We would love to explain what Breathwork is. It is becoming increasingly difficult as there are a number of different techniques offered today.

We would prefer to return to the essence and origin of the name Breathwork, which has its root in BREATHING.
It encompasses all breathing techniques, from Pranayama to Rebirthing, Holotropic, Shamanic, etc., and has existed since the dawn of time.

The main mission of the SwissBreathwork Academy is to enable Breathwork to contribute to collective well-being while remaining safe. That’s why SB covers 4 methods taught and practised by SwissBreathwork training practitioners.
Breathwork is currently undergoing exponential growth, in line with our collective expansion. And it’s invaluable, the world needs it.

However, it must be shared, taught and initiated with accuracy, sensibility and commitment, supported by a safe framework. In our opinion, one of the most important apects of Breathwork is the posture of the practitioner who opens the space for the practice. It’s not a game, it’s a mission and an extremely powerful practice.
Our training paths enable you to develop and acquire the necessary skills.
A training path that requires commitment to oneself and to others. It is primarily experience based, in-depth and requires a willingness to accept profound personal development. A practitioner needs to develop self-confidence and a high level of personal awareness.

Our training paths are run by practitioners with several years of experience who have all undergone a different kind of training. Creating this synergy enables the SwissBreathwork Academy to be safe, unique and thorough.
A Swiss certification has been created to meet international Breathwork standards, and will be issued to practitioners who have followed our training paths and passed the certification exam.
Above all, we want to bring accuracy, sensibility, fairness and consistency to the practice of Breathwork in Switzerland and around the world.
