SACRED BREATH ACADEMY PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATION PROGRAM
& feminine mystery school immersion
Sacred Breath Academy is a Holistic Breathwork School, specializing in Trauma-Informed + Nervous System-Led Breathwork Facilitator Trainings, Conscious Leadership Activation and Transformative Immersions. SBA is Founded, Created and Stewarded by Kaya Leigh.
SBA walks in the BeautyWay of Breathwork, with every breath as a sacred summoning to reclaim our most authentic, embodied, loving and enlivened selves. To Walk in Beauty means to walk in holistic harmony with all things. Living, being, relating and acting in a Beauty Way completely shifts our perception of life, imbuing a deep interconnected reverence into all that we are and continue to become and blossom into.
SBA is also a Modern-Day Mystery School that preserves a large body of Wisdom Teachings, synthesizing both ancient and modern knowledge into powerfully-unified transmissions. SBA has further created our own method of Circular Breathwork (innovated by Kaya Leigh) called the Sacred Breath Method, which draws upon the Feminine Principle of Conscious Connected Breathwork (something which exists within all beings), taking a more intuitive, spacious and holistic approach to deep unwinding, emotional integration and nervous system regulation.
An essential pillar of our work at Sacred Breath Academy is to train our facilitators with trauma-informed somatic safety. Here, we honor the parasympathetic response, longer journeys, nourishing/safe/therapeutic/ceremonial containers, free-form uninhibited expression, and an intentionally-crafted nose-inhale methodology to invite a more full-spectrum and holistic approach to the work.
In this, we teach the deeply-needed ethos of allowance over force; nose (the intelligent path of breath) over mouth; sensitivity over non-sensitivity; parasympathetic over sympathetic; working with our unique physiology rather than pushing past it, etc, all as a foundational starting point to cultivate a relationship with breath as medicine. For we cannot summit a mountain until we take those first walks amidst the trees, breathing in the gift of those subtleties and working our way to the peaks...
SBA holds an anchor for students ready to embody and refine this work, taking something this powerful seriously. Our summon is to those who are willing to nurture and cultivate experientially-based wisdom though an intimate journey of devotion and eventually, mastery. SBA ensures our Facilitators know their craft inside and out, no longer contributing to the harm being caused by uninformed and irresponsible Breathwork, especially as it grows in popularity and becomes capitalized upon by many in a self-serving way. We must pan out and look at the greater picture of these actions…
At SBA, we teach trauma-informed, holistic, deeply-attuned guidance, and settle for nothing less. There is more than enough unexamined shadow in the Breathwork world today, so we seek to offer something utterly different— something truer, richer and fuller, that wholeheartedly respects the work. Quick, in-and-out, “pop-up” Breathwork Trainings are not in integrity. Let's illuminate this together though the healing balm of awareness.
At SBA, we place an emphasis on post-breathwork integration, regenerative savasana, deep circling/processing/sharing/witnessing, and grounded recalibration after the journey. You will experience an impeccability of craft in our training container, for we fully honor the depth and magnitude of the powerful healing medicine that is conscious, connected breathwork.
SBA Trainings are also much more than solely Breathwork Facilitator Trainings— they are also Rites of Passages into Conscious Leadership
and what it means to authentically, integrally and compassionately hold grounded, attuned space for another.

Sacred Breath Academy has been established for over 7 years,
with more than 500 Sacred Breath Facilitators around the globe on 6 continents and over 40 countries, and counting.

Unparalleled Journey

is held equally to the real-time skills acquired.
Each student will experience both an inner and outer transformation
throughout our training immersion.
For we can only meet others at the depths in which we have met ourselves…
***
Please also remember that breathwork is big, life-changing work and it is imperative that we honor its magnitude. Because of this knowing, our Academy remains an established leader and pioneer of ethical, trauma-informed and responsible space-holding. We have heard far too many stories to count within the Breathwork community of breathwork being held in an irresponsible, “sloppy” and/or non-informed way, and so it has become our FOREMOST INTENTION to set an unwavering community standard of impeccability and somatic safety when guiding this work. We will not settle for anything less.
***
Join us for a transformative immersion into the Mystical Path of the Sacred Feminine, in all of her sacred facets.
This is a call to women of all lineages, countries and backgrounds to come together in an intimate circle of soulful communion; to call, awaken, activate and empower each other into their highest expression and embodiment of the Goddess, incarnate. It is also woven as an exquisite journey home, delving into the magnificence and intimacy of our divine feminine nature and luminous feminine vessels. It is further a unique opportunity to learn the Arts of The Sacred Breath Method, Heart-Womb Breathwork, Shakti Breathwork, Kundalini-Tantric and Gentle Yin Breathwork, becoming a Certified Practitioner of the Sacred Breath Academy and our ever-expanding global lineage!

