Level 1 Breathwork Foundations (100hrs)
Welcome to this Journey of deepening exploration of the Breath
Enroll in Course
Breath carries with it the vital energy of life. It is the first thing we do when we are born, and is our constant companion through this life.
Learning how to consciously tune into the Breath is essential to presence. And yet, this is only the beginning. The Breath also offers sacred power. The ability to immediately and powerfully alter our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual experience.
“The Breath is a Sacred gift of life - an access point to vital energy, health and wellbeing
As you read these words, take a deep breath. Right down into your belly. Notice how your breath feels in this moment, and notice what emotions are present for you. Now, start to breathe slowly and deeply in through your nose, filling your belly. Release with a sigh.
And so it begins. You are practicing Breathwork. Beginning first with Breath Awareness, and then choosing to consciously engage the breath with Breath Practice.
This path you are walking is a very personal one. Tending to your own intimate relationship with the Breath.
LEVEL 1 BREATHWORK FOUNDATIONS TO LEVEL 2 BREATHWORK FACILITATOR PATH
The Level 1 Breathwork Foundations (100hrs) course is designed to help you begin your deepening experience. To bring you in close contact with your own experience of the Breath and to solidify your commitment of building intimacy with the Breath.
In this Foundational course, you will gain an appreciation for the magic of Breathwork and learn a variety of basic Breathwork techniques that will support your ongoing practice.
If you feel called to continue your journey in Breathwork and to share with others, you can choose to enrol in the Level 2 Breathwork Facilitator Path (200hrs) course. Both the Level 1 and Level 2 Breathwork courses, along with a practicum are required in order to receive certification as a 300hr Breathwork Facilitator.
SELF-PACED LEARNING EXPERIENCE (100 HRS)
We know that there are many ways to approach Online Learning and have found over the years that the Self-Paced option offers the most flexibility and opportunity for 'life' to happen as we move through the learning process.
The Level 1 Breathwork Foundations (100hrs) course is set up for you to move through the material in your own time. Offer yourself patience as you progress through the course material. Some exercises may be more challenging than others, and there will be necessary time for reflection as you move through the content.
As this is a Foundational course, you are not required to complete any of the quizzes provided. However, if you choose to progress on to the Level 2 Breathwork Facilitator Path (200hrs) you will be asked to go complete all of the quizzes in the Level 1 and Level 2 courses as well as a practicum in order to receive your full certification. A passing grade of 70% is required on all quizzes.
From the first day that you register, you have 2 calendar years to complete the program. Typically, you can easily move through the course in 1-3 months of dedicated part-time learning.

Your Instructor
Hello! I'm Caroline Stewart, a meditation and breathwork guide, entrepreneur, and creator of transformational courses for individuals and founders who are seeking a more aligned and meaningful way of living and working.
For over 20 years, I have been immersed in the world of health, wellness, and personal development. My work centres around helping people reconnect with their inner wisdom, cultivate presence, and create lives and businesses that reflect their deeper values and vision.
Meditation has been a central thread throughout my journey. As a certified meditation instructor and breathwork facilitator, I believe these practices are powerful tools for transformation. They offer a way to slow down, listen inwardly, and develop the clarity and courage needed to live and lead from a more authentic place.
Alongside my work in meditation and breathwork, I am also a lifelong entrepreneur. I have built and led multiple businesses in the wellness industry and have spent many years supporting heart-led founders as they grow their ideas into sustainable and meaningful ventures. Through my courses and programs, I share both the inner practices and practical insights that help people bring their vision into the world.
My teaching style blends mindfulness, embodied awareness, and real-world experience. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, I encourage students to explore their own inner knowing and develop practices that feel authentic and supportive for their lives.
Whether you are here to deepen your meditation practice, learn how to guide others, or explore new ways of creating and sharing your work in the world, my intention is to provide a grounded and supportive space for learning, growth, and discovery.
