Workshops & Training

A Note from Natalia: The following information indicates the workshops and training which is usually available, however I am currently taking some time out to settle into married life, and prepare for the arrival of our new baby! It is my intention to recommence breathwork training in due course, perhaps in the UK or even the USA. Also - for your interest in 2008 the UK hosts the Global Inspiration Conference for the first time - the biggest international breathwork conference in the World. I am the main organiser of this event and will be looking for enthusiastic volunteers, and people who are interested to attend this event which promotes breathwork techniques and trainers from all around the world - call me for more information.


Self-Mastery One

Self Mastery One 5-day residential focuses on how to achieve more of what you love in your life, in areas such as...

  1. Loving relationships - with self & others!
  2. Creative and exciting career prospects
  3. Financial wealth and prosperity
  4. Freedom from your past - addressing birth and early childhood experiences
We support a shift into a deeper level of self-awareness, using a range of dynamic transformational techniques, in a safe and supportive environment. The primary technique is conscious connected breathwork (also known as rebirthing). This is a powerful and yet gentle breathwork therapy based on ancient Yogic knowledge.

In addition to a daily breathwork session, we integrate personal experiences through art therapy, and free form dance and movement. Each day starts with a meditation practice.

Some participants have left this training knowing what they want to achieve for the first time in their lives! A few have gone on to train as breathwork practitioners after attending this course. SM1 is module 1 of the Breathwork Training Programme a year-long intensive practitioner training in breathwork.