WELCOME TO THE 500-HOUR SACRED FEMININE ALCHEMY MYSTERY SCHOOL, BREATHWORK FACILITATOR CERTIFICATION + EMBODIED LEADERSHIP TRAINING
SBA is an Organizational Member of the International Breathwork Foundation
THE ESSENTIAL ROLE OF THE FEMININE IN PLANETARY AWAKENING
“The feminine, whether the feminine principle or women themselves, holds the secrets of creation, embodied. It is essential to understand this vital principle if one is to do any real spiritual work at this time of relational, global and ecological crisis. The feminine holds the key, because she contains the essential understanding of the sacredness in matter, and how we must reawaken that aspect of life if we are to continue as a humanity…
Both the feminine principle (the receptive quality in consciousness) and individual women in particular, have a unique role to play. This also must be honored by the feminine principle within men — the ones who can understand the power of the receptive feminine and her particular relationship to the spiritual principle of holding the light that is needed to heal the planet —
this is a sacred light that only the feminine embodies because women alone can give birth to a human being, and can bring the light of a divine soul into this world…
It is the feminine principle which understands the interconnectivity of all things. And what we are suffering from at the moment is an extremely fragmented culture who has forgotten their reverence for life and each other. We see before us a culture that is isolated, insular, overly-masculine, and life-draining. We take more than we give. We push and force our way through the world, rather than gracefully allow. We bulldoze, metaphorically and literally, through Nature and her creatures.
Yet the true oneness which is emerging into the consciousness of humanity is a oneness that must be midwifed into our collective consciousness — an understanding which shows us that ecologically we are one, economically we are one, collectively we are one, and of course, in the deepest spiritual sense, we are all a unified expression of the divine oneness which is inherent within all that is. Everything is connected and this fundamental pillar of existence can no longer be ignored. The feminine understands these sacred, life-serving connections which weave together our totality — that inextricable web which is both eternally behind creation and present within creation. The Feminine is the Key to the healing and rebalancing of our planet. And we begin by cultivating her within our own hearts, minds and souls. Here, we reap her deep, cellular wisdom within and allow it to be birthed all around us.”
It’s time to unlock our Ancient Remembrance… It’s time to reclaim our Sacred Feminine Codes…
For we awaken and RISE as one.
“Without the feminine nothing new can be born, nothing new can come into existence— we will remain caught in the materialistic images of life that are polluting our planet and desecrating our souls. We need to return to the core of our being, to where the sacred comes into existence. And the mystical feminine holds the key to this work of redemption and Transformation.”
We are entering into a new dimension of Queendom,
both in the reclamation of the Sacred Feminine,
and the rise of the Great Mother back into the world.
As this feminine frequency awakens and stirs, we rub our sleepy eyes and begin to remember Her deeply—
that She is interwoven into our every texture and thread of existence. As we live and breathe, we celebrate all that is feminine!
The unbounded feminine is an essential and creative energy that is the luscious force of existence itself.
The feminine is the cradle and origin of all manifest life and holds a living portal to the divine, the Womb.
To begin this time-honored pilgrimage along the ancient feminine dreampath,
we must first enter into both the Womb of Earth and our own Sacred Womb.
Here, we awaken our vast Shakti power.
And resurrect the depths of our love, as exquisite embodiments of the Divine.
From time immemorial, we as women have held deep secrets by way of ancient codes within our bodies. These secrets are so immense that, when accessed, we can merge with our original feminine state of divinity. It is now at this pivotal time in history that we are beginning to again unlock these mystical secrets and bring them forth into the world of form again. To begin, however, we must first reverse all of the conditioning we have endured over the millennia— conditioning which has silenced us, suppressed us, dimmed us, and covertly infiltrated our mind, hearts and spirits. And our great work as women is to return to a state of infinite respect and honor for our bodies, inside and out. It is our sacred quest to forge a new way— one that includes deep self-care and sacred nurturance; a way in which we remember how to love ourselves, unequivocally. A way that allows us the full permission to reclaim our sacred pleasure, passion, innocence, sensuality, love, beauty, enchantment and creativity. For these are our divine feminine birthrights.
This is a radical revolution,
a reclamation of feminine power and medicine!
This is an ignition, into the great healing capacity of the body,
a bowing to its intelligence
and the magick that lies within the temple of the soul.
“Know this about the female body: Spirit inhabits Her sacred ground.”
What you deserve to know is that your beautiful feminine vessel loves you,
unconditionally and unfathomably.
Your body desires for you to know your greatness,
your divinity, your wholeness.
Your body craves to give you pleasure and joy.
Your body seeks for you to experience this life in absolute awe,
through tastes, smells, textures, sights, the experience of touch,
the ability to move, and the absolute gift of breath.
Your body, the temple of your soul, is in devotion to you.
She contains vast wonders for your uncovering and excavation.
She is an unbounded experience, able to be infinitely explored in ever-unfolding depths.
She is a breath-giving exhibit of spirit in form, of pure magnificence, of YOU!
The body is not solely physical. It is a masterpiece of energetic currents, meridians and structures far more intelligent than we know. When there is a lack of continuity within the feminine landscape, physically or energetically, discourse is created between the soul and the natural realm, resulting in an inhibition from being able to live in a full waking and activated state, or in rhythm with one’s nature and cyclical being.
Disassociation, disconnection, and detachment from our feminine ground results in a fractured ability to fully receive the nectar of life and to move through its many experiences, grooves and textures. If disassociated, disconnected, or detached from her core, a woman may experience perceived separation, lack, fatigue, and loss of her vital life force, to name a few. Further, when not connected to her temple, a woman becomes separated from her central creative essence and life force energy which resides there— that which would naturally replenish, restore, and revitalize her in each moment of her life. This, in turn, leads to a barrier to her awareness of wholeness and belonging, and renders her into unconscious relinquishment of her vast feminine power, intuition and deeper wisdom. Without recognizing or being present within the full capacity of her core, a woman will only utilize part of her central creative essence, shutting down certain places of creative energy secondary to the protective mechanisms of disassociation, disconnection and detachment.
It is only in the journey home to our feminine temples, the deepening of our literacy and understanding of her, and the reconnection with her many sacred layers, that we may root into and enliven ourselves back to embodiment. Here, we explore our physical, emotional and energetic landscapes, inviting reintegration of our womb’s wisdom and divine feminine nature. Here, we dance freely in absolute celebration of our wild feminine essence, creative life force and overflowing divinity.
By understanding our physical, emotional and energetic landscape more intimately, we can breathe into and mend these points of interruption and disassociation that have taken hold in the body, and gracefully re-root into our sacred feminine nature, re-associating to the truths of who and what we are; engaging with the prana of our temple— that which is here to support us in our lives and awaken us into our beautiful totality as woman.
Through the art of journeying into our feminine temples, we begin to experience what it is to reawaken to our innate belonging, wholeness, and sacredness; that we are woven by and through Love itself. Through our bodies, the wisdom of our soul and spirit is received and anchored, and we are able to root this knowing into our lives and the world around us. To be fully present in one’s vessel, aware of and connected to the divine currents within, is to be fully, ecstatically and consciously alive.
As we return home to our bodies and to the core of our ourselves, we merge into deep remembrance of the Wild Woman who walks within each of us. We reclaim her lineage of wisdom, the way that spirit extends through and moves about within our beings, and the rumbling power of the feminine rising as she catalyzes us into healing and discovery, both within and without.
May it be known that our intentional container throughout this course is a safe and sacred space to honor your deepest feminine nature; a loving place to be witnessed in your totality. Here, you will be given the radical permission to embody All That You Are; to freely and fully explore and play in your great feminine landscape; and to be met in authentic, empowering sisterhood. You will be invited to traverse both shadow and light, pleasure and pain, ecstasy and grief, and so on; for we do not discriminate against the full spectrum of our emotionality as humans (and women). Rather, all parts are you are welcome, to be lovingly and compassionately witnessed. This is a call home to your sacred temple…. to remember and reclaim presence, power and pleasure in your body and life.
Your unique feminine medicine lies in this ancient reclaiming,
deep within your essential core, from sacred roots to sacred crown.
“She is a wild, mysterious forest
with temples and treasures concealed within.”
OPENING THE MAGICAL DOORWAY TO THE THRONE OF THE GODDESS
The feminine dimension is a sacred, sensual, creative, luscious, flowing and ecstatic realm of being. This frequency is bathed in a primordial creative energy of love and pure life force. It is also the realm of deep feeling and intuitive knowing, sacred and healing arts, magic and enchantment, creation and manifestation, communion and storytelling, infinite wisdom and infinite life.
And the womb space is the grail of the feminine.
As woman, the womb portal we hold within us is a vast, liminal and energetic space that can be accessed within the subtleties of our being. This frequency, when activated, serves as a gateway to the remembrance of our innate innocence, pleasure centers and beautiful feminine essence. Awakening these spaces within guides us to
offer our Shakti life force energy into the world.
The Womb is the eternal mystery of the primordial, dazzling darkness that births light into being. It is a gateway to a powerful realm of wisdom and inner knowing. It is the Feminine Holy Grail: the chalice that holds the secrets of life in numerous capacities. We do not have to search outside ourselves to receive the answers we seek in our lives; we need only make a pilgrimage deep inside our own bodies, our most exquisite temples. Our bodies are temples because Source lives inside of us, and we house these codes within. Every cell is a portal to the divine, and the womb is the mother of the magnificent system we call the feminine human body.
For we are living, breathing manifestations of the Goddess.
A component of our immersion will be an intentional journey through the doorway of your own personal womb space into the Womb of Creation, the feminine source of all life. We will take this sacred pilgrimage into the Temple of Woman to merge with our original blueprint of feminine divinity— the gateway to our prismatic wholeness. The consciousness that lives in our wombs births our reality, and has the power to rebirth it as well— as the Womb is a cosmic cradle of potential, brimming with infinite life.
This womb is our ultimate feminine birthright and the throne of all possibility.
Coming back into this state of connection allows us to fully embody our sacred vessel and birth a higher frequency of light, whether in the physical form of a child or through our creative offerings/sacred service which we give into the world. As we begin to reconnect with our womb space, we may find deep pain, grief or sorrow rising to the surface— for the majority of our unresolved trauma lies here. Thus, it is imperative to transmute these pains into love and awareness in order to bring forth a new generation and higher planetary vibration, free from the bonds of generational pain and trauma. As we heal ourselves and the womb, we heal for our families, loved ones, ancestral lineages, the women in our life, and for our collective sisterhood at large. This is the deepest work we can ever do. And it is so immensely needed at this time in our collective evolution.
As the Dalai Lama and many other seers have said, the return to the feminine will be what saves us.

Having offered herself, body and soul, in service of spirit, she mediates between matter and spirit, between human and divine realms.”

We are condensing ours for you into a powerful, full-on container of learning, wisdom and transformation + making it more financially attainable than the majority of Breathwork Facilitator Trainings out there, if and only if you are willing to show up fully during and after. Please check in with yourself and your level of commitment before applying.
Additionally, the moment you say “YES!” to this journey, the inner work begins. You may find that a healing or illumination process will present itself to you long before the training begins. Trust this as it is deeply serving your growth and expansion.

