Somatic Breathflow
Facilitator Training
Somatic Breathflow is a comprehensive breathing method resting on 40+ years of collaborative research in anatomy & psychology designed to transform our body tissues and inner awareness.
Moving beyond repetitive, mentally imposed, circular breathing practices, Breathflow engages the body's interconnected systems in a deeply relaxing and clinically proven way that transforms us from the inside out. We see breath as a full-body gesture which is rooted in visceral and subconscious structures that we can feel and know from within — transforming emotional and physical patterns through anatomy-informed and sustainable ways.
Breathflow connects the embodied somatic sensations awakened by the breathing gesture with shifts in the emotional, mental, and transpersonal space within us.
Rooted in psychology, transdisciplinary holistic education, and decades of anatomy research, Breathflow offers a practical way to awaken hidden parts of the body and psyche to integrate the conscious and subconscious elements of ourselves.
Experience breathing as a full-body gesture rooted in embodied anatomy
Through body-informed breath that transforms hidden patterns, we expand what is possible for us in our health, our relationships, and our life's vision.

TRAINING STRUCTURE
The training extends over 6 weeks and is structured to contain self-study components and live online sessions with the lead teacher, allowing for a balance between independent study and group dynamics.
This intensive training consists of six weekend gatherings (Sundays 4-5 hours). During the week you will be guided to progress on your own through profound yet easily accessible practices that continue to build your somatic knowledge.
Daily exchange in our private group offers you support as you build your repertoire and confidence at your own rhythm. Together we share and reveal new layers of the practice.
During our live weekend sessions, we solidify our knowledge from the previous week and then advance into deeper layers of mastery. Our Montessori-inspired teaching method ensures that you feel supported in effective study even if you miss a live event.

Learning Outcomes of Pillar 1:
Participants apply up-to-date research knowledge for practical anatomy exercises and discover the keys of the breathing apparatus. This is vital to understanding, explaining, and leading somatic awareness exercises through breath that respect and work with the complexity of the body. Breathing is experienced as a multi-dimensional and layered full-body gesture.
Anatomy & Somatics knowledge covered:
-
Rib cage strcuture & mobility
-
Inhaler & exhaler muscles
-
Forces of expansion & contraction
-
Active & passive breathing mechanisms
-
Organs & visceral pressures
-
Fascia lines and muscular chains
-
The diaphragm & the stress reflex
-
Links between somatics & every-day movements
SOMATIC DREAMTIME AND INTUITION
Pillar Two:
Access your subconscious world through patterns in the body
Somatic Breathflow® is based on research and clinical protocols in psychology, cognitive science, and dreamtime practices that help you access your subconscious through your body.
