“For over 25 years, I’ve used the breath as a doorway — not just to calmer minds, but to healed bodies, awakened consciousness, and lives fully lived. It’s the single most powerful tool I know for unlocking what’s possible in a person. But for years, one question kept coming back to me: how do you go from knowing this to actually living it, fully? This program is my answer — the deepest, most direct work I’ve ever offered, for the people ready to go all the way.”

Is This For You?

You’ve learned the techniques.
Now it’s time to master them.

This program is for people who feel the call to go deeper — not just as practitioners, but as guides, teachers, and humans who want to live what they teach.

Maybe you’ve felt it too — that quiet frustration of holding so much capacity to help others, while something in you still waits to be fully realized.

Breathwork Instructor Course (BIC) graduates

You’ve completed the BIC and are ready for the next level — more depth, more mentorship, more mastery.

Yoga & wellness teachers

You teach already, but you want to integrate breathwork and nervous system work at a deeper level into your existing practice.

Therapists & coaches

You work with people’s emotional and mental wellbeing and want powerful somatic tools that go beyond talking.

Serious practitioners

You’ve done the solo study. You’re ready for a container with real accountability, community, and a teacher who knows your name.

What’s Included

Everything you need to go all the way

This isn’t a course library you unlock and browse. It’s a live, guided journey with Michaël and a cohort of committed practitioners — for 12 weeks.

Everything here exists for one reason: so that in twelve weeks, you don’t just know more — you become more.

🎙️

12 Live Group Calls

90-minute weekly – 8 sessions with Michaël – breathwork practice, deep teaching, live Q&A, and group integration. – 4 with other experts about finance, life-work balance, and business.

🫂

1 Private 1-on-1 Session

At the midpoint of the program, Michaël meets with you personally to assess your progress and calibrate the second half of your journey.

The Journey

A 12-week arc, designed to unfold

Each month builds on the last. You don’t just learn — you integrate, practice, and teach as you go.

01–03

Foundation & Self-Mastery

Deep dive into advanced pranayama, nervous system regulation, and somatic awareness. Daily practices establish the ground of your own transformation.

04–06

Inner Work & Emotional Architecture

Work with mental and emotional blockages, trauma-informed facilitation, and how to hold space for profound experiences in others.

07–09

The Art of Guiding Others

Advanced facilitation skills — how to read a room, adapt techniques, create safe containers, and lead with presence rather than performance.

10–12

Build Your Practice

Everything needed to create an income from this work: offer design, pricing, community building, online and offline teaching, client management — until the version of you who helps others for a living finally feels real.