The Return to the Feminine Principle in Circular Breathwork
Required course BOOK LIST GIVEN UPON REGISTRATION
“Once we start to work with Feminine power we begin to see that it is not our minds that are in control of this power – it ebbs and flows with the movements of the planets, the procession of the seasons, the moons and tides, our own internal cycles, and the events around us. All these and more impact our experience and expressions of power. We learn to become aware of these various patterns and their impact on us and work more consciously with rather than against or in spite of them. We learn that they are all part of the same process. We open towards the energy, rather than shut down to it.
We learn to trust in the flow...”

Kaya’s core breathwork modality, The Sacred Breath Method, is an uninhibited, spacious and feminine approach to breath journeying, which guides the breather into the cultivation of deep self-intimacy, to truly know thyself. It is from this precious place that sustainable change is born, but not before taking that courageous journey into one’s sacred totality. Kaya has been working with breath medicine for over a decade now, and to this day, remains continuously in awe of the metamorphoses it catalyzes in both the individual and the collective. She believes that conscious breath is an art form which holds the most profound treasure we seek: intimate union with ourselves. Through this beautiful practice, we ignite the full-bodied remembrance that the grail is not outside of us. Rather, our grail quest exists within the sacred, subterranean decent into All That We Are… In the complete recognition that we are the ones we seek. That we are divinity in manifest form… In this, we reclaim the knowing that the complete power of the universe swirls within our every cell, patiently waiting to be unlocked! Kaya’s promise is that she will gently challenge you to rise and remember that everything you have ever searched for is already inside of you. And that you hold infinite creative capacities within, yearning to be fully realized. The only question is…. Will you claim all that is yours? Will you fully stand on your Feminine Throne? Will you awaken your royal codes?

Alexandra Durigan is a Women’s Specialty Registered Nurse, Women’s Pelvic Health Specialist, Holistic Womb Guide and Founder of ORIGIN Pelvic Care. From having worked in the western realms and allopathic care to the founding of her practice ORIGIN Pelvic Care, Alexandra brings a revolutionary new paradigm of reproductive and sexual health to well woman care.
Alexandra’s approach to pelvic care and women's health is to uphold deep reverence and respect for the sacredness of the body and for each woman. ORIGIN Pelvic Care is founded upon her belief that we deserve so much more for our womanhood, and that it is not only important and transformational on the individual level but essential to our world itself to more greatly care for our women and their wombs. ORIGIN Pelvic Care returns women to the beauty and wisdom of their centers while initiating greater health outcomes throughout the journey of womanhood. ORIGIN Pelvic Care upholds the sanctity of the female body, honoring each woman’s right to live empowered within her center, and endorses immense respect and value for our reproductive and sexual health.
Alexandra’s point of view is that care should empower women to feel confidence in their bodies and lives while supporting them to access medicine in their womb and center. Her practice is located in Boulder Colorado where she serves women in the realms of Sexuality & Pleasure, Reproductive Health, and The Birth Continuum.
Alexandra writes: There is a deep hymn within my body that has called me to the medicine of breath. It is one that is growing deeper each day as this journey unfolds. I recognize the absolute power of breath in its ability to bring one home to the body and the meeting space where spirit resides, activating deep healing and transformation. I am becoming finely tuned into the importance of this work in shamanic birth journeys, and for the rebirthing into ones original blueprint, healing the field. There are deep downloads coming in and I am processing them as they enter. My soul is expanding more greatly into itself, deepening the call to bring women back to their bodies, to unleash and unlock one’s inner power, to open one up to spirit and matter through physical and energetic work, and I believe that Breathwork is that which teachers it all, weaving the intimacy of higher states of consciousness into this realm and through ones body. I feel a great honor in learning and upholding the medicine of this work and am so deeply excited to bring it to you in safe and sacred space to fully activate and heal your inner landscapes. The space that which will be held in breath journeying is of absolute permission for you to receive and step into your full expression of inner gifts, and to guide you into the remembrance of your original blueprint and inner medicine.

