Pending availability: One-on-one training reduces the completion time of the program. This option must be completed within a 6 month maximum time frame.
All 1-2-1 requirements are the same as those for group study.
Schedule DetAils
During your 1-2-1 training, you may be able to access breathwork sessions led by students of the current group cohort running parallel to your own personal journey.
One to one training should take around 4-5 months to complete allowing for the occasional break in scheduling.This does not include your in-person breathcamp graduation.
