“Alan is a master of his craft. I’m very glad I made the decision to train with him and I have experienced different trainings, different modalities within breathwork. I send pretty much everybody to Alan”

“The training is just incredible. You’re in this lovely small nurtured group, so you don’t feel like you’re lost in a big group or a big classroom. You’re fully supported the whole way through. I just can’t thank Alan enough for his mentorship and teaching”

“The training was fun, profound, challenging, and eye-opening in all areas, personal/ professional. I felt supported by Alan’s amazing mentoring and expertise and Natalia’s encouraging online guidance. I love the connections I made and where I’m going”

“Working with Alan was an incredible experience. Through his guidance, I gained a much deeper understanding of my psyche, patterns of behaviour and the light and dark shadows of my personality. He has an innate ability to instil trust and he approaches teaching with a unique warmth and genuine care”

“The training exceeded all my expectations. I felt supported, seen, and held in a way I hadn’t experienced before in any other training. I feel more whole. Alan’s mission to share the healing power of breathwork is moving and inspiring. He’s not hands- off or distant but a warm and compassionate teacher”

“Finding Alan and Breathguru was the icing on the cake. It was the missing piece of my triangle of breathwork education. And to me, it’s been the most powerful, it really has changed everything for me. I couldn’t recommend it enough”

“The best investment I have ever made in myself … with Alan’s guidance, I entered into a new realm where I could deepen and form a working relationship with my body and my true self. The course’s layout is planned beautifully, with lots of practical work … a life-changing experience”

Between 10 and 15 hours. The training involves a weekly 90-minute online workshop, regular group work and a daily 30-minute self-practice, alongside home study, case studies and practical experience at Breathguru® workshops. The overall commitment varies throughout the programme, particularly around the residential modules and practical training.

This is an immersive professional training that takes the time needed to develop the knowledge, experience and practical skills required to become a qualified breath coach, while also creating the opportunity for significant personal growth.

Yes. Two mandatory residential modules in Lanzarote begin and end the training programme.

You’ll experience personal coaching relating to your facilitation skills from Alan in small groups of no more than 6 trainees, with time in nature and a nourishing vegan menu prepared by our resident chef.

You’ll have regular meetings with Alan and the group, and with Natalia and the group. You’ll also have 24/7 access to Alan via WhatsApp for support between sessions.

The training is deliberately kept to small groups of no more than 6 people. Having experienced anonymous large-group trainings himself, Alan designed his training with small intakes to honour each participant’s journey and needs.

Our next Training begins in January 2027. See our Training page for more details.

That’s entirely up to you. The Breathguru® training is vocational, so once you graduate you’ll be qualified to initiate or enhance a career in breathwork. Equally, some people choose to use the training purely for self-development, without pursuing it as a career. Both are equally valid ways to use the training.
