Becoming
BREATH

Advanced Practitioner Training
Four online modules &
In person 8-14 May 2026 | Portugal

 

A world-class breath training for practitioners ready to stop "doing" breathwork and start being Breath itself - allowing them to live, lead, and facilitate from a state of effortless coherence and embodied wholeness, through biodynamic principles and non-dual worldview

For the experienced, overqualified, spiritually and somatically literate practitioner who is quietly exhausted in the background.

You move from being the doer of any process to the landscape it naturally happens in.

Remembering your true coordinates — the origin point where facilitation, body, breath, and life all move as one tidal organism.

EVERYTHING IS FOREVER BREATHING.

 Imagine this:

You stand fully in your Breath as a fractal of the Breath of Life. Effortlessly connected to the Origins of Life and the originality within you. Your every Breath is drenched with your life's purpose, as a very palpable substance. Even through the most intense moments of existential doubt of "what am I even doing here?". What becomes possible then? Exactly! 

It’s Not You — It’s the Old Breathwork Paradigm

You’ve trained in therapy, somatics, yoga, breathwork, coaching, constellations. You run your own retreats. You teach. People leave your spaces with jaw-dropping results.

And yet… the breathwork world either:

Feels too technique- and protocol-driven, too intense, too controlling.

Or never resonated in the first place — and left you wondering why... 

There’s a reason for that. Most breathwork frameworks were built for human-made outcomes, not life's resonance.
They teach how to manipulate breath, rather than cultivate a relationship with it.

Becoming BREATH isn’t just another training. It’s a full return to Breath as Primordial Intelligence so that you can facilitate with less effort, feel deeply nourished instead of drained, and bring your clients into lasting transformation without needing to fix, force, or control the process.

You don’t need more tools.
You need a different map. 
And Becoming BREATH is that map.

Becoming BREATH is an entirely different paradigm of being in relationship with your breath and facilitating breath-based work for your clients so that you can embody true mastery and excellence in your craft, leadership and embodiment.

Becoming BREATH is a new paradigm, a world where breath is not (just) a practice, but the nature of existence itself. Where breath is the connective tissue between the worlds, states, human and more-than-human. It’s the material of the weave.

It offers a new perceptual map (new coordinates) of our relationship with the Breath of Life. A simple yet profound way of orienting to that which is truly living and alive in the moment.

From control to relationship
From practitioner to field
From method to meaning
From separation to belonging

Tired of facilitating from the same place, the same things over and over again?
Your work started to feel flat, not satisfying in a way how it used to be?
Bored out of your mind when working with your clients?
Seems like your business is holding its breath and there’s no flow of money?
You’re adding more and more things to your to-do lists expecting that this will create the momentum you crave but all it does, is exhausts you?

We know!

This is the future of breath facilitation - effortless, biodynamic, and guided by non-dual worldview.

Beyond protocol

Your breath is always breathing you.

The "(work)" part is what we add as humans. When we stop working the breath, we reconnect to its natural ability to dissolve rigid somatic structures while simultaneously catalyzing new integration. Just like that. One breath cycle. Shapeshifting into resonance. Without any "work".

This training explores breath as:

A portal into the primordial organizing patterns of everything: 

Beyond relaxation or release techniques into alchemical depths where cellular change happens naturally. You'll learn to (facilitate) access to the “primordial ooze”, where return to the states of wholeness happens without any effort because it's the natural order of things.

A powerful alchemizing force:

Cultivating self and practitioner skills to relate to the breath as it interpenetrates through mental barriers to reach cellular awareness, expanding our understanding of what a Body is. Understanding breath as both the most intimate relationship and the most tangible pathway for lasting change.

A home base for the full Self: 

Relating to breath in ways that create and hold right conditions for effortless unfolding of Self. Creating a felt somatic experience of being grounded in Home and Self. Weaving the body back together as a full authentic being and back into the fabric of all reality.

A biodynamic force:

Understanding how to sense, follow, and harmonize with the body's inherent tidal rhythms (from micro to macro). 

