Absolutely. The course is for anyone just getting started to those who've been practicing for years but want a deeper understanding, more in-depth exercises, and lots of knowledge and tools on both topics.

The Reconnect instructor training is a combination of modern functional breathing practices, pranayama, and a splash of freediving theory. The exercises are designed to realign your body into functional breathing patterns while teaching you to use your breath to release stress/anxiety, increase relaxation, and improve your overall health. The course covers 3 areas: Functional breathing, breath training, and cold exposure. You'll learn the principles of these 3 areas and gain skills for teaching others how to use them.

You will be guided by the founder of Reconnect, Kevin Connelly. Kevin holds multiple breathwork certifications from organizations like the Oxygen Advantage, The Whole Health Project, and Peak Flow. He has led hundreds of breathing sessions, worked 1-on-1 with clients, and facilitated workshops, trainings, and corporate events. Kevin also studied with breath expert and New York Times best selling author James Nestor. You'll also watch guest lectures from myofunctional therapist, Brittny Sciarra, and best-selling author and founder of Aria Breath, Tom Granger. Both our in-person and online trainings will have additional live lectures from TBD guests.

Yes. The effects of the breathing exercises used in this course have been studied and proven to decrease depression, anxiety, insomnia, and stress, as well as increasing energy and focus. You'll read studies and dive into research about how these practices affect our biology and increase our health.

Yes! Our online instructors will make their way through the course as a group. The training will be completed virtually through our online portal but will also include 8 weekly live calls where we'll answer questions, work on our skills, and dive a bit deeper into the topics. Instructors will also complete partner exercises with fellow students to receive feedback and learn from others in the group. Our in-person trainings will be held as a group with a maximum of 10 participants.

Luckily you'll be able to teach both! The first half of the course is structured around functional breathing and breath training while the second half dives into cold exposure and guiding others through the ice. You'll gain an understanding on how to use these practices for yourself and how to safely lead others through the experience.

You'll have lifelong access to the instructor training and will also receive updates on the manual as we continue to upgrade and improve our education.

Yes! If you don't want to pay for the course in one lump sum, you can choose to pay in 4 or 10 monthly installments.

We will meet virtually every Wednesday during the course from 6:30-7:30pm EST.
