Certification Program - Women

Two-Year Certification Program

Sometimes we only breathe by force of inertia, but something inside feels held back.
The body moves, life progresses, and yet there are places where we don't truly breathe.
There are moments in life when breathing stops.
Those moments when we feel that so much has been stored up, that there is no room for more.
And then, when we suddenly notice, stop for a moment and breathe deeply, something softens.
With one conscious breath, we can discover that the heart opens, that the body releases, that there is much more vitality within us than we thought.

‍
Breathing is a gateway. It is like a quiet door that opens into ourselves, to the body, to the heart, to the places within where we might not have dared to touch for a long time.
With every inhale, we allow ourselves to receive, and with every exhale, to let go, to release.
It is so simple, and at the same time so powerful.

Exactly from this place, the certification program - women was born.
A deep feminine journey where we learn how to turn breathing not only into a personal tool for healing and growth, but also into a complete therapeutic language that can be passed on to other women and also to other men.
‍

This training is the only one in the country intended for women only. Not out of religious affiliation or limitation, but out of a deep understanding that the feminine space creates a different kind of magic. When the circle is composed of women only, a rare possibility opens up to be truly exposed, to release old patterns, to touch wounds and also softness, without masks and without the need to project a certain image.
There is a special power in a feminine circle: it softens, contains, wraps, and reminds us that we are part of something larger than ourselves. A long chain of women who hold and allow one another to breathe.

‍

Within the framework of the training, women meet, each with her own story, with her desire to be healed and to heal, with the inner call to be part of a chain of connection and life.

We will encounter emotional work, experiential learning, experiences in breathing, movement, sound, and touch. We will encounter moments when fabric wraps around us, like a soft womb that allows for rest and release.

The wrapping in fabrics is not just a technique; it is a reminder of how it feels to be held, wrapped, supported.

Within this wrapping, we learn how to allow our patients to touch themselves anew, to discover the hidden powers in the body and breathing.

‍

This is not just professional training. It is a journey of feminine development.

It is a place where we reveal ourselves to ourselves, learn to listen inward, shed old layers, and begin to breathe new life.

‍

What awaits you in this journey?

• Weekly sessions full of tools, experiences, and processes
• Concentrated workshops in the desert – together with brothers and sisters from the Northern and Central courses
• Practical practice and internship with close guidance and supervision
• A supportive and growing community, over 300 graduates already walking the path
• And mainly: deep knowledge and real tools to begin treating yourself and others through breath therapy

‍

The next course for women only will open in Kfar Shmuel (Modi'in area) - October 2026.

The course is a two-year program.

The course is led by Anna Lev Ari and accompanied by a team of certified female therapists, graduates of the Breath Therapy Institute training.

If you feel the call, we invite you to come for an introductory talk and discover if this is your place.

The training is in a small, intimate, and enabling group, and therefore the number of spots is limited.

Graduates Share

Learning breathing therapy helped me to bear the difficult and complex reality that was forced upon us, each and every one of them. I learned to trust myself, my breath, which is right under my nose, and ready to support, heal and strengthen, is always available. I learned such an important basic and powerful tool that I got to be exposed to it and learn it.
In addition, the women's circle is a magical, supportive space in which visible miracles happen. Highly recommend.

‍

I tried everything possible to help myself, nothing was as meaningful and healing as my journey in respiratory therapy-I discovered a whole world of connection to myself, a tool that is always available to me every second of the day, and not dependent on anything external.
This knowledge brought me together with my true essence.
Out of tenderness and curiosity to observe the wonder that is the breath, I have found the way in which I can help myself and others to just be.
Breathe and feel life in full force.
My life experience is completely different from anything I've known before. I'm so happy about this choice, it feels like coming home 🤍

‍

The course allowed me to be in contact with dormant areas of mind and body, and encouraged soft and beneficial inner movement. As a therapist (clinical psychologist by training), I received an invaluable tool for my work today, and the possibility of new and promising directions of work. As a participant, I feel that I have come to the right place, which has enveloped me with sensitivity and helped me see myself with better eyes. I recommend with a warm and grateful heart.

‍

The course connected me to the woman I am, brought me back to the softest and most vulnerable places and taught me to feel in a world increasingly enveloped and protected.
There are no words in me to describe how effeminate presence and female testimony is healing. The team is made up of inspiring, professional and responsible women. If you are looking to learn to care and at the same time learn to create space for yourself to breathe in, within this life - this is your place.
I would do everything again, without getting confused.

‍

I knew I wanted to learn something, and I didn't know exactly what. Somehow breathing therapy came to me, and not just - a course of respiratory therapy for women.
Breathing is the simplest and most exciting tool, the very first thing I got with life, and the last thing I would do in life.
Breathing is home, it is the best reminder of who I am, it connects me inward, to every part and parcel of me, it opens me up, closes me, teaches me, and helps me connect to my strengths and abilities.
Breathing is a tremendous medicine, I found my way by its side, and I thank it for that.

‍

It is difficult to put into words the powerful experience of the course, the sown seeds are still sprouting, taking shape. I learned to love me more, I learned to speak, to be soft on me and to accept me from all sides, to recognize what lives in me in every moment, to direct my breath to everything in life - to challenges, changes, desires, and just let the breath lead and trust her to show me the way. It's amazing how simple and available the breathing apparatus is and how much fun it is for me to have met him.
