LEVEL 2: FACILITATION PRACTICUM

Breathwork Facilitator Training

In Level Two, the teachings come alive through direct experience. You will breathe, you will guide, and you will begin to understand what it truly means to hold space for another human being in their most vulnerable and powerful unfolding.

This is a highly experiential training. You’ll practice facilitating one-on-one sessions, guiding a partner through a full breathwork journey, and co-facilitating in a group setting. You’ll learn to work with therapeutic touch, track nervous system cues, and respond to what’s arising in real time. Direct feedback and mentorship from the training faculty will help you refine your approach, build confidence, and grow in integrity as a facilitator.

Level Two is not only a training, but a ceremony in itself—a transformational space where the inner facilitator begins to root and blossom. You’ll be supported in discovering your own unique voice and medicine as a guide, grounded in trauma-informed practice, discernment, and embodied presence.

This is a powerful next step for those called to bring breathwork into their practice, community, or path of service—and for anyone ready to deepen in the art of holding space with care, clarity, and humility.

“The week spent in the immersion was truly soul reviving and inspiring. The devoted and concentrated time spent away from other distractions allowed for a clarity of focus that allowed a truly deep experience.

Tai generously shared her knowledge and skill in ways that surpassed expectation. I feel prepared to facilitate and share this work with others, and feel like I have a network and resources to continue learning from. Studying with Tai was an amazing experience.”

Training Curriculum

  • A skilled facilitator learns to see and sense beneath the surface—tracking breath patterns, nervous system regulation, and subtle cues in body language and energy. In this training, you’ll refine your ability to observe without assumption, listen with your whole body, and recognize patterns that inform how best to support the breather. You’ll practice somatic assessment in both 1:1 and group formats, learning how to attune to each breather’s unique rhythm and needs.

  • Touch, when offered skillfully and with consent, can be a powerful tool to deepen safety, connection, and release. You’ll learn the principles of trauma-informed, intentional touch—supportive, instructive, invitational, and energetic—and how to apply hands-on techniques to support common breathing patterns, tension areas, and arousal states. Practice sessions will help you refine sensitivity, presence, and quality of contact.

    You’ll gain practical experience giving and receiving touch in various areas of the body, with a strong emphasis on obtaining clear consent and reading verbal and nonverbal cues. We’ll also explore how to respond with touch to common breathing patterns and different states of nervous system arousal—supporting grounding, opening, or regulation as needed.

    Throughout the training, you’ll receive valuable feedback from faculty and client partners to refine your presence and touch with integrity, responsiveness, and respect for each person’s unique process.

  • Breathwork often opens the door to the subtle body and energetic field. You’ll explore simple and effective ways to track and support the energetic dimension of a session—such as scanning for areas of density or congestion, inviting awareness to specific parts of the body, and offering subtle energetic guidance or grounding. This is about working in collaboration with your client’s inner intelligence, with humility and attunement.

  • Expanded state work can open both facilitator and client to strong emotional and energetic transmissions. You’ll learn how to stay grounded, clear, and resourced as a facilitator—and how to support your clients in doing the same. Topics include energetic boundaries, resourcing techniques, session closing rituals, and practices for clearing and protecting the space before, during, and after a session.

  • You’ll have the opportunity to facilitate partnered and group sessions while receiving direct observation and feedback from the training faculty. This hands-on mentorship is designed to help you grow in confidence, deepen your presence, and refine your approach as a facilitator. Feedback is offered with care, clarity, and respect for your unique style—helping you translate what you’ve learned into embodied, real-world skill.

Training Format

IN-PERSON

3 days | 10:00am-5:00pm Pacific | 21 contact hours + reading

For those who prefer in-person learning, the Foundations Training is offered as a 3-day program in Seattle.

Limited to just 8 participants, this format offers a spacious and relational learning environment, where participants can engage deeply with the material through live teaching, guided ceremony, and meaningful group dialogue. While this format is primarily didactic—with minimal hands-on facilitation practice—it offers a rich opportunity to absorb and integrate the foundational principles of Kaisora Breathwork in a grounded, embodied way.

What’s Included

TRAINING MANUAL

Building on the comprehensive foundation of Level One, the Level Two manual offers detailed guidance on integrating touch into breathwork sessions. It includes instruction on therapeutic touch techniques, acupressure points, and subtle body awareness.

