A personal message from Anthony

You already feel the pull toward this work, and probably the quiet doubt that comes with it. That you are not ready. Not qualified. Not enough. I have watched that doubt hold good people back again and again, and it is almost never true.

Maybe you have done the courses and read the books, and something in you still wants to go deeper, to hold this for others and not only for yourself. Maybe the work you do now no longer fits the person you are becoming. That ache is not a problem to fix. It is a calling worth answering.

Alchemy of Breath is where you answer it: safely, in good company, with a method that has held hundreds of thousands of people and the accreditation to stand behind you. I have put my life's work into this training. When you are ready, so are we.

A moment of stillness and reflection
Is this you?

Tap what resonates, and be honest with yourself

You have tried changing your diet, the workshops, the ice baths. Yet as Bessel van der Kolk says, the body keeps the score. If the same old patterns keep creeping back, the breath may be the doorway you have not yet opened.

Overwhelm

Life's demands sometimes seem too great. Stress and anxiety have become constant companions.

Untapped potential

You sense repressed parts of yourself, emotions like anger or shame, holding you back from your fullest expression.

Limiting beliefs

Deeply rooted convictions make you doubt your worth and keep the life you deserve out of reach.

A pull toward purpose

You feel called to guide others toward healing, whether alongside your current work or as a new path entirely.

It sounds like the breath is already calling you. A free discovery call is the gentlest way to find out where it leads.

If meditation is about clearing your mind, then breathwork is about freeing your ability to feel.
Anthony Abbagnano
Beyond surface level fixes

Imagine if you could…

Release what the body holds

Harness your breath to dissolve physical and emotional blockages, transforming stress into a source of inner calm and vitality.

Break negative patterns

Dive beneath the surface chatter of the mind into the subconscious, and actively, sustainably shape your well-being.

Return to joy

Leave negative thought spirals behind and adopt a positive, health enhancing mindset that opens the heart to its fullest capacity.

Guide others home

Acquire the knowledge and skills to lead clients, groups, and loved ones toward better health and inner balance.

This is the healing that reaches the core of your being.

The curriculum

Two journeys, woven into one mastery level training

First you walk the path yourself. Then you learn to hold it for others. Here is the shape of each. We will walk you through the full curriculum on your call.

A breathwork student in deep inner healing
Part 1 · Self-discovery

A guided personal descent and return, walked over several months in a supported container. You meet what the body has been holding, move through it, and come home changed. This is the inner work you do before you ever hold it for someone else. It is also available on its own as The Alchemist.

  • Your own healing, first
  • A supported inner descent, walked at your own pace
  • Shadow work, held safely and gently
  • Integration, and the return to yourself

Part 2 · Facilitation

The craft of holding breathwork for others, taught in depth. Presence, safety, ethics, and the trauma informed foundations that set this training apart, so you leave able to guide individuals and groups, in person and online.

  • Facilitation skills and the art of holding space
  • Trauma informed foundations, grounded in neuroscience
  • Guiding individual and group sessions with confidence
  • Building a practice, and a livelihood, of your own

Do you still have questions?

Answers to the most frequently asked questions

I have no prior breathwork experience. Can I still join?+

Yes. The training is designed for individuals with varying levels of experience and backgrounds. A comprehensive introductory module guides you through the foundations of breathwork. It is equally valuable for personal growth and for therapists, coaches, and wellness practitioners adding a profound tool to their work.

What is Conscious Connected Breathwork?+

A powerful technique where inhalation and exhalation flow seamlessly without pauses, often accompanied by specially curated music. It calms the nervous system, activates the parasympathetic response, and helps release emotional blockages and limiting beliefs, creating space for deep healing and release.

What certification will I receive, and what will I be qualified to offer?+

You receive the Alchemy of Breath Facilitator Certification, a globally recognized qualification. It equips you to facilitate 1:1 sessions, group workshops, and powerful breath journeys in a safe, trauma informed way, in person or online. It is also a strong asset within an existing coaching, therapy, yoga, or bodywork practice.

I'm already a holistic practitioner. How does this help my current offerings?+

Breathwork is one of the most effective ways to help clients release stored emotions and regulate their nervous system, often faster than talk therapy or bodywork alone. Facilitators amplify their impact, deepen client healing, and expand their offerings with breathwork workshops, private sessions, and guided experiences.

Is this only for people who want to become facilitators?+

This is, first, a professional facilitator training: most people come to learn to guide others and build a practice of their own. That said, many also add breathwork to an existing coaching, therapy, yoga, or bodywork practice, and some join purely for their own healing. All are welcome, and the training holds them.

Are scholarships available?+

Yes. A limited number of partial scholarships are awarded each cohort based on financial need and commitment to the work. Ask your advisor about the application on your discovery call.

What do I need to join this training?+

A willingness to explore yourself honestly and deeply. An open mind and the motivation to learn and apply the healing power of breath are essential. No prior experience or professional background is required.
