Breathwork Teacher Training
Featuring World-Leading Guest Teachers
Join our fifth Breathwork Teacher Training in Switzerland and experience the profound power of your breath.
Developed in collaboration with the University Hospital Basel and shaped by over a decade of international teaching — including long-standing partnerships with companies like On — this training is a true labor of love. It bridges science, practical application, and creative innovation across diverse settings: from sports and corporate environments to yoga, meditation, and personal transformation.
You’ll explore a full spectrum of breathwork methodologies in a training that’s both comprehensive and unique. Become a certified breathwork teacher in one of the fastest-growing and widely respected fields in wellbeing.
The Work Begins With Us — In This Training, We Transform Ourselves First So We Can Hold Space for Others.
Breathwork is one of the most efficient tools for regulating the mind, body, and nervous system — helping us shift from thinking to feeling, from head to body.
Grounded in physiology and embodied experience, breathwork can support mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. With a strong focus on human performance, autonomic nervous system regulation, embodiment practices, and psychosomatic emotional release, this breathwork teacher training offers a practical framework for understanding and working with stress, anxiety, focus, energy, and emotional patterns.
keur Method
Breathwork, Movement, and Sound
Our Breathwork Teacher Training places a strong emphasis on the science of breathwork — with the goal of transforming the brain and training both body and mind to deepen self-connection, to let the inner voice be heard — and from there, we go beyond.
We integrate contemporary breathwork practices, sound elements, and somatic movement. The keur Method is designed to restore balance, enhance resilience, and foster a deep inner connection, the foundation of our training philosophy.
Join our 90-hour highly intensive and state of the art Breathwork Teacher Training.