We know exactly how you feel:

The quiet secret undercurrent of exhaustion with a flavour of “what am I even doing?” eating at you… because you cannot possibly let others see this. You are an authority in your field of work.

Performance of presence. You know how to hold space, you teach it. But underneath, there’s this micro-tension. And you can’t seem to grasp it.

The secret shame of “I should know better, I’ve done so much work already”.

The felt mismatch between your wisdom and how it actually feels to live your life in your body. It’s almost like your Wise Self is separate from your Human Self.

The flatness of your experience. Doing the same things over and over again. From the same ‘coordinates’ of Self.

The over-efforting in facilitation, the trying to create an experience and results for others. Saying you are not fixing anybody, but subtly chasing after outcomes and solutions.

Even outside sessions your sensitivity often feels too much. You absorb others’ states and then isolate to recover. But let’s be honest, this feels nothing like true recovery.

Something essential feels missing. A thread that connects your work, life and self, a true felt purpose rooted in the human body.

A quiet grief of ‘divine homesickness’, this feeling like you don’t belong here, on Earth with other humans humaning.

Your Teaching Team

Sanni Parkkinen is an experienced breathing educator, breath wizard, somatic coach, and E-RYT 500h yoga teacher from Finland, based in Norway. 

Sanni's roots are in non-dual Kaula Tantra. She has studied non-dual Shaiva-Shakta Tantra, Advaita Vedanta, Hatha and Vijnana Yoga immensely and taken several courses in Qigong and Tummo, in addition to extensive breath- and somatic work education. Through these lineages combined with modern day trauma-informed understanding of the breath and nervous system, she loves to weave herself and her clients back into the web of Life. Sanni teaches subtle perception, language of breath and embodiment of spirit.

Sanni has a deeply intuitive yet rational understanding of the human system, realms of experiences and metaphysics of nature. She is a shamanic vocal work practitioner and drum worker. Her big passion is to explore the convergences of latest research and ancient wisdom.

Sanni educates new breathing coaches both in Norway and Finland and holds retreats internationally ranging from therapeutic applications of breathing to more spirit-led explorations of breathwork.

Katja Markelova is a seasoned practitioner, educator and creator of the Imaginal Body - a school of advanced humaning that teaches human condition through resonance and field dynamics. Trained extensively in somatic trauma resolution, quantum fields, and folklore as somatic maps, Katja facilitates "Felt Imaginal Architectural Construction" - a process that dissolves survival-based patterns while building capacity for effortless authentic being. 

Becoming BREATH is a spirit-led, practical, breath-based space holding training for you who wants an elevation both in your personal and professional life.

The training is deeply grounded in non-dual consciousness-based worldview (read: solid philosophy), biodynamic principles (read: understanding the human system as whole) and the art of breathing.

Katja and Sanni will present a revolutionary framework and body of practices for exploring the field(s), non-ordinary states of consciousness and important threshold moments we tend to overlook. The explorations of the mythological, archetypal, ancestral and collective fields will act as a way in to re-charge, re-gather and re-organize; to land into the coordinates of your Soul.

Beyond conventional limitations

This training does not provide packaged solutions or add-on techniques. Instead, it opens previously unknown pathways for meeting your breath that honor both your professional expertise and your intuitive knowing about what's possible and beyond.

We'll address the underlying tensions present in modern breathwork that often remain unacknowledged in other trainings. Together, we'll explore approaches better suited to the complexity of modern nervous systems and the depth of transformation your clients are seeking.

The goal is not to replace your existing practice but to provide a foundation solid enough that breath itself becomes your primary ally in facilitating lasting change. You'll learn to create what we call "a universe within a universe" - therapeutic containers potent enough to hold breath's untamed intelligence while maintaining the stability.

This isn’t about learning new tricks and techniques or adding more tools to the same landscape of You. It’s about remembering how to let life move through you.

Everything you already know — therapy, coaching, somatics, yoga, breathwork, energy work — will start landing deeper because you will be clearer. You’ll stop trying to make things happen and realize they already are. 

Because the relational field organizes around the facilitator. And when you are clear, your field is clear and distortions in the field begin to move on their own.