Strong or soft, wild or serene,
Wherever breath flows there is song.
Hear its whisper touching behind the face,
Singing in the throat,
Dancing spirals in the sanctuary of the heart
This is a doorway… surrender…
Fall into the wide-open embrace of life.
For you are the instrument breath is playing.
This is your school, just you and infinity.
Vibrating in this luxurious hum...
The texture of Self in untamed freedom.
- The Radiance Sutras
The Art of Breathwork
Breath is the carrier wave of life itself, the bridge between spirit and matter, and the chariot of the soul. It is a dazzling derivative of the rich, pranic energies which swirl, spiral, dance and undulate all around us. It is also an ancient (inner) technology which has been largely hidden for eons… As the conscious engagement of breath is a multidimensional art form which holds some of the most powerful mysteries known to humanity…
The masters of the East knew that conscious breath was the secret to unlocking the highest states of consciousness, creativity and embodiment— for we were always meant to live in ecstatic vibrance and unbounded “I Am” presence, connected to ourselves, each other, the divine and all that is. However, due to its power, this type of breath was kept secret for eons and passed down only through closed lineages of initiation. It is only now, at a pivotal time in human history, that we begin to proliferate this hidden knowledge of the ancients back into the world, in order to assist the collective in healing from generations of trauma and conditioning and also to awaken our greater dormant potential.
Conscious Connected Breathwork is considered to be one of the most advanced techniques of self-mastery on the path to embodied ascension, and a straight-arrow path to spiritual metamorphosis…
What does this mean, you might wonder? Whereas some individuals may stagnate in their healing work- taking years, decades or lifetime(s) to isolate the root of their core wounds, traumatic imprints, emotional blockages and perceptual distortions (aspects that continue to influence them in the now and prevent their higher potential from being unlocked), breathwork will gracefully cut through the layers of resistance, armoring and untruth, putting one into direct contact with the source code (or root) of what lives within them for profound transformation.
The secret of secrets?
The only way out is through.
In order to release that which holds us back from actualizing our higher potential, purpose and genius, we must first intimately and lovingly meet these contracted textures, connect to and commune with them, hold them, deeply be with them, tend to them, honor them, and finally integrate their wisdom before we may set them free.
And Breathwork is the vital missing link which midwives this alchemical process.
So many unconsciously bypass their wounds (spiritual bypass), using “feel good” spiritual ideas to distract themselves from the pain, hurt and discomfort within them which yearns to be known, met and understood. They want to prematurely “release what doesn’t serve” without doing any real inner work around why these textures are appearing in the first place. Yet we must realize that we will never truly evolve this way. Because our return to wholeness involves coming to know the totality of what exists within us. And anything that bypasses this is, in truth, an aversion to feeling and welcoming the full depth and breadth of our human experience. Because life is not happening “to” us but for us (and our soul’s evolution). And nothing ever goes away until it teaches us what we need to learn. What this ultimately means is that everything appearing in our consciousness (no matter how seemingly difficult) is serving our growth and expansion from a soul perspective, even if it’s a challenging growth edge for the human self. Our life lessons will continue to present themselves to us until we can fully receive and integrate them.
And Breathwork allows us to show up for it all with grace.
The gift of breathwork is that there is nowhere to hide. Through this sacred practice, one must gently, compassionately and courageously meet themselves in complete presence to what is. Because lovingly holding ourselves through the discomfort to glean its deep wisdom IS THE WORK. If the student is ready, breathwork is a gateway to the miraculous. And the breath itself is the master teacher, healer and guide.
“One breathwork session is equivalent to about two years of psychotherapy.” - Henry Rohrberg, Ph.D.
Or, as one of our students put it:
“I spent 30 years meditating in order to connect with my true self. Yet through this lifelong meditation practice, I had detached from my emotions to the point of disassociating from my deeper feelings and pain body. I was spiritually-bypassing the discomfort and living in mental constructs of ‘transcendence’, which was, in all actuality, simply avoidance. In just a few breathwork sessions, however, I not only had a substantial union with my emotional body, powerful catharsis and transformational heart-opening, but I was able to venture into inner dimensions that were never possible through meditation. It truly changed everything for me.”
What happens in a Sacred Breath Journey?
Within our Breathwork Journeys, you are held in safe and intentional space to deeply voyage into the innermost parts of your being (physical, emotional and energetic bodies) and spirit (soul) to meet yourself fully in your sacred totality. Sacred totality is not simply divine ecstasy, though that is one of the many outcomes experienced with continued breath sessions, but rather an invitation to become willing and ready to meet each and every texture living within your being, to be compassionately seen and witnessed, and, in turn, integrated or released.
The beauty of this medicine is that the breath will take you there, so as long as you remain open to the wisdom of the process and maintain the ability to soften into the edges you once pushed against. It is with deep devotion that we experience the medicine of breath, for within each breath is the very molecule of life itself (spirit in matter). This ancient pranic intelligence is able to discern the breathers readiness, and will only take you as far as you are ready to go, healing, meeting and mastering yourself, layer by sacred layer. Within a Breathwork Journey, you are taken into your subconsciousness. The subconscious is that which you live and experience life through 95% of the time. This means, that without tending to your subconsciousness, you are reacting to the world within and around you through wounded, conditioned or limiting perceptions. Within a Breathwork Journey, you are doing the deep work of venturing into imprints and memory stored viscerally in the body, inviting through somatic unwinding and emotional healing to re-venture into fragmented or rejected parts of yourself in order to reclaim them fully, and meet them with unconditional love and compassionate presence. This process allows us to retrieve lost parts of our being, and return them to the seat of wholeness.
Within a Breathwork Journey, the breather also experiences a kind of spiritual rebirthing process, by which they may reintegrate into the vastness of their inner landscapes, unlocking hidden medicine and personal codes within their body temple, and receive inner wisdom and guidance as wounds and hurts are alchemized into greater wisdom and expanded awareness. By safely, artfully and intentionally increasing oxygen levels through conscious connected breathing, the brain begins to enter into higher states of consciousness such as alpha, theta and occasionally gamma, the superconscious brainwave. In this non-ordinary state of consciousness and also through the parasympathetic response, the body gently opens and unwinds and the limbic brain is accessed, illuminating blockages, repressed emotions and traumatic imprints so that the breather may safely visit these spaces to heal them, many of which are non-verbal and exist through somatic and emotional experiencing.
Through this process, the breather is able to release blockages and stagnations from their body and restore their vessel to its original and divine template— that is, a body temple that the soul is able to inhabit fully, activating and integrating their sacred medicine and gifts into conscious knowing, recalibrating to higher frequencies in their waking states and merging with the newfound experience of and deep and visceral peace, joy, vitality, creativity and ecstasy… in other words, that which is harmonic to our truest nature and birthright. With each conscious breath, we begin to move through life more and more in the way of divine flow, trust and knowing, dancing effortlessly in each moment to the rhythm of the collective heartbeat— the beat we share as one beautiful human family. Conscious breath is the living bridge to our divinity.
THE SACRED BREATH METHOD™: Fluid. intuitive. uninhibited.
The Sacred Breath Method™ is our method of Conscious, Connected Breathwork, created by Sacred Breath Academy Founder, Kaya Danielle Leigh. The SBM was born from years of Kaya witnessing breathwork in the field that did not fully support the long-term picture of healing or multilayered, somatic unwinding. She continued to witness more aggressive, stimulant-like and ”out there” breathwork that did not bring people deep into their bodies (“in here”), where the totality of what remained un-met was actually living through them. She found… That some breathwork was yet another “distraction” from going in… That many breathers enjoyed the mouth-induced quick “highs” of oxygen, but were not venturing into their total emotional landscapes, ultimately still avoiding what called to be healed. That the status quo was force and push over allowance and receptivity of process.
Kaya’s Method (SBM) was thus birthed to create an alternative and more therapeutic way of breathwork journeying and healing, amidst a sea of rigorous, forceful and fast-paced mouth-inhale breathwork with little to no intentional containers or safe space for processing or integration. Kaya saw that much existing breathwork was unintentionally causing harm, based on the unique personal needs, nervous system responses and psycho-emotional compositions of the collective. Because we are all vastly different, and thus, so is our healing. In realizing there was no "cookie-cutter" approach or formula to this work (as was being aggressively offered by some), the SBM was created as an alternative approach to breath journeying, to take into account the infinite diversity present within myriad individuals comprising the whole.
The Sacred Breath Method is a transformative and experiential self-healing modality. It is the way of intuitive, fluid and uninhibited breathwork, as this creates profound spaciousness and freedom of expression for the breather within their personal process of healing, release, reclamation and activation.
At SBA, we understand that the secrets of somatic unwinding, trauma release, full-bodied catharsis, and nervous system regulation include an artfully-woven and intentional container of complete free-form/intuitive movement and sonic/somatic/emotional expression, guided by the intelligence of breath and a deeply-attuned facilitator.
We also incorporate a nourishing nose-inhale breath cycle, which is key to activating the parasympathetic (rest & relax) nervous system response. You can learn more here.
We work with nose inhales because our bodies were intelligently designed to breathe through the nose, not the mouth. Breathing in and out through the nose helps us take fuller, deeper breaths, which stimulates the lower lung to distribute greater amounts of oxygen throughout the body. Also, the lower lung is rich with the parasympathetic nerve receptors associated with calming the body and mind, whereas the upper lungs — which are stimulated by chest and mouth breathing — prompt us to trigger sympathetic nerve receptors, resulting in the fight or flight response.
The Sacred Breath Method is a pathway to expanded states of consciousness, where immense healing and transformative experiences can occur through an intimate and sacred meeting of self. It is a revolutionary inner technology, existing through the simple vehicle of one’s own breath, which serves to awaken and activate the healer within— the one who holds all answers already. Through this work, we support a new paradigm of sovereignty in which we no longer solely look to outside sources for our healing or empowerment. We may instead return to the knowing that all lies within, and Sacred Breathwork is a catalyst of this essential remembrance.
Many who have studied and implemented our method say it is the next caliber of transpersonal and somatic healing, finding it to be completely life-changing. Through the unfathomable intelligence of breath (Spirit/Prana), the breather is self-guided on a personal journey into their being, or soul. Here, one is able to access expanded states of awareness, spiritual wisdom, and emotional breakthroughs (catharsis).
The multifaceted experience of the Sacred Breath Method incorporates a ceremonial, intentional or shamanic container, conscious, connected breathwork, high grade essential oils, smudging herbs, soul-invoking music, vibrational sound, somatic breakthrough coaching, sacred circling/processing and other powerful tools to invoke the deeper aspects of one’s being/soul. Integration techniques follow the Breathwork Journey so that the internal shifts may be anchored back into one’s day-to-day life in real-time, embodied presence.

“The feminine is more instinctively and naturally attuned to life and the natural world; its patterns and powers.
she understands the dynamics of relationship- how to listen and be receptive. she knows the rhythms which belong to the cycles of life, rather than the systems imposed by will that are presently strangling our world.
feminine consciousness is less dominated by reason and, in turn, more open to the mystery of the symbolic inner world. The feminine is a vital piece in the work of planetary awakening.”

