The curriculum of the deepening year (Year 2) of the School for Training Breath Therapists focuses on continuing the deep process and personal development combined with breathing, together with theoretical learning and the expansion of therapeutic training and practical practice.

‍

The curriculum is intended for graduates of Year 1 of the Breath Therapy Institute. Graduates of other schools who wish to join are invited to contact us and undergo an introduction and suitability process.

‍

We emphasize building a foundation of a protected and enabling therapeutic relationship, and creating a safe space where patients can meet themselves, connect with their inner world, and embark on a journey of exploration and development. The therapeutic space we create offers an opportunity to dive inward according to each individual's pace, choice, and readiness.

‍

In the program, we will learn various contents from the worlds of breathing, trauma work, as well as deepening the therapist-patient relationship and building a long-term and gradual therapeutic process in breathing, establishing breathing as a resource in the patient's life.

‍

As part of the training, we will practice breathing as a therapeutic tool that integrates naturally with a variety of additional therapeutic approaches and methods, and we will acquire the ability to hold individual and group breathing spaces with confidence, while gaining a deep understanding of breathing processes and their physical, cognitive, and emotional effects.

‍

The academic year includes workshops and experiential experiences, together with professional, comprehensive, practical, and fascinating training.

‍

The annual curriculum includes 280 study hours: 31 weekly sessions of 5.5 hours each session, as well as a four-day experiential retreat in the desert.
