Who is breathwork teacher training for?
If you work in sports, traditional or alternative healthcare, as a yoga or Pilates teacher, soccer coach, physiotherapist, fitness coach, medical doctor, occupational therapist, osteopath, speech therapist, psychotherapist, martial arts teacher, performing arts teacher, hypnotherapist, Alexander Technique teacher, caregiver, performance coach, or in any profession that involves unlocking potential — breathwork certification is for you.
