The Mastery Program
12 weeks of deep practice, direct mentorship, and real transformation
| Only 20 spots · First cohort · September 2026 |
For practitioners who are done with surface-level learning. This is where you go from knowing the techniques to embodying them — and building a life and practice around them.
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.
✓ BIC graduates
You’ve completed the Breathwork Instructor Course 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.
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.
12 Live Group Calls
90-minute weekly sessions with Michaël — breathwork practice, deep teaching, live Q&A, and group integration.
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.
Full BIC Curriculum Access
Complete access to all Breathwork Instructor Course materials as your foundation — included in full.
Business of Breathwork Module
4 weeks dedicated to building your practice: pricing, clients, online presence, session design.
Private Cohort Community
A dedicated group of 20 committed practitioners — daily accountability, sharing, and support between calls.
Certified Life Awareness Practitioner
Graduate with an advanced certification above BIC level, recognised within the Yogalap & IBF network.
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.
Foundation & Self-Mastery
Deep dive into advanced pranayama, nervous system regulation, and somatic awareness. Daily practices establish the ground of your own transformation.
Inner Work & Emotional Architecture
Work with mental and emotional blockages, trauma-informed facilitation, and how to hold space for profound experiences in others.
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.
Build Your Practice
Everything needed to create an income from this work: offer design, pricing, community building, online and offline teaching, client management.
