The BBM practices are designed to activate mind-body communication pathways, raise energy, regulate mood, enhance performance, reduce inflammation, and help dissolve pain. This training is for anyone who wishes to improve their stress resilience, physical health, and general well-being.
BBM is ideal for yoga teachers and practitioners, psychologists, therapists, coaches, nurses, doctors, school teachers, first responders, relief workers, practitioners, NGOs, and administrators who may wish to also attend the Level-1 Breath-Body-Mind Instructor Training.
Benefits of Breath-Body-Mind have been shown in healthcare practitioners, individuals with psychiatric and medical conditions, at-risk children, veterans, active-duty military, research studies, and survivors of disasters.
Following this course, we highly recommend attending a weekly BBM practice session (45 - 60 minutes) for a minimum of six weeks for BBM Level-1 Instructor Training. You can also attend BBM classes prior to BBM Fundamentals training.
This BBM Course and six follow-up sessions fulfill the prerequisites for L1 BBM Instructor Training.
This BBM Fundamentals Course is registered for 12 hours of continuing professional development (CPD) with the Association for Coaching (AC).
On the 2-day Weekend BBM Fundamentals Course:
