What I've Spent on My Own Breathwork Training
I've personally invested just shy of $20,000 in Breathwork training: the SOMA Breath certification, several Wim Hof Method programs and a live event with Wim himself, an in-person somatic Breathwork training with its online program, and a 21-day retreat camping in the Baja desert near Cabo with Dan Brulé, who has taught breathing for roughly 50 years. That retreat shaped the surrender-based style Liquid Breathwork is known for. This month, Shelby and I head to the Netherlands to train with Kasper van der Meulen of Breathwork Masterclass, my fourth certification. I've heard from many facilitators I trust that he is the best teacher in the space, and we're taking his final retreat.
I share that because price only makes sense next to value. Some of the most expensive programs taught me what I didn't want to teach. The pushy, cathartic style wasn't for me, and learning that cost real money. Our Breathwork facilitator training distills what actually mattered from all of it.
The Additional Costs Nobody Mentions
- Sound setup: a speaker, a microphone, and a bowl or two stays under $1,000. Upgrade as you grow.
- Liability insurance: under $100 per year.
- Music: Spotify. That's it.
- Website: around $20 per year, and optional at the start.
- CRM and email tools: skip them early. Text people, post on social.
Keeping it simple at the start and still filling your class is something we teach directly, from experience. Filling rooms is how you make money, create abundance, and create real impact for your community.
It doesn't happen overnight, and we cover the business groundwork, not just the breath. Already running a wellness practice? Breathwork certification may be the most powerful tool for deepening what you offer your existing clients. Curious about the career itself? Read how to become a Breathwork facilitator.
