A Transformational Path
To facilitate breathwork is to hold sacred space for others in their most vulnerable and powerful unfolding. It is both an honor and a profound responsibility. As a somatic and transpersonal healing modality, it requires not only an understanding of breathing physiology, the nervous system, and trauma—but the capacity to meet each person with presence, discernment, and care.
The Kaisora Breathwork Facilitator Training is designed for individuals who are mature in their own journey of healing and personal development, and who feel called to share breathwork as a path of service and awakening. The training is experiential, non-dogmatic, and deeply integrative—bridging grounded science and trauma-informed practice with the energetic and spiritual dimensions of expanded-state healing.
We offer three progressive levels of training to support your development as a safe, skillful, and attuned guide:
ONLINE & IN-PERSON (SEATTLE) | 3 days | 18-20 hours + reading
Richer than a standard “introductory” course, this immersive training offers a deep exploration into the art, science, and soul of breathwork. You’ll learn how conscious connected breathwork fits within the wider landscape of breath practices, and gain a grounded understanding of the breath’s relationship with the nervous system. With attention to both trauma-informed care and the somatic and spiritual dimensions of experience, you’ll study how to structure and verbally guide breathwork journeys that support safety, integration, and transformation. Ideal for therapists, coaches, bodyworkers, and seekers alike, Level One provides the essential foundations for stepping into the role of facilitator.
LEVEL ONE: Foundations of Facilitation
Upcoming Trainings:
March 13-15, 2026 | Seattle
May 15-17, 2026 | Online
July 15-17, 2026 | Seattle
September 18-20, 2026 | Online
LEVEL TWO: Facilitation Practicum
IN-PERSON (RESIDENTIAL & NON-RESIDENTIAL) | 5 days | 36+ hours + reading
Level Two is a hands-on immersion that bridges knowledge into embodied skill. Through direct practice in both one-on-one and group settings, you’ll learn to track nervous system regulation, offer supportive touch, and attune to the energetic field of a breather. This training is designed to cultivate your intuitive presence and strengthen your confidence as a facilitator, while receiving guidance and feedback in real time.
Upcoming Trainings:
February 16-20, 2026 | Seattle (non-residential)
October 12-16, 2026 | Seattle (non-residential)
LEVEL THREE: Facilitation Practicum
ONLINE | 4+ Months
The Level Three Mentorship is a personalized bridge from training to professional practice. Over several months, you will facilitate a minimum of twelve client sessions within your community while receiving ongoing mentorship, feedback, and support from Tai. Together with a small cohort, you’ll deepen your capacity to navigate the complexities of facilitation—integrating the skills, ethics, and presence required to guide this work with maturity, integrity, and care.
Upcoming Trainings:
March – June, 2026 | Online
November 2026 – February, 2027 | Online
KAISORA CERTIFICATION
Graduates of Level Three are recognized as Kaisora Trained Practitioners, and may begin offering sessions independently. For those wishing to represent Kaisora publicly as a Certified Kaisora Breathwork Facilitator, additional mentorship and supervision may be required.
Certification is not a guaranteed outcome of Level Three—it is a deeper invitation. You’ll work closely with Tai to refine your facilitation skills, receive detailed feedback on client and group sessions, and demonstrate your ability to hold space with integrity, discernment, and care. This may include reviewing recorded sessions, assisting in group settings, and exploring nuanced aspects of practice and presence.
There is no fixed timeline for certification. It unfolds through mutual recognition between teacher and practitioner, guided by your readiness to embody and uphold the values of this work. Upon certification, you will be granted the title Certified Kaisora Breathwork Facilitator and be listed in the Kaisora Directory.
CURRICULUM HIGHLIGHTS
Our training bridges science and mysticism, blending nervous system physiology and trauma-informed care with the soulful, expanded-state dimensions of breathwork. This integrative approach prepares facilitators to guide with both knowledge and reverence, supporting safe, authentic, and transformative experiences.
-
Explore the roots and range of breathwork practices—from yogic pranayama and clinical approaches to Holotropic, Rebirthing, and Kaisora. Learn how different styles impact the body and psyche, and why a “one-size-fits-all” approach is limiting. This perspective will help you orient breathwork within its broader context and articulate its unique value as a healing modality.