THE SACRED BREATH LINEAGE
This is not a training where you go through the program and that’s it. By joining the Sacred Breath Lineage and Family, you will be a part of an ever-expanding global community and SBA breathwork network! We have a private online group and forum for SBA Graduates to share and collaborate within so that our Facilitators feel supported by community on their journey of teaching and building a breathwork business. We also have a social network just for our Facilitators while they are going through the Training. Even more, the souls you train with will become the dearest family to you. Many cherished friends have been made within SBA, as there is no greater unifier than the shared intention to be in service to the sacred. In our lineage, the bonds we weave extend infinitely.
WE WILL HOLD SPACE FOR YOU IN TRUE INTIMACY
No spiritual bypassing here! This isn’t just a training to unlock the pleasure points of the feminine. Rather, we fully understand her many many facets and expressions. Because of this, we will not shy away from meeting the more delicate aspects of your being that can arise within this work as we heal and integrate what lives within us. A concern we often see in women’s work is an inability for industry facilitators to fully meet the depth of what can arise when guiding women into the womb space. Because we see the harm that is caused by so many not being able to hold it there, we take the utmost care and consideration in honoring all parts of one’s experience, not just the pleasurable or comfortable ones. For our wholeness includes all things which exist within us.
We deeply understand the importance of meeting and embracing the tender wounds we each carry before we may set them free. We will hold space for you so that any lost, fragmented or disassociated aspects of self are fully seen, honored and integrated. Because our wounds are the gateway to our freedom.
At SBA, we are not afraid to walk beside you as you bring the healing nectar of presence into your darkest, most unexplored places.
We are here to witness you in your sacred totality.
By creating containers of self-intimacy, we are anchoring a way of being that represents what is possible for humanity if we were to fully honor our relationship to self, the planet, and each other. It is our intention that this experience will inspire you to redefine your relationship with life itself and allow your real-time priorities in waking reality to reflect the unfathomable beauty and depth of what is possible. When we deepen into this process of recognition, in true vulnerability, openness and receptivity, each participant (including the facilitators) will depart as a completely different person—
a truer, more authentic and soul-aligned version of themselves.
From this place, we create anew, from a bare palette of unlimited possibility, aligning with higher universal truths and forging a unique feminine path of our own, woven from our soul’s medicine and deepest knowing. Here, we remember that we are conscious life artists, wielding our manifest masterpiece upon the canvas of creation, sacred breath by sacred breath.
The space created for your metamorphosis will be one of grace and profundity, gentle yet deep.
Together, we will actualize your boundless potential as Woman.
YOU WILL LEARN TO CREATE FROM A PLACE OF LUCIDITY
Many of us carry unconsciously-held beliefs and lenses of perception that were never truly ours to begin with. Such beliefs and lenses can stem from myriad sources, including parents or primary caregivers, family members, ancestral lineages, past lives, educational systems, media and society at large. The filters we have taken on cause us to see ourselves and the world not as it is, but as our beliefs, conditioning and programming dictate. This can, in turn, result in a stagnation of our higher purpose and capabilities of genius, causing us to unknowingly replay old stories and narratives on loop, preventing us from fully embodying our inner truth, and blocking us from creating the life we so deeply yearn for.
During the training immersion, we will be breathing into, excavating and uprooting any unconscious beliefs which hold you back from living your most authentic, celebrated and inspired life, and powerfully dismantling them at the level of the quantum. Once these false perceptual lenses are recognized, acknowledged and seen for what they are, they can be finally released from our consciousness.
From this process, you will discover how to fully live from a place of lucidity over conditioning. We will continuously encourage you to trust in your innate capacities, unique medicine and soul’s gifts. We will invite you to stand resiliently in your personal sovereignty— your authentic seat of power. And we will ask you to breathe into the realm of infinite potential.
LIFE EXISTS THROUGH RELATIONSHIP
One of the most beautiful things we can do is to redefine our relationship with life. Each one of us is a vivid manifestation of universal creative intelligence, and it is our responsibility to tend to this relationship first and foremost, above all others. This (inner) relationship will ultimately determine the quality of all other (outer) relationships we have in this life. It is in this realization that we discover a spectrum of spiritual needs that must be met in order for us to thrive. Because of this, our relationships should serve to nourish, uplift, support, encourage, catalyze and propel us forward. Because if you aren’t growing with another, you are ultimately stagnating.
We will support you in taking a life inventory, ensuring that your relational, personal and business dynamics are in alignment with your deeper truth, and that they are supporting this new and empowered version of self. If they are not currently, ask yourself if this could this be stemming from old stories or belief structures that you are ready to shed and transform?
Life infinitely wants to support you, and to fully align to this organic process, you must be willing to release any agreements you have made (consciously or unconsciously) that restrict the flow of abundance, creativity, love, sovereignty and connectivity. For when you remove the obstructions, such naturally want to pour through you. Are you ready?
YOU WILL BE INVITED TO remember YOUR DIVINE nature and fully live it
There is vast, untapped potentiality that lives within each of us, as every human being contains a personal genius, or raison d'etre, the higher purpose of their manifest existence. Yet, in order to fully actualize this purpose one must, in turn, be willing to dissolve the self-limiting aspects of themselves which are preventing them from living it. And this beautiful quest only begins by knowing thyself, truly, deeply and intimately, in the remembrance that we are the entirety of the universe expressing itself through our unique form, through the sacred vessel of our body temples. Wow! The remembrance of your magnitude and true origin is the most precious gift you will ever be given. In this place, we access our divinity through human form.
What would it feel like to reclaim your throne of feminine sovereignty and awaken your royal codes? What would it feel like to rise into and embody all that you are? What would it feel like to remember your infinite origin? We are here to remind you that you are an aspect of Goddess and that a limitless power lives within you. If you were in full relationship with this knowing, would you stand as the divine royalty that you are? As a living spark of All That Is?
Royalty has nothing to do with status or title. Rather, it is a wealth of being; a merit of the soul. External wealth can only truly birth from this internal place. True, expressed Feminine Royalty, or Queenhood, is the journey of claiming your throne!… Because You. Are. It. And your Goddess-hood lives within you.
Throughout our time together, we will be guiding you in how to unlock and anchor your royal codes so that you may carry them forth into your life. So that you may remember that you are divinity manifest through your beautiful feminine vessel.
LIVE A FINANCIALLY-ABUNDANT LIFE THROUGH SACRED SERVICE
Becoming a Breathwork Facilitator is not only fulfilling and meaningful on a personal level— it can be financially rewarding too. With a Sacred Breath Facilitator Certification, you will be able to create clean, heart-aligned wealth for both self and planet! Because overflowing abundance is your most inherent birthright. And we all deserve to have purposeful work and to thrive!
Our Facilitators can ask between $50 – $100 USD *per person for 2.5-3 hour group immersions (meaning up to $1000 an event for every 10 people who attend), $150-200 USD *per person for day-long or weekend immersions (meaning up to $2000 an event for every 10 people who attend), $200+ USD for private 2.5-3 hour immersions *per session, and beyond (dependent upon your experience, clientele and community income standards). If you run a day-long or 2-day weekend-long immersion with a minimum of 10 participants, you can generate up to $2000 USD for that workshop alone. If you hold 2 longer workshops a month, that is upward of $4K for 4 days a month of teaching alone. If you add in 2 private sessions a week (or 8 sessions a month), that is another $1600+. This means that it is possible to generate a baseline of $5600 a month with very few offerings. If you doubled your efforts, we are looking at over $11K a month as a possibility! And this is only as a part-time Facilitator… Being a full-time Breathwork Facilitator can bring you into the territory of $20K a month! The possibilities are endless!
We believe all beings deserve to have a career, purpose and passion they truly love,
creating an abundant life for themselves and their family,
while simultaneously contributing something meaningful back into the world.
Becoming a Sacred Breath Facilitator will provide the tools, knowledge and embodiment you require to create a soul-enriching practice that continually betters both yourself and the world around you. In this, we provide for ourselves while simultaneously serving our communities and the greater collective.
At SBA… Everyone wins. Everyone thrives.
The Path of Breathwork Facilitation can pave the way for abundance in all forms, beyond just the financial aspect. Meaning, if a healing modality is truly life-changing (as breath medicine is), people will always invest into it— because there is no greater investment than into one’s most vibrant and aligned self. This then channels back into you as Facilitator and creates a symbiotic feedback loop of abundance between clients, facilitator, and the universe. Also, you are continuously co-journeying with your clients— as the breather heals, you heal. What this creates on a deeper, quantum level is boundless.
At SBA, we often say our “job” is literally to hold space for the miraculous to unfold— no exaggeration. And to us, there is nothing more rewarding, fulfilling or humbling than this. Because when one loves what they do, they never “work” a day in their life— they simply offer what ignites their being, warms their heart, and sets their soul on fire! We can promise you from years of direct, lived experience that this path leads to infinite blessings beyond measure. As there is nothing as beautiful or sublime as living a life in complete alignment with your higher purpose. What a gift…
The practice of conscious, connected breathwork is truly next level, a primary reason why we have taken it around the world and continue to remain in awe of the radical transformations it catalyzes in the breather. People who have consistently practiced different modalities of the spiritual arts and development (even for multiple decades or their entire lives) say that this practice takes them beyond anything they have ever experienced in all of their work and all of their years. Sacred Breathwork can, at times, mirror the experience of a plant medicine journey but with no substances. The breath is the medicine, guide and teacher. This work transcends words, space and time. And so, we passionately dedicate ourselves to its proliferation.
On our journey of facilitating this work, we have learned the importance of honoring its magnitude and trusting that we can come into the most tender and vulnerable places of self if we enter with true humility, alignment, and reverence for the mystery. We are committed to spreading this knowledge and sharing this practice with those who are sincerely devoted to responsible, attuned facilitation alongside a calling to greater planetary service. Only serious applicants will be considered. You would be trained in the spirit of the Sacred Breath Lineage through our International Academy, though the work will also weave with your unique soul expression and personal medicine (what you are here to offer into the world)! Remember, we are each coded with something exquisitely unique and inordinately beautiful to give back to humanity.
It is also important to understand though that this path is not for everyone— there must first be a state of authenticity, integrity and receptivity present. We ask that you have a deep self-check in to ensure your intentions are honorable and heart-centered in your desire to guide others, and they are not stemming from ego validation. Remember, breathwork cuts through all layers of illusion, deep into the core of one’s soul, in both facilitator and breather. It requires the utmost purity of intention and vibrational match. With shared power comes sacred responsibility. If this resonates, please get in touch, for this work is needed now more than ever!
Together, let’s create ripples of change in the world!
“In each age there is a fundamental shift in the way the divine reveals itself. This shift has already taken place… What is being born within the soul of the world is a quality of consciousness that comes from a union of masculine and feminine.
thus, We need to reclaim the feminine so that it can unite with the masculine in a new way, through which a new consciousness can be born. what will birth is a new way of relating to life, enabling us to have a fuller understanding of our true nature and purpose. Then the deeper meaning of the feminine can become visible, the hidden purpose of the masculine enacted.”
If you feel the call to learn this essential craft, it is because you are being summoned into the deeply needed role
of assisting the collective in a planetary awakening and flowering of higher potential.
Together, let us bring this profound inner technology of breath to those ready to receive, create powerful quantum ripples,
and be at the forefront of an emerging spiritual renaissance.

