Prerequisite: Completion of Breath-Body-Mind™ Teacher Training Level-2, regular practice of Coherent Breathing (20 minutes per day, 5–7 days per week), experience teaching BBM and assisting at BBM workshops, approval of Dr. Brown and Dr. Gerbarg.
Description:
Level-3 Teacher Training is an intensive 6-day 36-hour program. The purpose of Level-3 is to help participants develop more advanced skills and become better able to assist in training others in how to teach Coherent Breathing and other BBM practices. Each teacher’s progress and skills are evaluated by Dr. Brown and Dr. Gerbarg towards expanding their ability to offer BBM practice sessions (in person or online) and to become mentors.
Candidates for Level-3 attend the same workshop as students for Level-1. During this training, the Level-3 candidates assist in training the Level-1 students. Level-3 candidates lead parts of the training and receive feedback on their teaching techniques.
Level-3 candidates will be invited to participate in more advanced techniques with Dr. Brown. Those who are interested in using breathwork in psychotherapy will be invited to meet with Dr. Gerbarg.
We work with each candidate to develop the skills needed to become leaders in developing BBM programs for their areas of interest.
Level-3 Teachers should be able to explain the basic scientific principles for the effects of breathing practices on stress response, autonomic balance, anxiety, social engagement, bonding, inflammation, and respiratory function.
Level-3 Teachers will create and maintain a set of resource materials including manuals, research articles, lecture notes and possibly slides. They will update these regularly.
Following Level-3 Teacher Training:
Level-3 graduates will be listed on the BBM Teacher page and will be invited to create or update their own page as a “Featured Teacher” for the Breath-Body-Mind Website. Photographs, audio recordings or video clips can be used to enhance the description of their professional interests, work, training, and offerings.
Continue attending and assisting at Breath-Body-Mind workshops. Every time you participate in a workshop, you learn more.
Participate in Advanced Breath-Body-Mind workshops and trainings.
Take the initiative to volunteer to assist at Breath-Body-Mind Workshops. Observe how Dr. Brown and Dr. Gerbarg teach, as well as how participants respond. Train other volunteers as a one-on-one mentor with hands-on coaching experience during workshops. Take responsibility for helping with practical aspects of running workshops.
Keep track of upcoming workshops by checking the schedule page so that you do not miss opportunities to volunteer.
Take the initiative and share your progress in adapting BBM techniques in your own workplace and other settings. Tell us what you are doing with the techniques, how your clients and students are responding, what new discoveries you have made, and discuss further enhancements for your work.
Become a Breath-Body-Mind Mentor. Level-3 teachers who are qualified may request approval from Dr. Brown and Dr. Gerbarg to provide mentoring for other teachers in training at agreed upon fees. Mentoring may be done in person or online.
