Writer: kevinconnelly82kevinconnelly82

Quality matters more than ever. With the launch of AI, countless businesses have risen up to meet the growing demand of wellness addicts. As a result, numerous breathwork teacher trainings have appeared, each claiming to be the best. But here’s the problem—many of these courses offer a fragmented approach, teaching only a piece of what’s truly required to become a skilled, confident breathwork facilitator.


At Reconnect, we’ve seen this firsthand. Many students come to us after completing other certifications, only to realize they’re missing key knowledge—whether it’s the science of breath, how to assess and guide clients effectively, or how to build a sustainable breathwork business. That’s why we designed our program to be the most comprehensive and science-backed breathwork teacher training available. If you want to become a breathwork teacher, this is the course you need.


The Science of Breathwork: A Solid Foundation

Breathwork isn’t just about spiritual experiences or feeling good in the moment—it’s a physiological practice that directly impacts the brain, nervous system, and overall health. A truly holistic breathwork teacher training should be built on a strong scientific foundation, and at Reconnect, we take this seriously.

We are one of the only breathwork organizations in the world conducting our own research into brain waves and heart rate variability. This means our program isn’t just based on tradition or anecdotal evidence—we’re actively studying how breathwork changes the body and mind in measurable ways. This gives us the opportunity to teach you:

  • The physiological effects of different breathing techniques

  • How breath influences the autonomic nervous system

  • The relationship between certain breath exercises and how the alter our brain waves

  • How we can use our breath to shift our heart into healthier patterns so we can live longer and experience less stress


When you train with Reconnect, you’re not just learning how to lead breathwork sessions—you’re gaining a deep understanding of why these techniques work and how to tailor them for different individuals.


The Foundations of Breathing: History, Anatomy, and Biology


Most breathwork courses teach techniques but fail to dive into the mechanics of breathing itself. Before you can guide others, you need to understand how breathing actually works—both from a biological and historical perspective. That’s why our training covers:

  • The history of breath practices – From the roots of pranayama traditions to modern breath practices, understanding where breathwork comes from allows you to practice and teach with greater depth and authenticity.

  • Anatomy and physiology – Learn about the diaphragm, respiratory system, and how breath impacts everything from digestion to cognitive function.

  • Epigenetics and breath – Discover how breath can influence gene expression, inflammation levels, and overall health.

  • Dysfunctional breathing patterns – Many people breathe inefficiently without even realizing it. We teach you how to assess and correct poor breathing habits, helping your clients unlock better health and performance.

By mastering these foundations, you’ll be able to teach breathwork with confidence, knowing you’re offering clients not just techniques, but true breath mastery.


Building and Structuring Your Breathwork Sessions

Many breathwork teacher training programs give students a set of exercises to guide, but they don’t teach how to customize sessions for different people and needs. We don't believe there's a one-size-fits-all approach. Everyone is a bit different, so it's important to use the right tools with the right person. At Reconnect, we emphasize structure, adaptability, and assessment.


What You’ll Learn:

  • How to conduct a breath assessment – Learn how to analyze a client’s breathing patterns and determine what techniques they need.

  • When to prescribe different exercises – Not all breathwork techniques are suitable for every person or situation. We teach you how to know when a client should use a calming exercise versus a stimulating one.

  • Systems for guiding breathwork safely – Gain an understanding of nervous system states, CO2 tolerance, and oxygen utilization so you can guide breathwork sessions that are effective and safe.

  • Trauma-informed practices – Breathwork can unlock deep emotional experiences. We equip you with the skills to create a safe, supportive environment for clients processing past traumas.

The Business of Breath: Turning Passion into a Career

Many aspiring breathwork teachers finish their certification feeling confident in their skills but unsure how to turn their knowledge into a career. That’s why we dedicate a number of modules to the business of breath—so you can build a sustainable, fulfilling career without relying solely on social media posts.


What You’ll Learn:

  • Client acquisition strategies – Learn how to get in front of individuals and groups without spending hours on Instagram.

  • High-value offerings – Discover how to structure workshops, corporate sessions, and retreats that attract premium clients.

  • Creating your own breathwork music tracks – Instead of using generic background music, we teach you how to record and produce your own guided breathwork sessions, allowing clients to practice with your voice even when you’re not there.

  • Branding and positioning – Learn how to differentiate yourself in the crowded wellness space and attract the right audience for your unique style of teaching.


By the end of this section, you’ll have a clear roadmap for turning your breathwork practice into a thriving business—one that allows you to help others while creating financial stability for yourself.
