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.
You’ve completed the BIC and are ready for the next level — more depth, more mentorship, more mastery.
You teach already, but you want to integrate breathwork and nervous system work at a deeper level into your existing practice.
You work with people’s emotional and mental wellbeing and want powerful somatic tools that go beyond talking.
You’ve done the solo study. You’re ready for a container with real accountability, community, and a teacher who knows your name.
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.
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.
At the midpoint of the program, Michaël meets with you personally to assess your progress and calibrate the second half of your journey.
Complete access to all BIC materials as your foundation — included in full, whether you’ve done it before or not.
4 weeks dedicated to building your practice: pricing, clients, online presence, session design.
A dedicated group of 20 committed practitioners — daily accountability, sharing, and support between calls.
Graduate with an advanced certification above BIC level, recognised within the Yogalap & IBF network.
A full program workbook to guide your inner work, reflections, and practice integration week by week.
Receive Michaël’s book The Way to Unity — a companion to the program and your ongoing practice.
Each month builds on the last. You don’t just learn — you integrate, practice, and teach as you go.
Deep dive into advanced pranayama, nervous system regulation, and somatic awareness. Daily practices establish the ground of your own transformation.
Work with mental and emotional blockages, trauma-informed facilitation, and how to hold space for profound experiences in others.
Advanced facilitation skills — how to read a room, adapt techniques, create safe containers, and lead with presence rather than performance.
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.
“I experienced Michaël as a deeply embodied being and there was a presence that seemed to radiate through the screen. The wisdom he shares is irreplaceable.”
Bec
BIC Graduate, Australia
“This course is very complete. I feel I have both the knowledge and personal experience to share this wonderful practice. I can’t wait to do it.”
Elise
BIC Graduate, Belgium
“My experience was so rich and profound. I have built so much knowledge, awareness and inner peace and purpose.”
Enea
BIC Graduate, Italy
“Michaël taught me to trust the process and go with the flow. He has so much wisdom and a great nature.”
Matt
BIC Graduate, UK
“I’ve seen what happens when someone truly commits to this work. That’s why I’m making this promise: if you show up, do the work, and haven’t landed your first paying client by the end of our 12 weeks — I’ll keep working with you. Free access to the next cohort’s live calls and materials, for as long as it takes.
I’m not going anywhere. And once you commit, neither should you.”
— Michaël
