Breathing Space’s Unique Approach to Breathwork Facilitator Training
Becoming a breathwork facilitator is more than just learning breathing techniques—it’s a deeply personal journey of growth, discovery, and transformation. At Breathing Space, we know that this path is as unique as the individuals who walk it, which is why our approach to facilitator training is anything but one-size-fits-all.
Led by Benedict Beaumont, a passionate cheerleader for every student, our program is built on a foundation of support, inclusivity, and empowerment. We believe in holding space for you when you’re unsure, helping you find your voice as a facilitator, and celebrating the amazingness of real humans—not cookie-cutter copies.
From hands-on, experiential learning to trauma-informed practices and ongoing career pathways, Breathing Space offers a unique approach designed to help you grow, thrive, and embody the breathwork facilitator you’re meant to be.
So, if you’re ready to take the next step in your journey and become part of a supportive community that believes in you even when you don’t, let’s explore how we can help you get there.

Connection, Empowerment, Accessibility, and Exploration: The Pillars of Breathing Space
At Breathing Space, we don’t just train breathwork facilitators—we nurture individuals, foster communities, and create pathways to healing that are grounded in compassion, inclusivity, and curiosity. Our unique approach is built on four foundational pillars: Connection, Empowerment, Accessibility, and Exploration. These values guide everything we do, shaping the way we teach, support, and inspire.
Connection: Healing in Community
We believe in the transformative power of connection.
Breathing Together:
At Breathing Space, we recognise that healing doesn’t happen in isolation. Our community is a sanctuary where every participant is seen, heard, and valued.
Through shared breathwork experiences, we create bonds that support individual and collective growth.
A Place to Belong:
Breathing Space isn’t just a training program—it’s a space where everyone belongs, regardless of their background or experience.
Here, you’re not just a student; you’re part of a family that breathes, heals, and rises together.
Empowerment: You Are Your Own Greatest Teacher
We don’t create healers; we help you discover the healer within.
Your Journey, Your Strength:
At Breathing Space, we equip you with tools, techniques, and knowledge, but the journey is yours. We believe you are your own best teacher, and our role is to walk beside you, offering guidance and support.
Accountability with Compassion:
We hold space for your growth and hold you to account, helping you step into your full potential. This is about building confidence, resilience, and the capacity to lead others.
Embracing Uniqueness:
There’s no one way to be a breathwork facilitator. We encourage you to embody the facilitator that’s uniquely you, celebrating your individuality and strengths.
Accessibility: Breathwork for All
Healing isn’t a privilege—it’s a birthright.
Breaking Down Barriers:
We’re committed to ensuring that breathwork is accessible to everyone, not just the privileged few.
Through free sessions, bursaries, and affordable resources, we make sure that if you seek breathwork, you can find it.
Diversity and Inclusivity:
Our spaces are trauma-informed and welcoming to all. We celebrate diversity, ensuring that everyone feels safe and supported on their journey.
Exploration: Discovering Your Path
Breathwork is a journey of curiosity and courage.
Encouraging Self-Discovery:
We believe in creating space for you to explore the transformative power of breathwork at your own pace.
This is about unlocking your potential, guided by the wisdom that already resides within you.
Rooted in Science, Open to Mystery:
While our training is grounded in science, we honour the mystery and art of breathwork. We encourage you to explore all facets of the practice, from the tangible to the ineffable.
More Than Breathwork
At Breathing Space, these pillars go beyond breathwork—they’re a blueprint for living a life of purpose, connection, and self-discovery. We also pledge to:
Uphold Quality:
With GPBA certification and a 400-hour curriculum, we offer the highest standards of breathwork training.
Foster Sustainability:
We provide practices and career pathways that nurture lasting well-being and professional growth.
Celebrate Inclusivity:
Our spaces are designed to ensure that every voice matters, fostering a sense of belonging for all.
Breathing Space isn’t just about teaching techniques—it’s about empowering you to live a life that embodies connection, empowerment, accessibility, and exploration.
Hands-On Learning: The Heart of Our Training Philosophy
At Breathing Space, we believe that the best way to learn breathwork is by doing it. While theory and knowledge are essential, it’s the hands-on experience that truly equips you to step into your role as a confident, capable facilitator. Our approach is designed to immerse you in the practice, blending experiential learning with personal growth to ensure you don’t just understand breathwork—you embody it.
Why We Prioritise Doing Over Watching
Experience Builds Confidence:
Facilitating breathwork isn’t something you can fully grasp from a book or lecture. It’s about being present, responsive, and grounded in the moment, which only comes from practice.
Our program is built around hands-on sessions where you’ll lead, participate, and reflect, growing your skills through real-world application.
The Power of Practice:
Breathwork is an art as much as a science. By actively facilitating and participating in sessions, you’ll develop the intuitive skills needed to guide others effectively.
Rooted in Science, Honouring the Mystery
We take a holistic approach to training, combining scientific understanding with a deep respect for the art and mystery of breathwork:
Science-Based Techniques:
Learn the anatomy, physiology, and psychology of breathwork, gaining a clear understanding of how and why it works.
Our curriculum is grounded in evidence, ensuring you have the knowledge to practice confidently and safely.
Honouring the Mystery:
Breathwork is more than measurable outcomes—it’s a journey into the unknown. We encourage you to embrace the unexplainable aspects of breathwork that make it so profoundly transformative.
Trauma-Informed Practices for Safety and Sensitivity
Breathwork has the power to touch deep emotional and psychological layers, which is why safety is at the core of our training:
Creating Safe Spaces:
Learn how to hold space for participants with sensitivity and care, ensuring that everyone feels secure in their experience.
Adapting to Individual Needs:
We teach you how to modify practices for diverse participants, making breathwork accessible and safe for all.
Supporting Emotional Release:
Gain the skills to guide participants through emotional processes with compassion, without pushing or forcing.
The Inner Journey of a Facilitator
To guide others, you must be willing to explore your own inner world.
Personal Growth as a Foundation:
Our training encourages you to go on your own journey of healing and self-discovery, helping you connect with the tender parts of yourself in a safe and supportive way.
This isn’t about ripping open wounds; it’s about cultivating the courage and compassion to explore your inner depths.
Leading by Example:
When you’ve done the work yourself, you’re better equipped to hold space for others as they embark on their journeys.
Learning Together, Growing Together
Hands-on learning isn’t just about facilitating—it’s also about connection and collaboration:
Peer-Led Practice:
Practice facilitating with fellow trainees in a supportive environment where you can give and receive feedback.
Learning Through Community:
Share experiences, challenges, and triumphs with a group of like-minded individuals, building a sense of belonging and support.
Breathing Space’s hands-on approach ensures that you graduate not just with knowledge, but with the confidence and embodied skills to guide others in transformative breathwork journeys.
