“The conscious breath in and out is a meditation.”

BreathCoach Breathing Knowledge Certificate

You will receive a certificate to show that you have completed 'The Breathing Knowledge'. This will state that you have completed a total of 25 hours of Continuing Education.

The 25 hours includes:

- 7 Sessions of pre-recorded online lectures: approximately 2 hours each

- 7 live 'group check ins': 1 hour each

- Approximately 4 hours of extra reading materials NB: this is subject to change. If the course content increases there will be more hours added to your certificate.

There is no actual qualification associated with having completed 'The Breathing Knowledge' alone. However, it will equip you with the theoretical prior learning required to become a 'Level One Certified BreathCoach' after you have completed 'The Breathing Experience,' which forms the other part of the 'Mini Residency in Breathing Physiology and Breathing Training Part 1.'

Upon completion of the Mini Residency in Breathing Physiology and Breathing Training Part 1 students have enough knowledge and experience to begin 'breathing training' with very simple cases such as providing assistance with correction of mouth breathing, snoring, mild sleep apnoea in cases where there are no co-morbidities present.

To become a 'Level Two Certified BreathCoach,' examinations must be passed in the 'BreathCoach Examinations Course'.

Learning is a life-long journey and there are many places and people to learn from. At BreathCoach we recommend that those who have completed 'The Breathing Knowledge' go on to complete 'The Breathing Experience'

'The Breathing Experience' will give you the experience of being a 'breathing client'. During this, you will feel what it is like to go through a classic Buteyko Institute Method (BIM) breathing training course, with some added bonuses from the BreathCoach philosophy which includes a greater focus on lifestyle choices.

Once you have completed both 'The Breathing Knowledge' and 'The Breathing Experience' you will have completed The BreathCoach 'Mini Residency in Breathing Physiology and Breathing Training' Part 1.' You can then call yourself a BreathCoach Certified 'Level 1 Breathing Educator'.... That's when the fun begins!

Upon completion of the Mini Residency in Breathing Physiology and Breathing Training Part 1 students are equiped to begin 'breathing training' with very simple cases such as providing assistance with correction of mouth breathing, snoring, mild sleep apnoea in cases where there are no co-morbidities present.

There are many books centred around the breath.

Please note that the Mini Residency in Breathing Physiology and Breathing Training is focussed on The Buteyko Institute Method, not on the Wim Hof Method. To experience the kind of breathing exercises used by the Wim Hof Method we suggest you consider attending a retreat with Breathe Health Retreats. To learn to be a Wim Hof instructor we suggest you go contact the Wim Hof Academy where Dan Hanson learned.
