Breath & Ice

Through combining a preparatory online module with a 5 day in person training, you will gain practical skills, experience and knowledge around facilitating Breathwork journeys and Ice baths. These two disciplines compliment each other as breath regulation is a vital part of training our mind-body connection and developing stress management skills. You will decode the nervous system and learn how the breath is our greatest and most tangible self regulation tool. By the end of the program you will be a confident and accredited facilitator under Yoga Alliance.