“This past week has been the most amazing, soul-exposing, paradigm-shifting weeks of my life. I remembered so many truths, activated, initiated and realigned to my potential. It was magic! Kaya, you are one of the most phenomenal teachers I’ve ever had the pleasure of sitting with. You embody truth, wisdom and purpose in a way that is authentic and healing to witness. You did more than teach breath medicine this week, you taught me that there is more than enough space in this world for me. You are a true leader, activator and collective healer. I am so grateful! My darling sisters- I could not have chosen a better group of women to walk this path with. I am so inspired by your courage to go deep and thank each and every one of you for holding me and allowing me to hold you. We wove a sacred web of light this week, ready to blanket the world. I thought I knew what breathwork was before (and to a degree I did)- but now I know what it REALLY is... I’m bringing back the medicine. Soul medicine. Shadow-alchemizing, path-initiating, womb-clearing medicine. The only way out is through and when you gift yourself the presence of conscious breath you are gifting yourself conscious life.” - Nui
“This training has been one of the most transformational experiences of my life. I came in with no expectations— just a knowledge that breathwork has the ability to heal us and open us to our true nature in ways that other modalities only just graze the surface. The Sacred Breath Training has rewired the way I function as a human being. It has allowed me to let go of so many stories I was subconsciously holding. It has enabled me to become gentler with myself, and in that place of compassion, my spirit has the space to flourish and expand at such an accelerated rate. As if the fabric of my being, the core of my self has now seen itself, recognized it’s truth, and can now permanently hold up an internal mirror whenever I choose. It has been many years that I’ve felt as though I was wandering this planet in search of my own truths, and through this incredible Sacred Breath Training, I found that the entire time, the answers were always within me. There really are no words to explain the magnitude of what this past week has been for me. Training is just not a word that feels right, it was more like a full-on download. The environment that Kaya creates for this transformation was undoubtedly the most powerful component of the training. Not only does the material feel completely aligned and connected, she creates a container for learning that allows you to actually become a vehicle of receptivity, so that it feels as though your entire being is absorbing the information, and your mind’s understanding and interpretation of the words spoken is just one part of this learning. The gratitude I have for Kaya feels completely uncontained by words. Like having a vision late at night of what you think is possible in this world, dreaming up what your heart can see with no bounds, and then experiencing that right in front of your eyes. It gives me hope, strength, and courage to continue moving towards my own inner truths. - Autumn
It’s been two weeks since I finished the Level 1 Breathwork Facilitator Course with Kaya and the other amazing facilitators and it still feels like a dream! The depth and connection that we all felt in that week will stay with each and every one of us infinitely. In the last two weeks, I have been processing everything and integrating the changes into my life and my teachings- it has transformed me on a deeply cellular level. Kaya has developed a practice that is infused with love- I have never felt as held, safe and supported in a breathwork session as I did during the course in Bali. The softness and tenderness that Kaya has taught us to bring into this sacred space with others is beautiful. The Sacred Breath brings you home. The week in Bali changed me forever. The connection that I had with the other women, I will never forget. I felt like our souls entwined in a place that our humanness is not able to understand, but to our spirit, its everything we know to be true. It was like time and space had no beginning and no end. In the realm and container that we lovingly enter through breathwork, we truly learn our path here on this earth plane, and we remember who we are. My life and my work have changed in so many ways since I arrived back from Bali. I started writing my next book, and even though it was already written inside my soul, it has a greater depth that is now being woven through it. We are all searching for something in this life. We have often sought externally through different modalities, believing that another person has the answer to heal us. To know that the answers we seek are instead within us- this will always stay with me. This work is so needed in this world, and I am eternally grateful that the Sacred Breath Academy was born in my lifetime! Kaya, from the bottom of my heart - thank you.” - Susy
“I recently completed the Level 1 Breathwork Facilitator Training with Sacred Breath Academy in Bali. It has taken over a month since the training concluded to truly process and feel ready to try and narrow down this experience into a small bunch of words typed on a page, but for the sake of potentially inspiring others to do the same and follow the call onto this path, I’m going to give it my best shot! The training was life-changing to say the least. The English language or ANY words for that matter, will cease to be able to truly describe the experience and the profound healing, knowledge and change it has brought into my life. Kaya is one incredible woman who held the space with so much love, integrity and wisdom for not only all of our learning, but also for all of our healing, both individually and as a collective. The content that was provided for the training was truly aligned with all that was needed to provide me with both the academic and hands-on learnings to feel ready and empowered to start my own journey into this powerful healing modality. This magical group of women coming together to heal and empower each other was something that I now see was so needed. This was not just a training. Personally, I felt it was an initiation into womanhood for myself, and the reconnection to the divine feminine that my soul had been so deeply aching for. As a collective, we breathed, learned, cried, loved, expressed and shared. As each tender soul healed, I healed. To be a part of such a powerful container was indescribable. I experienced what it truly means to be human. It highlighted how disconnected we have become as a society to ourselves, our earth and one another. I now have this fire burning inside of me to share, help and reconnect humans to their higher selves, each other and to the Divine that is. I feel as if I found myself. I was able to knock down the walls that were constricting my heart for so long. I now feel emotionally ‘clean’ and have noticed how differently I show up in the world since being back home. I feel so much deep self love, kindness, acceptance and freedom within that I could not feel before, giving me a happiness and confidence that I never thought possible. I will never forget each and every beautiful soul that I spent that week with. Thank you, Kaya, for following your truth and higher purpose, because without you and the work that you are doing I would have never realised my true path in this life and the power that I hold within. I encourage anybody that may be feeling the call to attend this training to listen to their intuition, honour their higher self and take the leap- you will not regret it with any ounce of your being.” - Indi
“This was the most potent, powerful, and healing training I have ever committed to in this life- and I have been through a lot of those kinds of journeys. Through this healing Sacred Breath Facilitator Training, so much ancient wisdom was surfaced, remembered, and revealed- both individually and collectively. Kaya is a true spirit guide. This woman invites and inspires the essence that is within us all to awaken, rise, and be activated. Through the medicine of breath, beauty ways, and ancient and modern wisdom that she embodies, she brings forth a unique, nurturing energy in to the field where nothing is judged and everything is welcomed. A container of love and support to grow in was co-created both through her and her competent, heart-centered team. My being has opened to yet another dimension. A spark within the heart has been ignited to this divine heritage that is for each and everyone of us holding space on our dear planet at this time. I am empowered to fulfill the next step of my soul’s calling, and to step forth together into this strong web we are weaving- a global community of space-holders, healers, way-showers, starseeds and paradigm-shifters, here to assist in the ascension of our precious planet. Kaya is a lighthouse with deep sincerity and wisdom and I highly recommend any training with her and Sacred Breath Academy.” - Bjork
“I was 35 weeks pregnant when I attended the Sacred Breath Facilitator Training with Kaya, (working with a modified gentle breath safe for pregnancy). I knew the healing power of the breath and I knew the healing power of women in circle. Kaya’s approach to breathwork is feminine and shamanic: it’s about approaching the body intelligence and wisdom with tenderness, nurturance, sensuality, deep trust and self love. And it is about daring to dive deep within ourselves, feeling safe to reclaim all parts of who we are. Breathwork gave me all that I needed to prepare for the rites of passage of birthing my child and birthing myself as the mother that I dreamed to be... My baby is now turning 5 months, the whole world has been in quarantine for two months, and I spend most of my time anchored in ...mmmh...bliss. Fear, concerns, and worries about the state of the world and the wellbeing of friends and family reach me sometimes, and I spin around for a bit... but quickly I go back to that precious pristine place that became so clear during the Sacred Breath Training: I go back to Source, this cosmic place where my unborn baby and I were floating in total serenity and harmony with all the trees of the world, the stars of the universe, our ancestors, animal and spirit allies, and all of Life... During those mystical journeys, my unborn baby and I visited diverse astral realms, clearing together intergenerational, childhood and collective traumas. We also spent time envisioning the world we want to live in... When I nurse my baby I remember the Sacred Breath, the sacred journey to my core... Today I trust myself and Life more than I ever have.” - Lili
“I feel like a baby in his mother’s arms... In every moment of this training I have felt so welcome to walk in, freely sit with all that IS.... to be fully me, with my parts of light and also raw darkness and shadow, free of judgement. I have felt so cradled. The experience has been absolutely impeccable, life-changing, and paradigm-shifting... I am already starting to experience unexpected profound changes in my day-to-day life, and I absolutely attribute it to this work. Kaya is an incredible teacher and guide. Not only has she taught me the magic of this work by the hand of the spirit of breath and elevated states of consciousness (also indescribable), she has in tandem created a space for my empowerment and peeling away layers of conditioning, guiding me, nearer and nearer to my core self and my authentic potential, which I hadn’t ever truly believed in until now... I have finally lost the need to seek outside all that is within myself... The training is coming to an end and I can feel it melt into my heart and soul, where it will stay forever. I won’t be able to forget a single word of what has been taught to us during these months. Yet at the same time I find no words to truly describe how thankful and blessed I feel to have been given this opportunity! It has enormously exceeded my expectations in so many ways that I would have never imagined. Gracias, gracias, gracias” - Sophie
“Below are my words that I feel could never really explain the profoundness of the training, but here goes! I recently completed the Level 1 Breathwork Facilitator training with Sacred Breath Academy and it was one of the most powerful learning, healing and growing experiences of my life. From the first moment I sat down in the opening circle, I knew my life would never be the same. Although I’ve practiced breathwork for many years, what sets Sacred Breath apart from the rest is the deep holding you feel within the space. The holding present allowed me to uncover parts of myself that were so important. The container created was so sacred and I will forever be carrying that into my world and community. As a facilitator, Kaya has a presence that I’ve not felt in a learning environment before. She oozes love, acceptance and embodies her truth in a way that was refreshing to witness and is so badly needed in this world. She holds space that feels so sacred and so nourishing that you are able to go deep within to retrieve the medicine you need. Every time I laid down to breathe, it was like coming home, over and over again. I was able to heal traumas from this life and beyond, gain clarity around my path, and in the most vulnerable of spaces, the facilitators held me in ways I have been yearning for on a deep soul level. I learned more than just facilitating breathwork. I learned that when women come together led by the heart, a ripple of change is sent out across the planet as we all journeyed back to our corners of the globe. I learned that to be a great leader, you must lead yourself with presence, truth and trust first, and that external “sparkly shit” means nothing if you don’t have that inner world knowing walking with you, in every step. For the first time in my life, I felt safe to be me. To be all of me, no matter how “too much” it may feel for others. Breathwork has been one of the most groundbreaking modalities I have ever used. The past week has been an unfoldment of truth and knowing I have felt inside me for so long. This work is THE TOOL & BRIDGE between the inner and outer worlds. I had been working with the breath for years prior to the Sacred Breath Training, however through the way in which it was taught to us this week, I have relearned *everything* I thought I knew about Breathwork. If you are thinking about this training, please do it. I can’t recommend it enough. Even if you don’t want to facilitate in your community, it’s one of the best experiences and tools I’ve ever invested in.” - Louise
I knew that this was going to be transformational. I felt it in my bones and the beating of my heart as it began to call. Though any bit of perceived knowing was absolutely blown away, dismantled in an inability to hold the magnitude of this sacred work. The moments of lying on the mat, surrounded by this family, immersing myself into this journey, are moments that have changed me in ways that can only be described as divine. That which breath has the power to unwind, to touch, to honor, the raw capacity of this work to heal is beyond. This, is the work. This, is what the world needs. This medicine, when committed to by our leaders, through unconditional love and heart, can be taken into their specialties, into the unique expressions of their dharmas, their spaces, their communities, and bring about great healing, empowering each individual in ways unlike anything else. The Sacred Breath Academy is unmatched in its devotion to healing and training trauma-informed facilitators, capable of upholding this medicine with the true respect that it demands by its powerful nature. With the potency of this medicine, it is imperative to only accept sacred spaces of somatic safety. Sacred Breath Academy is this. The call of this work, this medicine, is here. Breath is that which tethers it all and I truly believe this work is the forgotten key, remembered. Kaya, with veneration I thank you. That which you teach is exquisite beyond measure. The caliber of this training and of your ability to hold space and serve as a guide into each journey was a true privilege to experience, and to be a part of. Every cell in my body and soul knew it was safe within this container to explore the deepest, most vulnerable parts of myself. I bow in gratitude. The multilayered unwinding, the ecstatic joy, the great rivers of tears, the awe-inspired aha-instances of deep uncovering and truth unveiled, each a holy moment that cannot be captured in words. You are a Mother of Breath. This was truly breath-giving, a multitude of sacredness proclaiming life, permeating our hearts, and forever changing our lives. Deepest of love - Allie

