YOGABODY figures from yogabody.com, checked October 25, 2026. Prices change, so confirm on their site.
YOGABODY advertises this course on Meta. The page behind the ad is clear: published price and syllabus, live classes, and exams you must pass at 85%.
What to weigh: this is breath coaching, not Breathwork facilitator training. Its syllabus does not include leading a long conscious connected session.
That session is what our Breathwork certification is built around. To feel one first, join our Breathwork classes.
These lessons cover the conscious connected side of our curriculum.
What we don't teach: We don't teach or certify the YOGABODY Breath Coach method, brace breathing for lifting, or a Yoga Alliance certificate. If you need those, train with them.
Three days in person or twelve weeks online. The same surrender-based method and mentorship from Ryan and Shelby either way.
