One Breath Institute

About this time last year I felt a pull toward exploring breathwork - both for myself and as something I could begin offering to my clients. Mind you, I had NO KNOWLEDGE of what breathwork is. I truly mean that - zero knowledge. I had no background in meditation, yoga or anything of the like. To the honest, I avoided those practices because I’m one of those go, go, go types who doesn’t make slowing down a priority. But for some reason I felt compelled to figure out what this breathwork thing was all about.I started by looking to the internet for information and came across a few training options. I was nearly convinced that I’d figured out which school I was going to go with, but I kept dragging my feet with completing the sign up and committing to the school. That’s when I came across One Breath Institute. I read as much as I could on the website and scheduled an interview with Debbie, the first of which I had to reschedule, because well, go, go, go was still my modus operandi. Ultimately I had my Zoom call with her and it was obvious why I’d been struggling to take final action with the other school. I came to my call with Debbie with the frenetic energy I so often carried…back then. She recognized it and I don’t know exactly WHAT happened during that call, but I do know that by the time that call ended I was as sure of OBI as I’d been about anything. Her presence was so peaceful, so insightful, so aware and so reflective of what I knew I wanted for myself, and so, I signed up.Fast forward several weeks and my cohort began with Module 1: The Personal Journey. I remember that first Zoom class; I was so green, so new to this, so clueless. Yet the screen was filled with people who’d all come with prior breathwork experience. Seriously, I hadn’t even tried a single session of breathwork at this point. It wasn’t until the end of that class or maybe it was the next class that I had my first breathe. It took some time for me to learn that with OBI there is no right way to breathe but once that clicked for me, and even before it clicked really, I was hooked. I was feeling myself change in ways I’d so long been wanting yet also so long been avoiding, though I didn’t realize it. That is the power of OBI’s trauma-informed Introspective Breathwork Therapy®️.Throughout the training and beyond (because once you’re in - you’re family) OBI provides to you a ridiculously comprehensive library of videos, articles, you name it - that supplement your weekly classes and beyond. There is NOTHING breathwork-related and relevant to getting your breathwork business off the ground that the OBI curriculum and additional resources do not touch upon. I’ve done several trainings and certifications and this one is set up unlike any I’ve seen.I’ve recently completed my 9-month facilitator training and have come away someone so changed by the process that I’m in awe. I’ve also come away having spent a lot of time with my instructors and students in my cohort and I choose to believe that those relationships will last a lifetime. I’m terribly excited to bring all that I’ve learned to my existing clients, to new clients, to anyone who finds me and to continue to gift MYSELF the way of life that I’ve found in the practice of OBI’s IBT®️.