FAQS
Do I need to complete all 3 pathways to become a Certified Breathwork Facilitator?
Yes, all 3 Pathways are necessary to become a Certified Breathwork Facilitator under the Sacred Breath Method and lineage. The final In-Person Intensive is what is required to substantiate and officially certify you as a Breathwork Facilitator. Please note that students cannot offer this work to others in any capacity without this final in-person component of the process.
How long will it take me to complete the Digital course?
Depending on your location, the Digital Course will take you a minimum of 4-6 months to complete. The Digital Course is self-paced and we host weekly Breathwork Journeys in alternating time zones, which you can book in when it’s most convenient with your schedule. Most students take their time, and complete the Digital Course between 6-12 months. After the Digital Course is complete, you will attend the In-Person Intensive and can afterwards begin on your post-requisite work to become a Certified Breathwork Facilitator.
Can I facilitate breathwork journeys after completing Pathway 2: Immersion + Digital Course?
No, you must complete the In-Person Intensive before you are able to facilitate Breathwork Journeys in any capacity. If you are interested in self-study + delving into deeper understandings of space-holding + trauma-informed, attuned and ethical guidance in healing arts, then you could always take the Digital Course and stop there. We do have some students who stop at Pathway 2, and use the course for their own personal development and self-mastery versus getting certified. After completing the SFA Immersion + Digital Course, you may self-journey and use the technique on yourself only. However, if you want to be a fully Certified Facilitator and teach the work, then you must fulfill all 3 pathways.
I am not ready to facilitate, but I am called to explore breathwork and the Sacred Feminine Mystery School. Which option is best for me?
If you’re interested in this experience for your own personal healing and awakening journey into the realms of the Sacred Feminine, you can explore the Sacred Feminine Arts Immersion as a stand-alone study. You can start with Pathway 1and build from there as you go. The decision ultimately depends on whether you want to carry forth the work or not.
Where can I find the course calendar and virtual journey schedule?
We host all scheduled events in alternating times which accommodate most time zones world-wide. By working with a revolving schedule, we can support a global container in the most fair and balanced way. All live sessions will be booked out a month ahead on our platform so students can mark the dates in advance. The Digital Course is self-paced, however the Breathwork Journeys must be attended live. Students can look at the monthly schedule and book Journeys "a la carte," whenever your schedule allows.
Americas/Europe/UK| 12pm EDT (New York Time)
Americas/Asia/Australia| 6pm EDT (New York Time)
Note: We are open year round, with a reduced schedule during winter + summer breaks. (Summer break is June-September)
How many breathwork journey are included with the course?
The SFA Immersion includes 6 Virtual Breathwork Journeys. The SFA Facilitator Course includes 25 Virtual Breathwork Journeys. Please note that 10 Course Journeys must be fulfilled to complete the Digital Course prior to attending the In-Person Intensive.
WHERE WILL YOUR UPCOMING In-person INTENSIVES BE HELD?
For 2023, we will hold the In-Person Intensives internationally in the early Spring and late Fall. Some of our previous Intensives have been held in the USA, Mexico, Greece, Costa Rica and Bali. With ever-changing travel restrictions, our Intensives will be announced 2-3 months in advance. Our Intensives fill up fast, so we recommend booking as soon possible if you are interested in attending.
What if i am unable to travel to an in person intensive?
While our primary intention is to have all of our students certified In-Person, we do have a Virtual Intensive option available for those who are unable to travel. However, please note that the Virtual Intensive is at a higher price point, due to how involved it is for our team. In essence, it is like a semi-private training with personal feedback after each submission.
Is Sacred Breath Academy a member of any professional organization or accredited by anyone like GPBA Alliance?
The Breathwork field does not have the same kind of governing bodies like the yoga world, etc however we do operate under one professional organization called The International Breathwork Foundation (IBF). Sacred Breath Academy is an organizational member of the IBF, as noted on our training webpage.
Additionally, we are an established Academy that has been a field leader for over 7 years, unlike many of the ‘pop-up’ schools we see certifying with no industry credibility. That said, SBA Facilitator accreditation is under our school, a breathwork field leader, and the greater umbrella of the International Breathwork Foundation.
The reason why we don’t fully align with the GPBA (Global Professional Breathwork Alliance) is because we don’t believe it takes 2 to 4 years for a student to become certified (according to their timeline standards) so as long as candidates are properly vetted, screened and interviewed. We feel that if the aforementioned is conducted with integrity and responsibility, certification can take place within a year (up to two years as needed). Many schools accept anyone and everyone who is willing to pay and register for the training and this is likely why they require so much time to train them, however we take a very different approach, carefully screening each applicant + feeling into their degree of self-awareness and capacity to hold clear, safe and embodied space for others. Our application process is very robust and thorough. Through our screening, leading-edge training, pre and post requisites, 43+ practice sessions, and in-person intensive, we have one of the most comprehensive breathwork trainings in the field. Also, time does not necessarily equate to an embodiment or mastery of the work. Depth, refinement and embodiment are key in our eyes, not necessarily length of time.
Where did Kaya receive her training as a facilitator/master breathwork trainer?
Kaya has created her own lineage, modality and school based on extensive years of training and apprenticing, advanced study, and years of embodied practice. She originally trained under a Shamanic Breathwork lineage with Earthwalk Journeys and private breathwork mentorship with a variety of renowned teachers, however, after witnessing that much of the Breathwork field was missing a trauma-informed and feminine component (a principle which exists in everyone and is not specific to women), she wove together her own modality called the Sacred Breath Method (SBM) through years of personal study, breathwork mastery, and extensive training in somatics, emotional intelligence, the subconscious domain, the nervous system + trauma and polyvagal principles, and more. The SBM is based on the principles of trauma awareness, nervous system coherence, the quality of allowance over force, and a parasympathetic-driven approach to support the delicate and sensitive spaces that we access in Breathwork. The SBM is based on the principles of trauma awareness, nervous system coherence, the quality of allowance over force, and a parasympathetic-driven approach to support the delicate and sensitive spaces that we access in Breathwork. You can read more about the Sacred Breath Method here.
At the end of the day, individuals can have walls filled with framed accreditations and still fail to actually embody their craft or have enough self-awareness to hold it in an integral and ethical way, as we have seen time and time again. Because of this, we are deep supporters of external training combined with experientially-based wisdom, something which only comes through the art and mastery of the craft and the subsequent wisdom cultivated and refined over time from a true embodiment of the work. Kaya has over a decade of real-time, embodied experience in the field.

