Accredited Breathwork Facilitator Training + 4-Day Snowy Mountains
Some things can’t be learned from a screen alone.
The way a room shifts when someone finally lets go. The quiet that follows a deep release. What it actually feels like to hold space for someone in one of the most vulnerable and powerful moments of their life.
These things need to be lived.
And that’s exactly what this training is built around.
WHAT THIS IS
Four days in the Snowy Mountains. A complete online curriculum. And the professional credentials to practise from day one.
Breathless Level 1 is a fully accredited breathwork facilitator training that begins, or deepens, with a 4-day in-person intensive held in the mountains of NSW. Surrounded by nature, alongside a cohort of like-minded people, you’ll build real facilitation skills through real practice.
It’s been described as “pure magic” and “by far the best training I’ve attended.”
That’s not marketing. That’s what graduates say when they come back from the mountain.
THE IN-PERSON EXPERIENCE | SNOWY MOUNTAINS, NSW
Four days. Nature. Real practice. Real people.
This is where the training comes alive.
You’ll arrive in one of Australia’s most breathtaking landscapes, step away from the noise of everyday life, and spend four full days immersed in breathwork, practising, facilitating, receiving, learning, and connecting.
This isn’t a retreat where you sit and listen. It’s a skill-building intensive where you do the work, guided by Johannes and the Breathless Team every step of the way.
By the time you leave, you’ll have:
- Facilitated breathwork sessions in real group settings
- Received direct feedback on your technique and presence
- Experienced altered states, emotional release, and the full arc of a breathwork journey, as both participant and facilitator
- Built genuine bonds with peers who share the same intention you do
Graduates consistently describe the experience as “a trip of a lifetime” and many say it’s the moment they truly became a facilitator, not just someone who learned about it.
You can join the Snowy Mountains intensive at the beginning of your training or at any point along the way.
THE ONLINE CURRICULUM; YOUR COMPLETE FOUNDATION
The in-person experience is powerful. The online curriculum is what makes it last.
Your full Level 1 curriculum is self-paced, comprehensive, and designed to be worked through before, during, or after your in-person intensive, at a rhythm that suits your life.
It covers everything you need to facilitate with confidence:
- Nervous system science and breathwork physiology
- Trauma-informed facilitation principles
- Altered states education and contraindications
- Session design, group dynamics, and client intake
- Ethics, scope of practice, and professional boundaries
- Business foundations for new facilitators
And beyond the curriculum, you have access to live sessions every Wednesday & Friday at 7 am AEST/AEDT, ongoing practice, peer connection, and direct guidance, available across three 10-week cycles per year.
The online training is included as part of your full Breathless Level 1 package.
WHO THIS IS FOR
You’ve experienced breathwork and felt something shift, and you want to be the person who creates that for others.
You’re drawn to work that is embodied, science-backed, and genuinely meaningful. You want training that prepares you for the full reality of facilitation, not just the highlight reel.
You might be a coach, therapist, yoga teacher, health professional, or someone making a complete career change. You might have no formal background at all.
What matters is the readiness to show up fully, for the mountain, for the work, for the people you’ll one day guide.
As one graduate put it: “Breathless isn’t a business selling certifications. It’s a life-changing organisation that creates community, connection, profound healing, and lifelong transformation that ripples throughout the world.”
JOHANNES EGBERTS & THE BREATHLESS TEAM
“Johannes is a remarkable human and a real master of his discipline.”
Johannes has spent over a decade in the field, as a freediving instructor, Wim Hof Method Instructor, Oxygen Advantage Instructor, HeartMath Trainer, and certified yoga teacher. He has facilitated breathwork for thousands of people, and co-authored peer-reviewed research published in international scientific journals.
But what graduates remember most is how it felt to be in the room with him.
“Incredibly talented at what they do, with boundless kindness, compassion and positivity.”
The Breathless team brings that same presence and care to every aspect of the in-person experience, from the moment you arrive to the very last goodbye.

RESEARCH & CREDIBILITY
This work is independently researched.
In collaboration with Macquarie University, Breathless participated in a study across 505 participants that found significant improvements in mood, substantial reductions in anxiety (with some of the largest effect sizes recorded in breathwork research), and measurable growth in interoceptive awareness, all sustained one week later.
Johannes is also a co-author of peer-reviewed breathwork research published in Brain Sciences (Banushi et al., 2023, MDPI), an internationally recognised scientific journal.
When you train with Breathless, you’re learning from practice that has been measured, studied, and published.

When can I start facilitating breathwork?
From day one.

Why breathwork?
Because breath is the bridge.
Between science and spirituality.
Between regulation and expansion.
Between surviving and thriving.
Breathwork is one of the fastest-growing wellbeing modalities in the world — and demand is only increasing.
Read more about different types of breathwork here.
What do I need to pack for the Mountain Immersion?
Once enrolled, you’ll receive a comprehensive welcome pack with everything you need to prepare.
Is breathwork safe?
Breathwork offers many benefits, but it’s not for everyone in every moment.
You must carefully complete the Breathless waiver and disclose any relevant medical conditions.
Some conditions may require medical clearance. A “yes” does not automatically exclude you.
Safety, transparency, and informed choice come first.
Can I attend if I’m under 18?
Generally, this training is best suited for ages 18+. Under-18 attendance is assessed case by case. Please contact us with the event details and participant information.
