energy itself. Here, facilitation begins to mature beyond structured method into attuned listening and stabilized inner stillness.
Practitioners cultivate sensitivity to the movements of prana, a deeper felt understanding of the chakra system, and the discernment needed to guide from embodied presence.
Here, facilitation shifts from learning the work to living within it — preparing those called forward for deeper apprenticeship within the Barratt Breathwork® lineage.

Barratt Breathwork®
Master FacilitatorÂ
Where the Work Matures Into Transmission and Stewardship
At this level, the work deepens beyond facilitation into embodied stewardship. Guidance arises less from technique and more from the quiet coherence of one’s own presence, where the breath is carried as a living current rather than delivered as a method.
Through close mentorship, supervised practice, and advanced contemplative inquiry, practitioners refine their capacity to hold the work with depth, discernment, and devotion — guiding others from inner stillness while participating in the living transmission of Barratt Breathwork®.
Step Into ApprenticeshipÂ
The path does not move forward so much as inward — each stage opening a subtler listening,
until the breath itself becomes the guide.
TESTIMONIALS
"Having been in the health and fitness industry for nearly thirty years, I have taken many courses for my professional licenses and certification requirements to improve my skills and advance my education. I know first-hand how difficult online classes can be both as a facilitator as well as a participant. I recently completed Kathleen Barratt's Restorative Breathwork Foundations Course and found it to be very well organized, professional, and informational. Her progression of the material was clear and logical. Her passion was very apparent throughout the course, as she was excited and helpful to her students. The material in this course will help me improve my skills in teaching meditation, relaxation, and breathing techniques both in one-on-one clinical sessions as well as in a group atmosphere. This was a refreshing course and I would recommend it to any Yoga Teacher or Health Professional."

"After having been in the healing field as a nurse, and having received energy work from powerful healers, plus psychotherapy, I was surprised to find that Restorative Breathwork allowed me to have the most direct experience with the energy that is the giver of life. Kathleen is an experienced guide who is very wise, powerful, present, and sensitive. Her work alone has been the one force that has instigated my most dramatic spiritual learning."
