Awaken the Quiet Power of the Subtle Breath  
Through Restorative Breathwork® Foundations Facilitator Training 
 

Next Training Begins October 27, 2025

Are you drawn to a deeper stillness—one that transcends relaxation and awakens body, mind, and spirit? This foundational training invites you to explore the meditative power of the subtle breath. Through personal immersion and hands-on practice, you’ll experience the quiet radiance and deep peace that arise from within—and begin to learn how to guide others into that same sacred space of inner stillness. While this course stands fully on its own as a transformative journey, it also serves as the gateway to our Advanced Facilitator Training—a path that deepens your mastery and expands your capacity to guide others with presence, clarity, and depth through more esoteric dimensions of the breath.

Start Your Path as a Restorative Breathwork® Facilitator

Cultivate Presence. Share Stillness.
Inspire Transformation.

This Foundations Facilitator Training offers a sanctuary of renewal—an opportunity to deepen your inner work while learning to guide others into restorative states of calm, clarity, and radiance. Rooted in the timeless wisdom of Eastern breath traditions, Restorative Breathwork® honors the subtle breath as a gateway to healing and transformation.

Designed for yoga teachers, yoga therapists, psychotherapists, and other mind-body professionals, this immersive program weaves together the science of nervous system regulation with the Yogic science of breath.

You will learn to attune to the more subtle qualities of the breath in order to unwind breath tensions, regulate the nervous system, and balance energy flow within the subtle body—fostering physical, mental, and spiritual vibrancy.

Under the guidance of Kathleen Barratt and her team, you’ll cultivate a quiet mastery—learning to hold space with clarity, attunement, and reverence for the breath’s profound intelligence.

Yoga Alliance & IAYT CEUs available.

The Essence of Restorative Breathwork®

Restorative Breathwork® is a meditative, yin approach to breathwork that draws from the Eastern traditions of breath and subtle energy. Grounded in stillness, it offers a profound path to healing—regulating the nervous system, quieting the mind, and opening us to the sacred presence of the True Self.

Rather than manipulating or controlling the breath, this practice honors the breath’s natural intelligence. It invites a deep receptivity—allowing the breath to guide us inward, one layer at a time: first the body, then the breath, then the mind, until we arrive in the spacious silence of inner being.

By gently strengthening vagal tone, Restorative Breathwork restores balance to an overstimulated nervous system, supporting physical health and emotional resiliency. At the same time, it works energetically—freeing stagnations in the pranic body and restoring the natural flow of life force.

This practice is a subtle yet powerful dance between doing and undoing—between breath and prana, effort and surrender—awakening a quiet luminosity within that is both deeply healing and spiritually transformative.

 Restorative Breathwork Foundations Facilitator Training Structure

This hybrid program blends the flexibility of online learning with the depth of in-person experience. It includes eight progressive online modules, enriched with guided practices, video instruction, and downloadable resources to support both personal deepening and professional development.

This unique blend of self-paced study and interactive mentoring allows you to absorb the teachings at your own rhythm while feeling supported every step of the way. As you progress through the later modules, the focus shifts organically from personal integration to learning how to skillfully guide others—both in one-on-one sessions and small group settings.

The training is further enriched by bi-weekly Zoom Q&A sessions and two immersive in-person weekends that bring the teachings to life through experiential practice and hands-on facilitation. While Q&A sessions will be recorded, weekend sessions are only partially captured—students are warmly encouraged to attend live to receive the sacred depth and energetic transmission that can only unfold in real time. Whether engaging in live dialogue or sharing within our private community forum, this dynamic feedback loop fosters a rich, personalized learning environment—one where growth is deepened through connection, inquiry, and embodied experience.

 

This is a concentrated six-week journey, combining in-person immersions, live Q&A sessions, and online study. In addition to the live components, you can expect to dedicate approximately 4 hours each week to the online coursework—an intentional rhythm of study and practice that supports your commitment to integration and mastery. As you journey through each week, the breath becomes both teacher and ally—supporting your personal awakening and laying the groundwork for skillful, heart-centered facilitation.
