400-hour Breathwork Training
Imagine…
Feeling so connected to your breath that it becomes a tool for less stress, more joy, and boosted creativity that you can access whenever you need it.
A learning environment designed to support you through a trauma informed lens, that teaches you how to offer the same support to your clients.
Helping your clients feel their feelings and release experiences and emotions they have been carrying their whole life.
What if…
you could do all of this in a community that centers people of diverse backgrounds and lived experiences?
A community that acknowledges systems of oppression?
A community that is gender-affirming and celebrates individuality?
You’ve felt the transformative buzz that breathwork brings.
Now, you want the confidence and tools to share the profound effects of breathwork.
But the breathwork trainings you’ve found so far?
They were missing a few things. Some major things…
Your non-negotiables—
Or maybe you just wilted a little bit every time you discovered a new certification, hoping it would be the one, only to find the training seemed to center on someone who didn’t reflect your life, values, or community…
🐝 a diverse faculty
🐝 trauma-informed care components
🐝 a commitment to accessibility

“I came to my BLS training with a significant skill set around holding space and caring for folks through deep, transformative experiences. Yet I still gained so much from this training! It was humbling and surprising to realize how much I had yet to learn, but Chauna made the process user-friendly, challenging yet gentle, and full of connection along the way.”
Breath Liberation Society offers a beeline to sharing breathwork with compassion, joy, and confidence.
Inclusive, diverse, trauma-informed breathwork Training committed to liberation & transformation through the breath.

“I was fortunate enough to be able to complete my first year with Breath Liberation Society learning from Chauna on a 1:1 mentor basis and now I am in the Advanced Training and Mentorship program. Learning from Chauna has been an incredibly powerful experience. As an RN and a facilitator of other healing modalities for the last 20 years, I am familiar and fairly well aware of working as a trauma informed/aware practitioner; but learning from Chauna and the BLS community has brought this level of understanding and awareness to another level. I appreciate the insight, the depth of understanding and the truly genuine care and attention to detail that Chauna provides in the BLS Breathwork Facilitation Training. Chauna has created an Apiary Library and Facilitator Playlist; giving the students access to different individuals in the Breathwork Facilitator community. This program creates an incredible learning experience not just from Chauna, but other individuals with different backgrounds and different approaches to facilitating breathwork. I am so proud and deeply honored to be part of BLS; this program has strengthened my personal practice, strengthened my facilitation in other areas of healing modalities and changed my life in such a profound way. I am so much more confident in holding space for others, stronger in my abilities and confidence, and more! I am so grateful to Chauna for the opportunity to learn from her and the individuals in the Apiary. This program has changed the way Breathwork is facilitated, and the approach the faclitators hold space; there is not another facilitator training program like this. I can't wait to continue to be part of Breath Liberation Society and I'm so excited for what is to come!”

“Breath Liberation Society changed my life at every level. The access to the Apiary and different approaches to breathwork showed, without dogma, that there are a multitude of ways to be a breathwork facilitator and that every single one can and should be built on a strong understanding of what it means to be truly trauma informed, and aware of your own gifts as a person and a guide for others.”
Shannon S.
The Breath Liberation Society advanced mentorship is a supportive and flexible way to deepen my practice of breathwork facilitation. The opportunity to hold space for other experienced breathworkers and facilitators-in-training is a privilege.
Learning with so many beautiful souls is a humbling and awesome experience. Chauna and the apiary have found the answer to an emerging question - how can we do this differently? By honoring diverse and deep generational wisdom. By offering multifaceted perspective on trauma. By committing to anti-racism, accessibility, and inclusion. From the moment I heard of Breath Liberation Society's approach, I knew that it would be the obvious choice for me. Anyone can learn to facilitate breathwork, but Breath Liberation Society fosters brilliant, intuitive, space holders.
