"Through participating in breathworks each intensive, and receiving a behind the scenes experience of group facilitation, the Maitri Breathwork Facilitator Certification Program helped me access another level of transformation, both personally and professionally." SD
"Maitri Breathwork Training increased my awareness of the energetic forces that surround us and gave me more trust in my intuition. With love and gratitude for the spirit of Maitri, we learned techniques for opening channels that allow breathers to recognize and release what does not serve them. Learning how to set a safe container for this powerful work was the greatest blessing of the Maitri Breathwork certification training: the container is our protection and our support." ES
"The training not only grew me as a facilitator of Maitri Breathwork, a powerful form of healing, it also helped me develop the capacity to skillfully cultivate my life." DB
