An intimate, in-person format

A weekend designed around you

This is more than an instructor training.

You can learn techniques online, study the science and follow the scripts. In person, guiding another human being asks for presence, awareness, adaptability, clear communication and trust in yourself. These are exactly the qualities we develop throughout the training. Through real practice, observation, feedback and human connection, you learn to read the room, respond with sensitivity, communicate clearly and guide with confidence and care. The training helps you become a grounded, professional facilitator whose work feels natural, human, intuitive and genuinely your own.

A happy Barcelona training group gathered together outdoors

That is why we call it Beyond.

Beyond the online course

Experience the work in your own body, in person with other people.

Beyond the technique and script

Develop your own voice, confidence and presence.

Beyond certification and being an instructor

Learn how to hold space for real people.

Become a facilitator people feel safe to follow.

Why train in person with us?

The online Level 1 course gives you the knowledge and methodology. This weekend gives you something different: experience. Experience guiding, being guided, being observed and receiving feedback. Experience adapting when something doesn't go exactly as planned. And experience standing in front of a real group and realising:

“I can do this.”

Learning by doing

Two days of learning by doing

This is a hands-on weekend of learning, practising and experiencing.

What happens over the weekend

And because we're doing this in Barcelona, our classroom extends beyond the studio.

Small by design

Why this training is different

Only 11 participants

With only 11 participants, you won't disappear into a large training room. You'll be seen. You'll practise. You'll facilitate. You'll receive personalised feedback and have space to ask questions.

You'll experience SOMA Breath® from both sides of the room, as participant and as instructor.

We listened to the feedback

This training is designed to give 11 people the time, attention and practical experience to become more confident, embodied facilitators.

Smaller, closer and more hands on, it reflects what we've learned from previous training weekends.

The full path

Everything you need to guide SOMA Breath® sessions

The Level 1 pathway gives you the foundations, the process, the community and the licence to guide others with confidence.

01

Foundations

Learn the science of breath, music and meditation as a therapeutic tool to awaken the full human potential of the people you guide.

02

The process

Learn the step by step process of SOMA Breath® Energised Meditation, and how to use it to build a professional career in breath therapy.

03

Community

Join a fast growing community of breathworkers around the world. Connect with other instructors and find potential clients in your area.

04

Licence

Once fully certified, you receive the licence to guide your clients through SOMA Breath classes and workshops.

Beyond the certificate

What does “Beyond” actually mean?

Certification teaches you a methodology.

Beyond is where you begin making it your own.

During the weekend, we'll explore not only what you're guiding, but everything around it.

Why are you guiding it?

What are you noticing in the person in front of you?

What is happening within their nervous system?

What is happening within yours?

How does your voice affect the room?

When do you speak and when do you allow silence?

How do you create an environment that feels safe enough for people to explore?

How do you stop performing as an instructor and start being present as a facilitator?

Your facilitators

Who you'll train with

Piotr Ciepiel

SOMA Breath® Master Transformational Coach Trainer at 7 SOMA Breath® Instructor Trainings in Ibiza and Barcelona Nervous System Regulation Coach Strength & Mindful Movement Coach International Speaker

Piotr's work bridges breathwork, nervous system regulation, somatic awareness, mindful movement and human connection.

Having guided individuals, corporate teams, retreats, instructor trainings and large scale experiences internationally, his approach goes beyond simply telling people how to breathe.

He teaches facilitators to become curious about:

Why am I guiding this? What is happening within the person in front of me? What am I noticing? How can I adapt while staying grounded myself?

For Piotr, great facilitation isn't about performing perfectly.

It's about presence, safety, embodiment, awareness and connection.

Yulia Blanca

SOMA Breath® Transformational Coach Vocal Artist Facilitator

Yulia brings together breath, voice, music and presence.

With a background in classical music, theatre, vocal performance, voice and acting, and meditation, she has spent years exploring how breath and sound can create deeper connection, expression and awareness. She has been teaching voice and speech since 2014, with a strong focus on helping people communicate with more freedom, confidence and authenticity.

As a certified SOMA Breath® Transformational Coach, Yulia brings this creative and practical experience into breathwork facilitation. She helps people understand not only what to guide, but how tone, rhythm, language and presence can change the way a session feels.

This adds another important dimension to instructor development:

your voice.

How you communicate. How you use tone and rhythm. How you create atmosphere. And how your presence influences the people you guide.

Barcelona from above, the city meeting the Mediterranean
Why Barcelona?

The city becomes part of the experience

Sunrise · Sea · Movement · Breath

Imagine beginning your training day beside the Mediterranean as Barcelona wakes up.

One of our morning experiences takes the training outside for a sunrise SOMA Breath® and movement practice by the sea. One of our evening experiences brings us back to nature for a sacred meditation and breath practice in the park.

Because becoming a facilitator isn't only about what happens inside four walls. It's about learning to bring presence into different people, environments and experiences.

The morning by the sea
Feet on the ground Fresh air Movement Somatic shaking Breath The rising sun
Parc de la Ciutadella in Barcelona, greenery and the lake among the trees Saturday Evening · Parc de la Ciutadella

Give yourself a moment to absorb the day

After a full day of learning, practising and taking things in, we'll meet in Parc de la Ciutadella and give the day a different kind of space.

You're invited into the trees and open air for an embodiment practice centred on the senses. Noticing more, listening more closely, feeling the ground under your feet and allowing your awareness to widen.

It's a chance to let what you've learned begin to integrate through experience.

Surrounded by nature, we'll explore presence through the body, the breath, sound, movement and sensory awareness, giving the nervous system space to integrate the first day in its own way.

Less thinking and more being here.

Sunrise movement and breath practice by the sea in Barcelona Sunday Morning · Sunrise at the Beach

Begin with the sun

On Sunday, we meet at the beach as the sun comes up.

There is something special about practising at that hour. The city is still sleeping, the light is changing and the day has not fully started.

We'll begin with a gentle practice combining movement and breathwork by the sea, giving the body time to wake up and the mind space to become clear.

You're invited to follow the rhythm of your breath and notice what is happening inside you and around you as the morning begins.

It's a simple way to enter the second day feeling present, awake and connected to your own experience before we continue the training.

Breath, movement, sea and sunrise. A new beginning.

In their words

Personal experiences with SOMA Breath

Every experience is individual.

After just a few days of SOMA Breath I noticed a clearer mind, more focus and more ease at work. People around me saw the change too.
Anja Onwave
Tasks I had been putting off for months turned into a feeling of satisfaction and gratitude. I felt energised and present.
Danielle Yealands
After a few months of practising two or three times a week, my whole perspective on facing inner challenges has shifted.
Shuaib C.
Of everything I've tried to get my anxiety under control, SOMA Breath has felt the most effective. The difference for me has been remarkable.
Debbie Barry
After a 5K run, I brought my heart rate down from over 190 to under 80 in less than five minutes, and I'm 70 years old.
Bill Wright
After living with muscular dystrophy for 20 years, a few SOMA Breath sessions brought me significant relief from pain. I've even seen an increase in muscle mass.

What comes next

The certificate matters.
But who you become beyond it matters more.

Imagine leaving Barcelona having actually stood up and guided.

Having used your voice.

Having been observed.

Having received feedback.

Having made mistakes in an environment designed for learning.

Having experienced the work in your own body.

Having connected with other people who care deeply about this work.

And having discovered more of your own way of facilitating.

So the next time someone lies down, closes their eyes and trusts you to guide them…
you're not simply remembering what you learned. You're ready to lead.

No. Technique matters, but we'll also explore facilitation, communication, instructor presence, nervous system awareness, safety, embodiment and how you hold space for others.