-
It’s imperative to understand how altering the breath affects the body, nervous system, and arousal response so that you can guide skillfully and safely. You will learn the anatomy and physiology of respiration, including the mechanical and chemical mechanisms of breathing and how breath alteration affects oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, blood pH, and other physiological responses, including the common experience of tetany. This foundation will help you address questions about your clients’ breathwork experience, and your understanding of why certain conditions are contraindicated for breathwork.
-
Learn how the breath interacts with nervous system regulation, and how to assess states of arousal during a session. Learn to support productive journeys that allow the system to complete cycles of stress, tension, and release. This foundation equips you to meet clients where they are and offer practices that enhance resilience, safety, and integration.
-
Develop the awareness and skills to recognize how trauma is held in the body, and how to support breathers with compassion and discernment. Learn when breathwork may not be appropriate, and how to create containers that prioritize safety, consent, and empowerment. This includes understanding the body’s natural responses to trauma and how to gently support repair rather than retraumatization
-
Practice the core skills of guiding breathwork—trauma-informed verbal cues, therapeutic and supportive touch, and subtle energetic awareness. Learn when and how to use these tools to deepen safety, connection, and transformation without overwhelming or disrupting the process. You’ll leave with a toolkit of facilitation practices you can confidently adapt to each unique individual and setting
-
Discover how to structure the arc of a breathwork session, from opening through activation, emotional processing, and rest. You’ll also learn to curate immersive soundtracks that mirror and enhance these phases—using music as an ally for safety, depth, and transformation.
-
Discover practices to remain clear, grounded, and well-resourced when working with expanded states. Learn to set energetic boundaries, close sessions skillfully, and support your clients in integrating what arises. These practices will also help you sustain your own vitality and presence as a facilitator over time.
-
Breathwork can open the door to expanded and transpersonal states. Explore how to skillfully prepare the container, honor the mystery of the work, and guide clients in integrating spiritual or non-ordinary experiences into their daily lives. This module emphasizes humility, reverence, and discernment in supporting experiences that may be both profound and delicate.
-
Learn how to introduce breathwork in a way that empowers participants and sets them up for the highest outcome. You’ll practice how to speak about breathwork, offer clear orientation, establish group agreements, and create an atmosphere of consent, safety, and trust.
-
Gain confidence facilitating in different formats—whether working with individuals, couples, or groups, and whether online or in-person. Learn how to adapt your approach to each context, support meaningful intention-setting, and guide integration sharing that helps participants carry their insights into daily life.
-
Examine the inherent responsibilities of guiding others in vulnerable states. We’ll explore ethical considerations, informed consent, facilitator–client dynamics, and the deep honor of holding this role. Special attention is given to power dynamics, boundaries, and how to maintain right relationship in the work.
-
Receive practical guidance to launch your work with confidence—including client intake processes, waivers, liability insurance, and business licensing. Learn how to create structures that protect both you and your clients, while conveying professionalism and care. These foundations will allow you to build a practice rooted in safety, sustainability, and trust.
This work is more than a curriculum—it’s a path of transformation. Each level of training invites you deeper into your own self-knowing and capacity to hold space for others with humility, presence, and care. You won’t just learn how to guide others—you’ll be guided yourself, in community, through direct experience, dialogue, and mentorship.
Kaisora is not a one-size-fits-all method. It honors your unique voice and medicine as a facilitator. Our goal is not to produce carbon-copy practitioners, but to support each individual in cultivating their own way of offering breathwork—with integrity, discernment, and trust in the wisdom that lives within.

FAQs
-
This training prepares you to facilitate Kaisora Breathwork, a form of conscious connected breathwork or “overbreathing” practice.
In our review of the “Landscape of Breathwork,” we will explore how this style of breathwork sits in relationship to other forms of breathwork, including yogic pranayama, Buteyko Breathing, and approaches like Wim Hof. However, the training does NOT include instruction or facilitation of these styles of breathwork.
