According to our former students:
Thank you Michael for your time and amazing input, it was nice to listen to you. You really talking with your heart and this I can feel, really important questions and for sure, that’s the only right way, follow your heart if you running for the money you will not be successful, create good vibration in yourself – do it with kindness follow your heart and your flow than all is coming good. Thanks for this teaching.

Wonderful genuine energy. Really enjoyed your session. Thank you
Mandy
ââââ
I experienced Michael as a deeply embodied being and there was a presence that seemed to radiate through the screen. I loved the wisdom around the self inquiry with one’s intention into the WHY we are training / wanting to facilitate etc. While I love holotrophic and more intense breathwork – I appreciated his response to the question at the end around trauma.
Bec

Michael has taught me to be able to trust the process and go with the flow and naturally things will happen perfectly. He has so much wisdom and a great nature. Thank you Michael!!
Matt
ââââ
Loved the reflection activity on why I decided on breathwork facilitator training for myself – and what I want to share with others. Michael is a very insightful teacher and I resonated when he spoke about the light within being lit before it can shine out into the world. And pranayama leading to the realisation that you are much more than the physical body – so powerful.

In this 4-week course it is not only the goal to be knowledgable in the facts scientific facts and know-how of breathwork, but also to BE a good teacher by developing your own practice and get clear what your true goal is in life and what could be blocking you from reaching this.
So, besides watching and studying the pre-recorded lectures, you will also have to do daily breathwork sessions (either guided sessions or by yourself) and make daily journaling assignments. This will take around 2 x 50 minutes of your day, depending on the session you want to do.
The course takes 4-weeks and consists of the following elements you will have to do every day, in your own time at your own pace:
Watch/ study the pre-recorded video lectures and written lectures. (5 – 20 minutes per lecture)
Daily journaling assignment for the morning and evening (this will take about 5-10 minutes per session)
Doing a breathwork session by yourself or do one of the guided sessions that are included in the course. (30 – 50 minutes per session)
Also, there will be live Q&A sessions. If you somehow cannot join them, you can watch a recording of the session. There will be:
1 live welcoming video session with an explanation and a short meditation to set your intention for your path to becoming a great teacher.
5 live video sessions with Q&A of around 60 minutes every Saturday during the 4-week course at 16:00 (London time)
During the 4-week course, there will be 5 live sessions every Saturday at 16:00 – London Time.
In case you cannot make it to the live sessions, which of course can happen, you can watch a recording of the session.
It is our mission to share this knowledge with as many people as possible, not to make it a business. There are of course a lot of costs made and people have to be paid (a programmer, web designer, marketing personnel, advertisements, my own cost of living, etc…). This is what I feel is a fair price to pay for this knowledge, to have the commitment and to support our project.
In order to receive a certificate of completion, one must have done all the lectures and must pass the test at the end of the course. You will then receive your certificate in the app!
