More than a certification
The certificate is the easy part. Standing in front of your first room is where most people stall, so that is where we stay close.

The online training is complete on its own. If you want to deepen it in person, there are two ways.

Good to know
It is built for yoga teachers, coaches, therapists, physios and bodyworkers, and anyone ready to guide breathwork professionally. You should have some breathwork experience of your own. Brand new? Start in the virtual studio first.
Very common, and usually a good sign. The training goes step by step, from the science to your first real classes, in a small cohort where nobody gets lost.
That fear means you take the work seriously. Safety is our first pillar. You learn contraindications, trauma-informed structure and consent before you ever guide intensity.
About 7 hours a week: one recorded lecture, one live training, your own practice, and a live Q&A every other week.
Every live session is recorded. Calls are timed to work for Europe, the UK and the US East Coast.
No. The online training is complete on its own and you can certify fully online. Mexico and the immersion are there if you want to go deeper in person.
Complete the 12 weeks, hold your practice classes, submit two recorded classes and pass the final exam. You then receive your MindDate facilitator certification.
Yes. Pay in full, or split it over 3 or 6 months.
We reply within 48 hours. If it feels like a fit, you book a short 15-minute call with Nic or Toby to confirm your place.
If life gets in the way before the cohort begins, your place moves to the next one. Just talk to us.