Level Two participants receive a curated bundle of practical tools to support their growth as facilitators—including several full-length journey soundtracks (playlists from the week-long training), sample session outlines, sample verbal cues, and scripts for introducing breathwork in both private and group settings.

FACILITATION RESOURCES

Graduates of Level Two and beyond are invited to join the Kaisora Facilitator Circle—a monthly 2-hour online gathering designed to support continued growth, connection, and refinement in your facilitation path. These sessions offer space to share facilitation experiences, discuss challenges and insights, explore upcoming opportunities to assist or collaborate, and receive a 45-minute guided breath session led by a fellow facilitator. As part of your Level Two tuition, your first year of membership is included.

FACILITATION CIRCLE ACCESS

Completion of Level One is required to apply for Level Two. While not mandatory, we recommend that applicants have at least one year of personal experience with conscious breathwork, and a regular practice engaging the breath as a tool for healing and self-awareness.

This training is best suited for individuals who are psychologically grounded, mature in their own inner work, and stable in their life circumstances. If you are in the midst of a major life transition, recent trauma, or emotional instability, we recommend waiting until you feel more resourced to enter this deep and immersive container.

Level Two is an application-based training to ensure alignment and readiness for the intimate, experiential nature of the practicum. We welcome practitioners who feel genuinely called to share this work in a therapeutic and soul-centered way—whether as therapists, coaches, bodyworkers, or guides in your unique community.

Pre-Requisites & Alignment

“I had my doubts about signing up for the training and going all the way to Costa Rica. It was probably the best decision I’ve ever made. Tai is so eloquent and gentle in her delivery with all of the information we learned during training. Every last detail was perfect. I would recommend again and again!”

– TIFFANY O.

Meet your Lead Trainers

The Level Two training is instructed by lead faculty Tai Hubbert and Sharon Barto. Together, they bring decades of experience, grounded presence, and heart-centered leadership to the training space.

Tai Hubbert

Tai Hubbert is the founder of Kaisora Breathwork and the lead trainer of its facilitator certification program. She brings over a decade of full-time private practice and a wealth of experiential knowledge from guiding thousands of sessions across all formats—online and in-person, one-on-one, group, and corporate.

Tai shares this work from the heart, with a sincere desire to help others reconnect to the innate wisdom of the body, psyche, and soul—and to the Divine within.

FAQs

  • The core curriculum is the same in both formats. The primary difference lies in the container. Residential retreats offer the opportunity to step away from daily responsibilities and immerse yourself fully in the ceremonial space of the training—living, learning, and deepening in shared community. Without the logistics of commuting, meal planning, or tending to outside commitments, many find it easier to drop into the experience more fully.

    Non-residential trainings, on the other hand, offer greater flexibility and accessibility—especially for those with work or family responsibilities, or who are looking for a more affordable option. These programs still provide a rich and immersive training experience, held in an intimate and supportive environment.

  • Yes. While priority is given to those who feel called to share this work—whether in private practice, group settings, or integrated into retreats—Level Two is also a space of exploration. This is where you begin to discover whether facilitating breathwork truly resonates for you. You’ll gain hands-on experience, deepen your understanding of the work, and have the opportunity to discern if and how this path fits into your greater offering.

  • Kaisora welcomes many participants who have trained with other schools and facilitators and are seeking to deepen their skills in specific areas—such as trauma-informed facilitation, working with expanded states, or cultivating a more grounded and intuitive presence. Others are drawn to the unique ethos and orientation of the Kaisora approach.

    Regardless of prior training, all participants are required to complete Level One before entering Level Two. This ensures a shared foundation, language, and alignment with the core values and principles that guide this work.

  • Yes. All payment plans require an initial $300 non-refundable deposit to reserve your spot, with the remaining balance divided into monthly installments leading up to the training.

    All payments must be completed before the training begins. If you would benefit from a more customized payment schedule, please reach out—we’re happy to explore options whenever possible.

  • While some graduates of Level Two may begin to organically share breathwork in small or informal ways, Kaisora strongly encourages completion of Level Three before offering sessions in a professional capacity.

    Level Two does not include one-on-one mentorship or supervised practice, which are essential components of safe and skillful facilitation. Upon completion, you are welcome to reference that you have completed Level Two with Kaisora Breathwork, but you may not represent yourself as a Certified Kaisora Breathwork Facilitator until certification is awarded after Level Three.

    Our priority is supporting you to guide this work with deep integrity, safety, and care. Certification is not just about knowledge—it’s about readiness, and we’re here to walk that journey with you.
