Have you ever felt a deep pull to help others heal, but weren’t sure where to start? That’s how many people find their way into breathwork facilitator training. Breathwork isn’t just about learning a technique; it’s about learning to hold space for transformation.
I’m Jon Paul Crimi, founder of BREATHE WITH JP, and I teach Circular Breathwork, also known as Conscious Connected Breathwork. It’s a powerful, experiential method that’s completely different from mindfulness or meditation practices. It allows people to release stored emotions, reconnect with their bodies, and open up to their authentic selves.
Your Step-by-Step Journey to Becoming a Certified Breathwork Facilitator
If you’ve felt called to guide others through this kind of work, here’s how you can begin your journey as a breathwork facilitator.
Step 1: Deepen Your Personal Practice
Before you can guide others, you have to experience the process yourself. The first step is to immerse yourself in regular sessions, either in-person or online. This helps you understand what happens in the body during Circular Breathwork and how breath can shift emotional energy.
Through consistent practice, you’ll notice how your own breath changes your energy, focus, and emotional balance. This inner work becomes the foundation for everything you’ll teach later.
Step 2: Choose the Right Breathwork Training Program
Not all trainings are the same. If you want to truly understand the power of conscious breathing, choose a breathwork training program that focuses on experiential learning. You want hands-on guidance, mentorship, and space to practice leading others.
At BREATHE WITH JP, I’m hosting a four-day Breathwork Teacher Training on January 29, 30, 31, and February 1, 2026. This in-person experience dives deep into Circular Breathwork. You’ll learn the theory behind the practice, how to hold a safe space, and how to facilitate sessions with confidence.
The first five people to register will get $500 off early bird discount, and everyone who completes the training will receive a certificate.

Step 3: Learn to Hold Space
Becoming a facilitator isn’t about controlling the experience; it’s about holding space. You’ll learn to create a safe and grounded environment where people can let go fully.
This skill is taught through practice and real-time feedback. During our breathwork teacher training, you’ll work closely with other participants and learn how to support someone through emotional release, physical sensations, or deep transformation.
It’s one of the most rewarding skills you can develop.
Step 4: Earn Your Breathwork Facilitator Certification
After completing training, you’ll earn your breathwork facilitator certification. This isn’t just a piece of paper; it’s a symbol of your readiness to guide others on their journey. You’ll understand how to design sessions, lead groups, and integrate music, voice, and energy work into your facilitation style.
Once certified, you can begin offering couple sessions, private sessions, group workshops, or virtual classes. Many certified breathwork facilitators also integrate their skills into coaching, therapy, or wellness practices.
Step 5: Keep Growing and Learning
The journey doesn’t end after certification. Every session you lead teaches you something new. The best facilitators stay curious, keep learning, and continue doing their own breathwork practice.
Through ongoing community and mentorship, you’ll keep deepening your awareness and confidence as a facilitator. Breathwork is a living, evolving practice, and so are you.
