The Way of the Breath: Jaartraject

The Way of the Breath – A Year-Long Training

September 2026 – June 2027

Breathwork is more than a technique — it is a path.
A way of listening, sensing, integrating, and meeting life with clarity and presence.

The Way of the Breath is a year-long, in-depth training for those who feel called to explore the breath as a transformative tool and to learn how to guide others safely and authentically. Over ten months, we dive into conscious connected breathwork, the nervous system, embodiment, sound, therapeutic presence, and the art of holding space. The training is both personal and professional: you grow through your own breath, and you learn how to support others on their path.

This journey combines theoretical learning, embodied practice, supervised facilitation, refined technique, and ongoing community support. You receive a structured reference manual, a reading list of essential books, and continuous guidance throughout the year.

By the end, you will not only understand breathwork — you will embody it.

Who Teaches?

The training is led by Antoon Walgrave, founder of Being Connected, breathwork facilitator, yoga teacher, and integrative body-based practitioner.

Antoon trained extensively in Transformational Breath, completing multiple levels of training, personal process work, and facilitator development within the school. Over the years he has guided hundreds of individual breathwork sessions and co-led advanced transformational retreats. Alongside breathwork, he has more than a decade of experience teaching yoga, with roots in Hatha and Iyengar-influenced traditions, and long-standing work with somatic awareness, trauma-sensitive facilitation, sound, voice, and embodied integration.

Throughout the year Antoon is supported by assistant facilitators, ensuring safety, presence, and individual support during deeper processes.

Entry Requirements

Because this training works at depth, participants are required to have prior experience with deep breathwork.

To join the training, you must have completed at least one immersive, multi-day breathwork retreat or seminar, such as:

The Way of the Breath (6-day retreat)
A multi-day Transformational Breath seminar or equivalent

This ensures that all participants enter the training with a lived understanding of the depth and intensity of breathwork.
