Breath Coach Training for Teaching Children
Transform young lives while building your expertise
Learn evidence-based breathing techniques that help children focus, manage big feelings and feel calmer and gain the confidence to teach them in any setting.
Our Breath Coach Training gives you a clear, child-friendly framework built on the science of breathing well and tested in real classrooms. You’ll become the person children, colleagues and families turn to when calm is needed: in a moment of worry, before a test, or as a daily habit that lasts a lifetime.
Built on our Five Pillars of Breathwork
Everything you learn is organised around the School Breathe Five Pillars, so you’ll know which kind of practice to use, when and why.
- Educate: Nose. Belly. Slow.
Help children understand their breath and, with it, their nervous system. You’ll teach nose breathing, belly breathing and fun and effective techniques that allows children to influence how they feel from the inside out.
- Regulate: Move + Breathe
Stress settles in the body as well as the mind. You’ll learn short movement-and-breath practices, such as shaking it out or marching it through, that release tension and can shift the mood of a whole room in a minute.
- Create: Make + Breathe
Creativity quietly restores a sense of calm and order. From breathing poems and rhymes to breath doodles and making things by hand, you’ll learn playful ways to help children breathe together and explore how they feel, without needing to put it into words.
- Narrate: Guide + Breathe
Sometimes what children need most is a calm voice saying “follow me”. You’ll learn to lead guided breath practices that gently take listeners through tension and release, bringing everyone back to the present moment.
- Integrate: Rest + Breathe
Resilience isn’t constant strength. It’s the rhythm between activity and rest. You’ll learn simple wind-down and pre-sleep breathing practices that help children (and adults) recover, so stress doesn’t quietly build up.
By the end, you’ll be able to plan and lead breathwork sessions that draw on all five pillars, adapted for different ages, needs and moments in the day.
