30-hour Soulbreath® Breathwork
Teacher Training Online
Learn to guide with the breath, in the way she was meant to be:
Safe, compassionate, endlessly joyful, grounded and from real presence.
18 years
teaching internationally
of conscious breathwork
Everything you need to know:
Breathwork is one of the most powerful tools you can offer as a teacher, and also one of the most precious and transformative. When it is guided well, it calms the nervous system, opens the body, helps to ground and brings people back home to themselves. When it is guided without proper training and self practice, it can easily overwhelm others, including yourself.
With Soulbreath® breathwork, it is essential to become an embodied teacher, someone who teaches from lived experience, not from a script. The teacher needs to become the living example. That is exactly why this training exists.
In eight weeks, live and online, you learn to guide breathwork safely, confidently and with real depth. You study the anatomy and physiology of breathing, you learn the difference between classic yogic pranayama and conscious breathing, and above all you learn the complete Soulbreath® method, from the first breath to the integration. Step by step, you build the skills every breathwork teacher needs: Reading the nervous system, creating a practice that includes every person, holding a sacred space when emotions arise, and using your presence and voice in such a way, that people feel safe enough to go deeper.
And because Soulbreath® goes beyond technique, you also learn what makes breathwork truly transformative: Breath Awareness and Soul Awareness, a presence that turns a breathing exercise into a homecoming. You will finish with a clear method, that you can use the very next week in your yoga classes, therapy sessions or 1:1 work. A certificate for 30 hours of Yoga Alliance Continuing Education, and the grounded confidence that you know what you are doing.
This training is for you if you:
⭐️ Are a yoga teacher who wants to guide breathwork with confidence and depth
⭐️ Are a therapist, coach or healer who wants to be a real solid and safe anchor in your work with clients
⭐️ Are a sound healer who wants to include conscious breathing to provide grounding and safety in your sound baths
⭐️ Have hesitated to guide breathwork because you were unsure what to do when strong emotions arise
⭐️ Want a clear method refined over 20 years of practice, instead of putting techniques together from books and videos
⭐️ Need your Yoga Alliance continuing education hours and want them to truly change how you teach
⭐️ Have a personal breath practice and feel it is time to share it responsibly
⭐️ Want live teaching and personal feedback, not another video course you never finish
🦋 And of course if you have been breathing with Erno before and you feel it is time to go deeper.
You do not need to be a yoga teacher. The Yoga Alliance hours are a gift for those who are registered. What the training asks of you is your commitment: to show up, to practice daily, and to be honest with yourself.
Good to know: No previous breathwork experience is required. If you live with a heart condition, epilepsy or a psychiatric condition, or if you are pregnant, please contact me before booking, so we can look together at what is safe for you.
What will you be able to do?
By the end of this training you will be able to:
⭐️ Explain the anatomy and physiology of breathing: the diaphragm and respiratory muscles, oxygen and CO2, and how the breath steers the nervous system
⭐️ Have a solid daily breathing practice that empowers you and helps you to create a grounding and nurturing flow, no matter what you need to do.
⭐️ Practice and teach yogic pranayama such as Ujjayi and Nadi Shodhana
⭐️ Guide a complete Soulbreath® session from the beginning, for groups and 1:1
⭐️ Screen for contraindications and adapt every practice safely, for example during pregnancy or for highly sensitive persons (HSP)
⭐️ Hold space trauma-aware: recognise overwhelm, understand the importance of your presence and your breathing, slow down, ground, and embrace emotional release with calming presence
⭐️ Use your voice, pacing, language and silence as teaching instruments
⭐️ Create your own breathwork sessions and personal guided meditations, and include them in yoga classes, therapy or client work
⭐️ Recognise the difference between the voice of the mind and the voice of the Soul, and guide others into Breath Awareness and Soul Awareness
Behind every technique in this training stands one intention: that you learn to trust your breath with Soulbreath®, so that the people you guide with breathing can feel that trust too.
The Soulbreath® Breathwork Teacher Training Online is a 30-hour live online breathwork certification training hosted by Rise & Shine Yoga School and taught by Erno Van Doesselaar, international breathwork and Sound Healing teacher trainer (E-RYT200, YACEP) and founder of the Soulbreath® method.
The training runs live in a small group, with eight Thursday evening modules on Zoom from 14 January to 4 March 2027. It welcomes yoga teachers, therapists, healers and coaches from Europe, the UK and North America, and provides a certificate for 30 hours of Yoga Alliance continuing education, covering a registered yoga teacher's complete training requirement for one three-year cycle.

Erno Van Doesselaar discovered the power of his breath about 25 years ago in his meditations, as a natural, ancient connection with his Spirit. In 2006 he began working with his Breath Master, Norma Delaney, who made him deeply aware of the power of conscious breathing, integration and how to connect with the Soul through her. Over two decades of practicing, teaching and evolving, this became Soulbreath®: his own method, carried by his extensive life experience, wisdom of the breath and his unique presence.
Erno has taught internationally for 18 years and has guided more than 3000 participants through Soulbreath® breathwork: in trainings, retreats, workshops, masterclasses and one to one. He holds the E-RYT200 and YACEP credentials with Yoga Alliance. After many years of traveling and teaching trainings in person, this is the first time the Soulbreath® Breathwork Teacher Training is taught fully online and live. This founding group will always remain the group that shaped it together with him.
What to expect from this Breathwork Teacher Training?
For everyone this will be a sacred inward journey. First we have to experience it fully ourselves, before we can share it with others...
Nobody is interested in another copy of the original...
We want you to be the original, we want you to bring your unique presence through the Soulbreath® breathing.
Because that is what fuels your joy and your passion, and this will also attract people naturally to come back to you, instead of someone else.
Nothing will be more important in the upcoming 10 years,
than being authentic and true. And this is who you are encouraged to be in this teacher training.
The format:
This is a live teacher training, not a video course. Eight evenings where we practice together, learn together and laugh together, in a group small enough that I know your name, your voice and your questions. Every module is recorded, so nothing is lost if life happens, but the heart of this training beats Live. Every breathing practice is consciously put together in the transformational sequence of this online breath work training.
👉 Feel how your breath shows you the way
👉 Receive professional, individual guidance
👉 Learn how to create a sacred and safe space
👉 Integrate your Soulbreath® breathing
into your daily life

For 20 years I have seen what happens when someone becomes aware of their breath and they reconnect to their core. Instead of managing their breathing, they start to truly receive the gift of their breath. Soulbreath® takes you away from trying to manage your life with all its challenges, and invites you into consciously living your life with presence and joy.
From initially not being connected to their breath, breathing becomes a very joyful and empowering experience that naturally becomes part of their daily lives.
In this 30-hour Soulbreath® Breathwork Teacher Training we show you how to become that sacred teacher for yourself and for others.
The January 2027 founding group is small on purpose. Fourteen people, eight weeks, live.
If you are meant to be one of them, I invite you to take a few deep breaths, because you already know 🦋
With love & blessings,
Erno Van Doesselaar
