Lifelong Practice = Life Long Support From SOMA Breath
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!

Will I Learn Everything I Need To Be An Instructor At The In Person Training?
The primary purpose of this in-person training is for you to have an immersive hands-on experience with other SOMA Breath Instructors and experienced Master Trainers that will give you direct feedback on your facilitation and will plan many exercises to help you step into your full power to guide SOMA Breath sessions. During this in-person training you will be working with different methods taught in the Level 1 online course and get to practice them in a live and supportive environment.
It is also meant to help you fast-track through the training and have your assessment test validated at the in-person training (meaning you will not have to take the live Zoom assessment for validation).
You will still be required to complete most of the online training materials, except for any facilitation skills which will be practiced on-site.
The online training materials cover topics such as the science of breathwork, heart coherence and other topics which will not be a primary focus during the in-person training due to the time limit as we only have 2 days. We want to focus on your practice so you will be able to guide SOMA Breath sessions before you leave the in-person training. That’s why we highly encourage getting through as much of the course as possible prior to coming to the training so that you can have a more hands-on experience (at least to do the Breath Works Challenge 1a. But it will be ideal if you can make the first 2 modules of the Level 1b).