A Final NOTE FROM THE SBA FOUNDER, KAYA LEIGH, ON MAKING A TRAINING A REALITY IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE CURRENT FUNDS...
Kaya writes: The very first trainings that I took I had to find a way to fund, as I did not have the financial resources available to me at that point. I actually had to take out lines of credit for them to pay back overtime. And...it was the best thing I ever invested in – myself, my calling, and my purpose. If you truly want something for yourself and it’s in alignment, the universe will find a way to make it happen. But you have to have the willingness to show up. Firstly, it’s important to overcome any limiting narratives which suggest that it’s not possible for you and instead activate your innate resourcefulness, resilience and creativity. The moment you say "I can’t" or "I don't have the money", you will set this in motion. However the moment you say "I will find a way to make this happen", it will be so. In the same way that many have had to take out educational loans for University, Healing Arts Trainings are equally as valid and vital, especially as the world continues to awaken and more and more search for true Guides and Way-Showers. To support you in your resourcefulness, we have compiled a list of creative avenues for training fundraising.
How to Get Creative with Fundraising
1- Utilize your network. Ask your family, friends, etc to donate- tell them this training is really important to you and will support you with the evolution of your skills and knowledge base. Ask them if they will help you with the funding you need to make it a reality.
2- Start saving! Delayed gratification can be even sweeter. We offer self-paced trainings year-round and they will be available to you multiple times a year. Also, remember this course will pay itself back many times over if you decide to be an active practitioner.
3- Consider crowd funding (Go Fund Me or Kickstarter) or independent fundraising initiatives.
4- Ask someone to sponsor you.
5- Ask for early birthday/holiday money from family.
6- Take out a line of credit or a loan (even from a family member) to pay back.
And so many more avenues if you get creative! Remember there are infinite resources at your disposal if you simply take the time to explore them…
