Practice makes perfect. After completing your training, to really embody what you have learned, you have to get out there and practice. The more sessions you do, the better you will become as a facilitator. You could have all the theory in the world, but without actually embodying what you do, it is very hard to become a master of it. This is why we get you to start giving classes within the first 21 days.
Niraj is considered one of the top facilitors of spiritual practices in the world. However he started with just 4 people on beach, and now he does shows of 400+ around the world! So he loves to push instructors to do their first class as fast as possible, as you never know where that may lead to!
We believe the faster you take action and break through any fears will help you become a better facilitator faster.
As our main mission is to make our instructors as successful as possible and that's why we also created BIG, our SOMA instructor network that allows us to give you ongoing assistance, training, marketing/business support, fresh music so you classes never get boring, your own profile on our popular website and much more!
With the incredible technology that we have accessible today, why wouldn’t you take advantage of the fact that you can do a breathwork meditation class on a beach, or anywhere in the world, as long as you have an internet connection.
Using Zoom webinar technology, you can have up to 100 people at a time breathing together and being transformed by your magic. Inside the instructor community we teach you how to fill these online meditations and create a location independent lifestyle!
Imagine Being Able To Create Results

"I have found SOMA Breath blows my anxiety out of the water. I have tried absolutely everything to get my anxiety under control and this method seems to work the best"

“I got my heart rate down from over 190 after a 5K run to under 80 in less than 5 mins and I am 70 yrs old!”

"Having suffered from muscular dystrophy for 20 years I have finally found relief from the pain with just a few sessions of SOMA Breath. Even the doctors are shocked that my muscle mass has increased for the first time in years!!!"

"I have been doing SOMA Breath for just 3 days and can already notice a clearer mind, more inner happiness, focus, greater productivity at work - even people around me can see changes! I have meditated before but SOMA is mind blowing!"

"I feel excited and energied, getting so many tasks completed, tasks I'd been procrastinating over for months melted into sighs of satisfaction and gratitude for almost everything large and small."

"It's been almost 3 months that I've been doing the SOMA Breath meditation almost 2-3 times a week and it has literally shifted my whole perspective of overcoming inner challenges and the overall outlook!!"

The in-person training is meant to serve as a way to fine-tune your facilitation skills in a live setting. It will help you fast-track to get certified as a Level 1 SOMA Breath® Instructor. You will have your live facilitation test validated at the event (meaning you will not have to submit a video for validation). And it will be easier for you to complete the online course to get the certification afterward.

Before you learn how to guide others to peak experiences you will experience it as well. SOMA Breath Master trainers will guide you to peak states of bliss, opening up the door to your higher self.

All participants will be recommended to go through as much of the online training material as possible prior to the event so that we can focus on the actual delivery of the techniques. We recommend you do at least the first 2 modules of the Level 1 online training prior to the event.

During these 2 days, you will be working with different methods taught in the online course and get to practice them in a live and supportive environment. You will get instant feedback and support from Master trainers…and when you leave the event, you will be able to start giving sessions!

Niraj Naik is a professional musician and pharmacist turned holistic health and Breathwork expert. He started his path in healing others, as a community pharmacist, yet after several years he found himself a patient with stress-related depression and ulcerative colitis.
This was a wake-up call that made him embark on a journey of profound self-healing and education. He created a global community of heart-centred changemakers by founding SOMA Breath - the global Breathwork and wellness movement with over 2500+ certified instructors, and hundreds of thousands of students around the globe.
Niraj’s Breathwork is advocated by some top names in wellness such as Ben Greenfield, Marisa Peer, Vishen Lakhiani, and Dave Asprey. His techniques are currently being studied by leading neuroscientists at Cambridge University.

Both are in-person trainings that covers the content for the online instructor training course. The difference is that on the 7 days you will live and sleep with the group, have more time for practicing and experiencing, learn more advanced techniques, enjoy activities such a sauna, dancing, and outings,...
3 Day Level 1 is about mastering the science and leading group sessions, while 7 day Level 2 dives into personalized, therapeutic work for deeper transformations using SOMA Breath Therapy and Neurosomatic Programming techniques. You’ll learn to guide clients through customized breathwork journeys for specific outcomes, such as emotional release, healing from trauma, or achieving personal goals.

Both trainings are mainly focused on getting you through the facilitation component of the online instructor training which is much more effective to learn in a live group setting compared to online. At the end of the 3 days you will have the opportunity to do the live assessment guiding a session.
