Breath Coach Pranayama Training

Learn how to regulate your nervous system and coach others

April 12th-13th 2025

Join us for this 20 hr CPD training. Learn how to regulate your nervous system and reset your autopilot out of stress and tension using breathing techniques. Learn how to assess other people’s breath, gather information about their mental and physical health, and develop personalised breathing programmes to help them reset.

Pranayama offers us a way to shut down the monkey mind, which can become stuck in limiting beliefs, negative self talk and old patterns of behaviour due to stress and tension. It helps people to shift out of negative mental imprints and connect spontaneously with an embodied sense of well-being.

According to the New Yoga Times, breath work is ‘the new yoga’. The Wellness Industry is growing at an annual rate of 6% and breath work is trending as the number one wellness modality globally since 2019. Breathing correctly can make a huge difference in the quality of people’s lives. It is an ancient healing tooling that is very much needed in our modern world. Join us and be a part of our Breath-Coach team!

" The Green Lotus Yoga Breath Coach Training was an amazing and eye opening experience. Carol is an incredible teacher. Understanding our breath on this deeper level has helped me with my own practice and overall wellbeing. It's an incredible gift to be able to give yourself and others. Thank you Carol for such a fantastic course. I can't wait for the next one!"

Breath Coach with Carol at Green Lotus was one of my favourite yoga trainings to date. Learning about the Breath and Breath practices in a unique way that has since I have trained absolutely transformed the way I teach breathing exercises. It also gave me the chance to connect deeper with my own breath practices. The training covers the science of breathing in a well to understand way and modules are also covering breath techniques for anxiety, trauma, stress relevant to the world we live in today. Subtle Energetics are also included and this really helps to go deeper with practice. I really loved this training and feel very equipped to work in one to one settings facilitating people to learn to breathe. I can not recommend Breath Coach enough and feel very lucky to be on the 300 hour training at Green Lotus.

" The breath coach training was a breath of fresh air -pun intended. I really loved how Carol merged the ancient tradition of pranayama with modern science and music. I am coming out of it feeling empowered in my life and my teaching, with really valuable tools. Carol is extremely knowledgeable and the training was taught with passion and humour, which made it an even more enjoyable experience!"
