"one of the best trainings I have ever done"
Join our co founder on the south coast of Sri Lanka for an immersive 6 night training into the power of breath, the nervous system and beyond.
Start each day with an invigorating guided ice bath or two (optional). You will be tucked away - learning in nature from our passionate & knowledgable co founder, Adam who makes each day "engaging, fun and deeply human".
Through his science based curriculum which balances theory and application you will explore various interesting modules (see below). This program opens doors and gently touches upon the deeper layers of the practice and what it means to facilitate others, with dedicated time for your own integration, each day ends with a final Breathwork session as part of your personal journey and self exploration.
From €950 including food & tuition
Before you arrive
We will help you prepare by laying the foundations with a short online program. Watch videos, practice and enjoy the 30+ guided Breathwork classes!
Breathwork Facillitation
Deepen your own practice & knowledge through expansive and thorough classes which balance theory & application perfectly...
Ice bath facilitation (optional)
This is not about pushing, conquering or overriding your system, its about forming a deep connection to your nervous system.
Course Modules
The method
In short, you will be learning 4 different ways to navigate the 4 pathways of the nervous system (Down regulating, up-regulating, regulating and transformational).
For the main breathwork session which you are learning to guide it is known as a transformational technique - which lineage stems from Tummo.
This technique differentiates from other the popularised methods such as Rebirthing, Wim Hof, Holotropic and Conscious connected. Often students find this technique more gentle and easier on the body as it takes immediate effect and therefore doesn't require the typical 1-4 hour long sessions.
This method uses a cyclical breath with holds separating each round. You will get to practice it in your online sessions before arriving!

Experienced and down to earth, this training is led by co-founder, Adam Kaoullas. With an extensive background in breath, Yoga, and cold exposure - Adam has trained with the top industry experts and led hundreds of people through breathwork journeys and ice baths.

Who can do this course?
This course is highly recommended for those who are passionate about practicing and guiding Breathwork sessions and/or ice baths safely and professionally.
It is a great addition to any health & wellness practitioners tool box. Saying that, there is also a lot to be gained personally as the program is very practical and has dedicated time for individual integration and sessions which are about experiencing and self development, rather than 'becoming the teacher'.