The training will prepare you to facilitate “experiential breathwork sessions” that are typically around 60-minutes in length and engage a 3-part breathing pattern to induce expanded states of consciousness and somatic release.
Before registering for this training, please experience a Kaisora Breathwork session with Kaisora Founder and Teacher Trainer, Tai Hubbert, to get a feel for the Kaisora approach and experience.
-
Yes, you are welcome to register for the Level One Foundations of Facilitation to deepen your understanding of breathwork and to enrich your personal practice.
The training focuses heavily on trauma-informed facilitation and holding safer spaces for somatic and expanded state healing work, which translates beautifully to any wellness-oriented professional work.
Psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, psychedelic-assisted therapists, and others working in the field of mental health and healing are encouraged to take the Level One program to inform your understanding of breathwork and confidence in referring clients to this work.
The Level Two and Three trainings are reserved for those with the intention to facilitate breathwork.
-
Ultimately, it is your decision as to when and in what context you begin facilitating breathwork, and that will be influenced by the nature of your own path of personal and professional development.
Kaisora recommends completion of Level Two before facilitating sessions, as that will give you the hands-on experience that is critical for facilitating a somatic process like breathwork.
You are not permitted to facilitate “Kaisora Breathwork” sessions until you are certified after completion of Level Three. You are permitted to facilitate general breathwork sessions noting your training credentials.
-
Yes! Kaisora welcomes many participants who have trained with other schools and facilitators of breathwork, and who wish to deepen their competency and skill in specific areas (such as trauma-informed facilitation), receive more personalized mentorship and support, or who resonate with the Kaisora approach.
Regardless of prior training or background, Kaisora requires completion of Level One before participation in Level Two or Three.
-
Yes! However, please note that Level Two is by application and interview only, so it’s recommended that you submit the Level Two application and then schedule an informational interview with Kaisora Founder, Tai Hubbert, to explore alignment for training past Level One.
-
The full Kaisora Breathwork training pathway—from Level One through Level Three—typically takes 1 to 2 years to complete, depending on the timing and availability of each level and your personal pace. We offer six Level One trainings per year, one to two Level Two trainings, and one Level Three cohort annually.
In some cases, students are able to move through all three levels in under a year if the timing aligns and they feel ready to step in fully. Others may choose to space out their training to integrate and deepen at their own rhythm. There’s no rush—each path is honored.
That said, we recommend beginning Level Three soon after completing Level Two while your momentum, confidence, and learning are fresh. This helps you more easily transition into real-world practice while being held in the support of mentorship.
-
While there are no formal pre-requisites for Level One, it is well-aligned for wellness practitioners (therapists, yoga teachers, life coaches, acupuncturists, coaches, shamanic practitioners, etc.) seeking to integrate breathwork into their practice, and for those mature in their own path of personal development who wish to share this work.
it is also recommended that you have a history of personal breathwork practice, and that you register only AFTER you have experienced several Kaisora breathwork sessions.
Please note that while this program will inherently support individual healing and personal work, it is not appropriate for those currently in crisis or needing more individual therapeutic and healing support.
-
There is no primary credentialing body for breathwork facilitator certification and thus you’ll find everything from weekend certification programs to 400-hr programs with extensive practicum experience. As such, it’s critical that you find a training program that gives you the skill, knowledge, and confidence to facilitate safely, responsibly, and confidently.
Certificates of training will be given upon completion of each level of the Kaisora Training, which can be used to present your qualifications as a facilitator. You can reference being “Level One/Two/Three Trained.”
Formal Kaisora Breathwork Facilitator Certification is at the discretion of Kaisora founder, Tai Hubbert, upon completion of Level Three.
Kaisora Breathwork is an intimate and selective training program, and certification is only offered to those practitioners who demonstrate the maturity and competency to represent Kaisora Breathwork in the community. Additional facilitation experience and mentorship may be required after completion of Level Three.
If you would like to pursue certification with Kaisora Breathwork, it is recommended that you register for Level One to assess alignment for additional levels of training. You can also request an informational interview before registering to discuss the Kaisora process and approach, and explore alignment.
